If there’s anyone who loves sitting more than me, it’s Adele, who spent the majority of her new music video sitting in a chair.
On Wednesday, January 12, Adele released her music video for the song “Oh My God” from her critically acclaimed fourth studio album, 30. Remember listening to the album and crying for days on end? It feels like 20 years ago. (But in fact, the first music video from the album, “Easy On Me,” dropped in October.)
“Oh My God” is an upbeat song (for Adele standards, at least). The video, directed in black-and-white, features Adele singing and sitting in a studio filled with chairs and apples. As the video progresses, dancers appear around her. Circular lights framed behind Adele make her look like a literal saint.
Fans across the world are celebrating Adele Friday (and sobbing in unison).
By the end of the video, Adele’s chair is on fire, representing a new era and moving on from her marriage. This could also represent a distaste for sitting in uncomfortable chairs without any cushioning. But I digress: The most important part of the “Oh My God” video is Adele’s three instantly iconic looks.
Adele’s first look in the “Oh My God” video is a black column gown with dramatic, billowing gauzy sleeves and a massive pussy bow. The sleeves and pussy bow have white polka dots on them. Adele styled this vibrant gown with her hair pulled into a bun with some tendrils hanging by her ears. She wore pearl drop earrings that pair super well with the polka dots and black boots with a pointed toe. For makeup, she went for her signature cat eye with a strong cheek contour.
