Adele disclosed that she developed a fungal infection as a result of regularly wearing Spanx on stage throughout the weekends. During her concert in Las Vegas on Friday, June 16, the 35-year-old singer, known for her hit song "I Drink Wine," openly admitted, "My breasts are perspiring." She further shared that her doctor prescribed a rather unconventional remedy, which she had been unaware of until recently, and had discussed with her team beforehand.
The shapewear underneath her costumes has been causing issues, despite Adele's usual choice of iconic black evening gowns.
During her performance, Adele humorously shared that she wears Spanx to ensure a slim fit for her shows. However, she admitted that this causes her to sweat profusely, creating an uncomfortable situation where she essentially sits in her own perspiration. To address this issue, her doctor prescribed Jock Itch cream, which Adele playfully mentioned, making light of her predicament and comparing herself to a sporty individual.
"So it appears that I am now considered an athlete, which means I have to apply it on my own," Adele confessed. "I don't know why I just shared that with you. ... Essentially, I'm just engaging in a monologue in front of 4,000 individuals."
Subsequently, the singer instructed her team to increase the air conditioning. "Could you please ensure that my fans on the floor are turned up? I'm perspiring profusely," she remarked.
For her Vegas residency, Adele initially had 20 custom gowns commissioned, with contributions from Givenchy, Nina Ricci, and Harris Reed to complete her stage wardrobe.
Adele's Pride month celebration included a stunning addition to her ensemble. She dazzled in a black custom gown by Christopher John Rogers, crafted with luxurious materials such as heavy crêpe, silk charmeuse, and crêpe de chine. The gown boasted a sweetheart neckline and a cinched waist, gracefully flowing into a vibrant rainbow train.
When she's not performing in Las Vegas, Adele makes regular trips back to Los Angeles to be with her longtime boyfriend, Rich Paul. The couple's relationship began in July 2021 and has thrived ever since. An interesting moment occurred when Adele's ex-husband, Simon Konecki, was spotted alongside Rich Paul while attending one of the singer's concerts in London's Hyde Park last year. Adele and Simon share a 10-year-old son named Angelo.
