Hello .... Again! Adele continues her return with a stylish performance

Adele marked her live comeback with a searing performance and Q&A session at the BBC, due to be aired later this month and Adele continued her return to form with her second live performance  after a three year touring hiatus  at the NRJ Awards, in France, on Saturday night.

Taking to the stage at the awards ceremony in Cannes, the 27-year-old

award-winning singer stole the show with a searing live rendition of her chart-topping single, Hello.  

After taking a break from music, in which she lived a relatively secluded and sheltered life, the London-born star followed up her first performance of the smash-hit with an appearance in France.

Returning to the stage in the presence of fellow world-dominating pop stars: Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding, the Skyfall singer wowed crowds with a stripped-back but emotive set.

Taking to the stage in an all-black ensemble, the BRIT Award-winning artist looked perfectly at ease as she belted out her new single confidently - showcasing her amazing vocal skills.

With her strawberry blonde mane perfectly coiffed into long tumbling flicks, Adele channelled an understated look as she took to the stage in a fitted, shimmering black A-Line midi dress. 

Wearing a Giorgio Armani Privé black silk jacquard cocktail dress, which featured a lurex threaded plumage effect, the singer managed to channel a uniquely glamorous yet understated style.

Keeping her look simple and stripped-back, yet also glamorous, the chart-topping vocalist opted for an understated pallet of make-up, with only a flash of mascara and blusher highlighting her features. 

Eschewing the need for any dancers or pyrotechnics, Adele let her musical ability do all the talking on stage, as she sang Hello with only her backing band and a simple use lighting.

Although this is the first performance to be televised, the singer actually made her live-comeback on a brand new BBC special - yet to be aired. 

In a preview clip released earlier this week, the singer pre-recorded a performance for BBC Music, which shows her at her best, singing the song that has broken records and smashed the charts in recent weeks. 

Having traded her usual all-black look for something more festive, the stunning British musical phenomenon wows in a glittering khaki green and gold dress.

As ever, she sports a fierce feline-flicked eye and her blonde locks are coiffed to perfection.

Her overall demeanour is one at ease, clearly comfortable at being back in the spotlight and revealing new music for an all-new Adele, one who has grown up over the years since her last record in 2011, 21.
