In celebration of her 32nd birthday, Grammy award-winner and all-round amazing human Adele broke her silence on Instagram after five months, posting a photo of herself in a black mini dress.

The singer thanked all her fans for the “birthday love” and sent her well-wishes to everyone during “this crazy time”. She also thanked “all of our first responders and essential workers who are keeping us safe”.

However, what the 32-year-old probably won’t have anticipated is the huge body image debate the photo, and the comments surrounding her photo, has sparked.

While many flocked to the comments congratulating the singer on her weight loss — she’s rumoured to have lost around 45kg — others have expressed greatly different views.

Adele became a trending topic on Twitter on Wednesday, where many flocked to criticize those who where praising the star for her slimmer frame and her “glow-up”.

Many pointed out the Hello singer looked great both before and after her weight loss, which is 100 per cent true.

However, many argued that while, of course, she’s always been beautiful whatever size, but it is an “incredible achievement” to lose weight, and should also be celebrated.

At the end of the day the only thing that matters is Adele’s happiness, and as long as the iconic singer is happy (and brings out new music ASAP!), we’re happy.
