Adele Celebrated Halloween With a Bloody French Manicure and Jet Black Hair

There is one aesthetic Adele is known for above all else—timeless glamour. It's a look that has followed her through her entire career across countless album covers, red-carpet appearances, and performances. An aesthetic she isn't known for? Vampy goth realness. 

However, as Halloween and luck would have it, that is exactly what she served up at Weekend 33 of her Las Vegas residency, bringing her witchiest self to the stage with a brand-new hairstyle and scarily realistic nails.

On October 29, the superstar posted an Instagram carousel showing off her spooky makeover where she sang on stage in a full Morticia Adams ensemble that could have easily been a snapshot from Netflix's Wednesday.

Though the entire look was on par with the character (and gorgeous), we couldn't stop staring at her gory talons. Done by her go-to manicurist, Zola Ganzorgit, her nails looked as if they were dipped in blood. Almost as if she dug her hand into someone's body and ripped out their heart, the tips of her nails were the darkest, bloodiest part. The black cherry color flowed from highly concentrated to nothing at all, trickling down with wisps of color as it got lighter and lighter until it faded to beige. 

The gothy glam continued to her hair and makeup, which truly transformed her to be nearly unrecognizable. Adele's hair, which, as you probably remember, is usually bright golden blonde, but this weekend she wore a dark black wig that traveled all the way down to her waist. Instead of her usual volume or glam updo, the hair was pin straight from roots to ends, and actually looked like it was growing from her head.

Underneath her long dark locks was a full Morticia makeup look. Adele's skin was paper white to reflect that risen-from-the-dead complexion. Makeup artist Anthony H Nguyen applied a dark brown contour to her cheekbones to add dimension. Her undereyes were lighter than the rest of her face, which added even more of a contrast against her sharp black eye look, which included a precise cat eye. On top of this, she had a white shimmery shadow that transitioned into a cool-toned gray. There was a noticeable lack of blush (which makes sense for the character), and her lips were lined in dark gray and filled in with a lighter grayish brown.

Of course, she couldn't be Morticia Adams without an all-black outfit. Hers was a floor-length black velour gown, which almost fits into her everyday wardrobe save for the pointy raised shoulders and attached fishnet gloves. Large opulent gothic rings finished off the look.
