I can't deny the possibility that the weight-loss compliments might feel good to Adele, because they used to feel good to me.
Part of the difficulty in metabolizing the media's treatment of Adele's weight loss is, of course, the hypocrisy of it all. This is a woman who was, a woman we were told to admire and emulate at her heavier weight: so why, now, does it feel like everyone was just waiting for her to shed those pesky pounds so they could slot her in the "conventionally attractive" box?
Let's be clear: the fault doesn't lie with Adele, who can—and should—post as many slimmed-down selfies as she wants to. There's absolutely nothing wrong with celebrating a weight-loss milestone, but the onus is on us not to fetishize that weight loss as either a moral imperative or an aesthetic level-up.
Absolutely absolutely
If it’s not your business, why are you writing an article on it and sharing with the world?!
Hey Emma.. the comments you quoted just said that she looked great.. no one made an issue of the weight except you..
Magnifique Adèle
Except that losing weight will likely stop Adele catching serious covid far better than any CovidVaccine ever could.
Because we are a nation of easily offended people now…even at a compliment.
Hadn’t noticed until this article. Are hair styles or color acceptable topic?
Only to me it sounds like.... BS?
She is right! Her buisness no one elses.
Yea....just tell em they look great
I totally agree! I never noticed her weight only her amazing voice! Beauty is something we all have no matter our size or shape. It’s bigger than your body, it’s in your soul. The trick is to see that yourself! I do! ❤️
Hello, it's me!
Telling an older person they look good for their age can hurt, telling a young person they are mature for their age and now complimenting weight loss. So moral of the story.. just don't compliment anyone because humans are apparently oversensitive.
True! in 2015 i lost 75 pounds over a period of a year ...and 2 of my friends wrote to me almost every day « i looked happier ect.. »😏it’s sad when you are fat you no longer exist even if your body exists too much for certain eyes and when you are thinning people admire you
..when a fat person loses weight.....be sure that they want to be noticed and complimented.....
If someone distorts a sincere complement as something negative, then they can just fuck off.
Adele, you have never looked better.. your desire to get fit and live a healthier life is an inspiration to many, including myself. Thanks.
If it's nobody's business then why do you go out of the way to write an article about it. This article is actually counter-intuitive. STOP USING ADELES WEIGHLOSS FOR CLICKS

I think it also depends on how well you know them, and how hard they worked and what offends them. But this is also a really good point I have never thought of!!
If you’re upset about someone complimenting your hard work and dedication you got issues not them
I get it but she has been posing and showing off her weight loss so commenting is fine in my opinion.
I think people see weight loss compliments as actual compliments. It’s for encouragement.
Oh for goodness sake. Bigger fish to fry in the world at the moment, than people being upset others have noticed their weight loss. People will cry over anything these days.
Splendid ...
Are you fans of regaining self confidence not just Ryan Seacrest
So why did you post this article a few times already ?!
Do I really care about this no
She’s fantastic both ways!
I did 5 Hours on our elliptical machine today... anyone says I’m dropping some bad calories in a hurry. Getting into fighting shape so I am better able to look the part of a hot shot fashion photographer. 😝 SonyA7s 📸 me
Not acknowledging the achievements of an individual who seems them as such is also hurtful?
I am so here for this headline 👌🏽❤️
She is beautiful ♥️

I think Adele looks great!!!!
Great choice for fast weight loss. Losing weight has never been this easy Contact me for details👇👇 Hassankonafa9gmail.com
She looks great honestly
Obesity is the real epidemic.
Great article. I have been trying to understand why when women (only women!) who gain weight at different times in their lives they are treated with hostility as if they were a scourge on society. Fat men aren’t treated that way though.
If it’s no one’s business but hers, why have you published ANOTHER piece about it?
Why keep pushing it down our throats
This is newest invention?
Adele has always been beautiful ❤️ she has never needed to loose weight to be beautiful. She’s just inspiring. Her fans will always have good intentions when complementing her. I hope this means we’ll get new music perhaps😏
Ikr / You look in the mirror Err day , You don’t need anyone to tell you , how you look : When done that person is a mean bully
Hi I've found a way to lose weight after giving birth
I know it’s probably healthier for her to lose the excess weight but I just want to say she looks beautiful then and now.
RivieraEster 'wow you look great, you've lost so much weight, and you look very healthy too.' 'my weight loss is nobody's business but my own.' i mean yeah, but you're also kinda being a ____.
Looking great
Remove this. Vogue is the worst.
جمال ايدل بالسمن وبالضعف 🤩❤
Why I love her fir her talent not her ability to lose weight . She was already beautiful and talented.
Congrats loosing all excess wt you were carrying. You look good, younger, and healthy. don’t take this comment as a negative. People who care about you will congrats you. Keep it up, remember loosing wilt is easy but keeping very hard. Good job!!
She was much better plus size!!! She looks like a total DRUGGIE now! Like how much cocaine or meth did the bitch do to look like she does cocaine and meth SHE IS NOT PRETTY SKINNY!!! She’s also no longer my plus size role model! Smh 🤦🏻♀️
I feel compliments whenever given with the right intention can actually make someone's day. Imagine a person trying to lose weight since months, and you acknowledge his/her efforts by complementing, that would give more motivation to the other person.
Whata waste of article space. There is a risk with anything that what you say can hurt. But if you know the person, or can easily see the intention behind their actions, compliment them. If you are triggered or hurt by some elses positive life changes you need professional help.
SOOOOOOO TRUE!!!! 👍
Wordss
wafijoe This answer is simple... It's nobody's business‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I found the early '90s 'are you intending to lose weight' (or some variation of) precursor still viable. 😉 It's much like asking a woman if she's pregnant.
Oh my god this is the stupidest title I have read today, it's insulting giving compliments now? get out of here.
La verdad es que no hacia falta compartir esta noticia,solo contestar a quien os lo pregunten o la critiquen. Pero ya que habeis puesto la noticia lo peor es engañar al publico todas las que dicen que siguen una dieta magica la hacen despues de una magica cirugia.
Totally agree. Brilliantly written
Say who Please I need some of those weight recipes
yes yes yes TREASURE IS COMING BACK EKP_bestmalerookies_Treasure treasuremembers TREASURE 트레저
LePrinceMarron lo que te decía el otro día, este es mi POV
It’s borderline insulting to be honest. I lost 150 pounds. The comments and the reaction has been at tone deaf and offensive.
STOP commenting on someone's weight, period.
I also lost weight and gained it all back and then some. Seeing the differences in how people talked about my appearance left and impact on me. This article is really well put. Thank you for sharing something lots of us heavier people feel.
I really wonder if y’all actually read the article?
She’s just HOT. No matter what. Talented & beautiful.
Delete this
Literally no one feels this way
So, complimenting someone for an accomplishment may hurt their feelings when they “inevitably” lose it? Your right. I won’t tell my friend his new sweater is good looking because he’ll be sad when he wears a different one and I don’t compliment it.
delete this.
Yet you made a whole damn post and article. 🤔🤭🤔
If shes been trying hard. Fuck you I'm gonna tell her she looks amazing. Adele's weightloss was a shock because she never seemed insecure about it and it was so dramatic. We're gonna ask but if she tells us STFU then we will. But if my girl is working hard I salute that
Ok
Oh shit, I do that. I’m on a fitness journey myself and try and recognize how much hard work it is to change your habits and see results.
I think her issue was when people started to give her unsolicited advice that she was losing too much weight. I had a similar experience of people telling me I was getting too skinny and it was hurtful. Can’t we just compliment without weight comments?
You want to get it wrong. Why is it wrong to be excited and happy for her? Is it healthier for her? Yes! Her commitment is admirable, it’s not the approval, it’s the support! I respect the commitment to any goal you set for yourself and make concious decisions to make it happen!

She Looks beautiful in that photo!
I’m happy to see that Adele is living a healthier lifestyle. I’d love to hear more from her about what motivated her and what she’s doing differently. I think that’s inspiring.
It can hurt..? Vogue is trash. She looks great. And yes, it’s literally no ones business: so stop talking about it
Quit whining
Adele has been a stunner since the first time I saw her and still is.
YES VOGUE PREACH TO THE MASSES
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Finally, someone showed up to work today at Condé Nast
wow good job she looks so beautiful
Then why are you talking about it?
Very true!
Yea ppl need to stop being so damn noisy
Hmmmm🤔
Gorgeous👍😘
So maybe stop writing articles about it?
Noticing a person's beauty ,just because she lost some weight, that ain't cool period.!
That'u think she knows Guys dive for PATLO - - - ?
I think sometimes people forget that weight-loss isn't always intentional (addiction, illness, stress etc) or done through healthy channels. One thing I always found as insulted compliment when I lost weight was 'you look so good now'. So, was I a monster before?
And that’s on Periodt
I agree 💯
You're all delusional. This is the price of being in the public eye. People will never stop having opinions. Of course it would be nice if we were all respectful.
I get it!
you are vogue magazine right....
she was ALWAYS so beautiful, but now people are only noticing just because she's skinnier? something about that doesn't sit right with me.
It’s her life it’s her choice. We should respect her choice n happy for her . It’s none of our business to point finger at somebody’s life . Let’s all live in peace harmony and love 😁😍
Except some weight loss does deserve respect and admiration. By your logic, we should stop congratulating anyone who achieves anything because they might become unhealthily obsessed.
I truly I believe she went under the knife and if you do not believe in you just as stupid as Donald Trump Monique the comedian she works out very hard and look at her weight loss accomplish I can't say the same for Adele I think she had weight loss surgery & she look old
I think it would better if we all respect another ones privacy. A celebrity. A singer. A songwriter. A person. An individual. A human being. It’s not right that magazines stash another person’s business in to our face! Maybe when the person ready,they will share...
Absolutely 🌷
It goes for everyone. Mind your own damn business.
Irony alert.
I agree weightloss is nobody's business but your own.....but the journey is something worth sharing...I would like to share my personal weightloss journey and still going strong from 135kgs to 104kgs and counting.....Adele
Exactly!!!! She was perfect before and she’s perfect now and she’s perfect whenever she’s happy 🌸
I agree 💯 on Adele - she is amazingly stunningly beautiful always.
Its_Tobit Really need a why for that?
Facts 👌🏿❤👇🏿 just talked about this Adele
Why are you writing about it then? I didn't even notice
But you're still gonna write about it
Stfu vogue.
Then why are you tweeting about it?
I truly sympathize with all the overweight drag impersonators who will now be restricted to the 'Old Adele' persona (kinda like Rockabilly Elvis turned into Vegas Elvis).
DenolaGrey She looks sexy now.. Drake took an L
The minute she gains a pound you'll be all over it so remember this
The irony of you writing a whole story on it
OMG, my mother was right! People will ALWAYS have something to say. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, folks! 👏Leave 👏her 👏alone!
Throughout my teen years your magazine was prolific for body shaming female celebrities. Either you’ve realised how damaging you were being and have changed or this is a disgusting piece of self promotion. Hope it’s the first.
you’ll never stop treating women like hangers. you’ll never respect women. our society just needs to purge you.
Well hello from the other side Adele. I hope she's happy.
What about the Vogue's readers and the supermodels weight? What Vogue have to say about that?
If she worked hard to achieve this goal of hers, why can’t we be happy for her?
Que linda mi Adele....
Seems like fatties are jealous
Convient timing. If only you felt the same about our Jess’ boobs
Why is this a discussion at all? and why does it always use the word weight and not the word health? This article is trying to be positive, but then talks about dramatic weight loss in terms of validation. Maybe she just decided to eat better and exercise for herself and her son?
Obesity is unhealthy.
Está riquísima!
'This celebrity's weight is her own business. But we're going to cover it thoroughly and (quite literally) make it our own business.'
Then don't write an article about it.
Hilarious coming from VOGUE y r kidding me right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 when is the last time you had a spread with Girls that were not sample size and don't say Oprah Michelle O Serena or Adele - they are next level even Oprah said u made her lose weight b who u r - size-ists
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Doesn't this article like contradict that statement though?
What fans of this lovely, incredibly talented woman could celebrate, is that by losing weight she has fine-tuned her health & longevity. Seeing a woman looking happy & well is a gift all of us can celebrate. Happy🎂 birthday to Adele, whose beautiful voice always touches our 💕.
Now she looks like 'the others!' 😩
Might I suggest to those slamming Vogue for writing about this actually read the article? My favorite: 'There is no amount of weight you can lose or gain that will make you more or less deserving of love, respect, or kindness.'
Adele’s been beautiful. Y’all are just showing your true colors
It's nobody business but our own business. 💛
If it was no one elses business you wouldn’t be reporting g on it and it wouldn’t be on the net.
Terrible wording.. Trying to be funny but it's just not.. Insulting to fuck..
I don’t get why people are getting triggered over this. You can lose weight and be complemented. It’s no different than being overweight and not getting shunned for it. People getting triggered over people complimenting her weight loss are ridiculous
But she’s in the public eye. Her weight loss is so dramatic that you can’t expect people not to comment, surely.
Adele starved herself to impress millions of strangers
So we’re not allowed to praise Adele for her achievement or be happy she is healthy &beat a disease that made her at risk for heart disease, diabetes & other related health issues? No, instead we praise people like Tess Holiday, call her brave for being obese & unhealthy.
I think she is beautiful! I dont care what her weight is. She showed the world how beautiful and strong regular females are. Most Women don't look like me and why should they. I am slim because I have an over active metabolism at 30. Wish I could gain more weight. Be you lady!
Yet ppl are allowed to comment it. Especially since your magazine comments on people’s bodies constantly
She’s talented so who cares what she weighs and even if she wasn’t who cares what she weighs
That's a nice thought and all but the phrasing of that tidbit is still describing weight loss as positive. Triggering your readers' insecurities while trying to portray the opposite is how magazines like yours are nothing more than effective mercenaries
“So here’s an entire article dedicated to her weight”
Then why write about it?
I had seen Adele trending and immediately got excited because I thought 'New music!' but was disappointed to see it was a discussion about her weight instead with a bunch of people implying she wasn't beautiful before the loss. It's sad really.
So stop writing about everyone else’s then 🙄..
