Dazzle in an embellished Burberry dress like Adele

Adele’s partner of five years proved that romance isn’t dead, literally showering her with hand written love notes on the Nashville leg of her tour. Talk about cute overload!
Adele dazzled on the night, wearing her custom Burberry floor sweeping gown she’s been rocking throughout the tour.
This one of a kind creation was inspired by a sequinned mini from the Pre-Fall '16 collection and was made into a more dramatic gown for the diva. It's embellished with an array of multicoloured crystals which really adds to the wow factor; meanwhile the nipped in waist and billowing skirt is super flattering.
Unfortunately you can't buy this custom made creation, but click (right) to buy the ready-to-wear version. If you've got almost five thousand pounds burning a hole in your pocket, that is...
Want to recreate the look for your next big occasion? See below for an array of glittering alternatives, including this breath taking number by another of Adele's go-to labels, Jenny Packham.

'I’m starting to get very emotional about it because I feel like once they turn four, they’re not really your actual baby anymore.
'So my womb is starting to ache a little bit. It’s like, "Baby, baby, baby. Need a baby, need a baby". I’m not pregnant. I won’t get pregnant until the end of the tour.'
It was only back in July that she claimed she could not see herself becoming a mother again anytime soon. 
She told a packed crowd in Minnesota: 'I don’t think I can have another child. I mean, I can. But I don’t think I want two.' 
Happy time: Adele and her long-term partner Simon  are already parents to Angelo, three

Adele is due to finish her 107 date world tour in November.
And after taking her music global, it's believed she will be taking a ten-year hiatus from touring in order to spend time with her son.
The Sun previously reports that the Hello hitmaker has made the decision in light of the fact her three-year-old son with Simon Konecki will start school next year and will be unable to join her on the road - but she is said to be considering a Las Vegas residency. 
A source told the newspaper: 'Angelo is the number one priority for Adele. He is the most important thing in her life.
She's making big plans: Adele is due to finish her 107 date world tour in November and she said she won't try to get pregnant until then

'Adele doesn’t want to miss a moment of Angelo growing up and it’s an easy decision for her to give up touring for him.'
They added: 'A regular Vegas show appeals to her because it is in one place and she would be able to maintain a normal life, but it won’t happen for a number of years.' 
Earlier this year, Adele spoke about motherhood to Graham Norton and said:'It's changed me completely, in every single way possible and something much bigger than myself happened, and I had been craving that without realising.
'I was always yearning for something and I never knew what it was.'

She continued, of her three-year-old boy: 'He makes me realise everything about myself that I like and I don't like.'
Adele, who rarely speaks so openly about her child and long-term boyfriend and her son's father Simon Konecki, also confessed that she understands things will be very different for him as he grows up.
'I think we [Simon and I] are doing a great job and I think we will do a great job. I'm very conscious of how much my life has changed and how much his childhood will be different to mine, but I haven't changed.'
This year, Adele was named Britain's richest ever female musician - but is one of only three solo women to make it onto a new list of the top 50 wealthiest pop stars in the British Isles.
The Hello singer is estimated to be worth £85 million, £35 million up from a year ago, putting her in 30th place on the Music Millionaires Top 50 list from The Sunday Times.
She is also ranked at the top of the Young Music Rich List of performers aged 30 and under this year.

Whistlestop tour The Louvre’s website allows you to do what everyone secretly wishes they could do – to pull Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Mona Lisa off the wall. Not to steal it, of course, although that did happen back in 1911, besides which she is now firmly ensconced behind thick, bullet-proof glass and phalanxes of gawping tourists. No, here you can get up close and even flip the picture to look at the back, to see how this humble plank of poplar wood has been maintained over the 500 years since it was first painted. 
TOP TIP Explore the reclining beauty that is La Grande Odalisque, painted by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres in 1814. It’s one of many works by the artist at the Louvre, and is carefully dissected here so that you can understand why he made her naked form so elegantly elongated.
