The pair dressed up together for a past costume party, and Dockrill resurrected the image for Adele’s birthday, showing off the singer’s silly side. Completing the costume with the aviator shades and classic scruff that George Michael wore for his 1987 album ‘Faith,’ Adele dedicated herself to the role, even trying on a golden highlighted wig for size. The songstress’ friend Laura Dockrill captioned the picture, “Make sure you BFF with someone that also goes to fancy dress parties not dressed as a sexy cat. Fulfil the brief. Nail the assignment. (Flat shoes for life) I love you so much @adele happy birthday x” Dockrill was dressed as the iconic Michael Keaton character Beetlejuice as the perfect partner in crime.

Adele has always been fond of dressing up, sharing an image of herself as June Carter Cash in January 2019, and another dressed as Dolly Parton in 2018. It seems that while the singer has created her own impressive career, she enjoys shape shifting into other famous performers from time to time to keep fans guessing. Back in 2017 for her 29th birthday, the singer shared an image to Instagram dressed as an old woman, looking completely unrecognizable once again. Ringing in 30 she dressed as Kate Winslet’s Rose in Titanic, complete with a curly wig and sparkling gown. We wonder who she’ll dress as next year!
