Adele has been quiet on social media over the last few months, with her last Instagram upload dating back 23 December 2019 - until now.
The Hello hitmaker marked her 32nd birthday in quarantine with a celebratory post on the photo-sharing site on May 6, which saw her beaming with happiness as she stood behind a floral wreath in her garden.
The 32-year-old singer wore a black £595 Elzinga dress.
The designer garment was made from silk organza, boasting high neck detail, long puff sleeves and buttons on the side.

The sartorial choice attracted a lot of attention and by Wednesday afternoon the dress was sold out on both Matches Fashion and Elzinga’s website.
In just a few hours the birthday post racked up over two million likes, and fans, as well as celebrity friends, flooded the star with well wishes.
Chrissy Teigen commented: “I mean are you kidding me”, while Burberry designer, Riccardo Tisci, wrote: “Happy birthday beautiful.”
