On her 32nd birthday, Adele's friend shared a never-before-seen photo of the star.
Adele broke the internet on Wednesday, when she finally returned to Instagram after months away from the spotlight.
Celebrating her 32nd birthday, the singer shared a photo outside her home as she thanked key workers for all their hard work during the coronavirus pandemic.
And now Adele’s best pal Lauren Paul has shared another new snap of the birthday girl from a girls trip to Las Vegas last year.
The post sees Adele at the front leaning on a door, wearing her hair tied back in a bun and accessorising with gold hoop earrings.

Fashion designer Nicole Richie also features in the photo, along with Lauren and writer Jedidiah Jenkins.
The sweet tribute is captioned: “Happy birthday angel babe @Adele. You came into my life a few months before I had Story and you quickly became one of the most important figures in my journey as a new mother.
"You have taught me so much. You glow because your heart is full. I'm so proud of the human you are. Wish we were reliving this Vegas sleepover."
Lauren went on to share another throwback picture of the pair cuddling in the sunshine, as she added: “You’re such a good friend.”
It came after Adele posted a rare new photo on Wednesday morning.
