Adele Sparks Engagement Speculation with a Massive Diamond Ring at the BRIT Awards

Adele dazzled everyone at the BRIT Awards on Thursday with not only her performance, but the gorgeous diamonds she was wearing on the red carpet.

The superstar songstress, who took home the BRIT for Song of the Year for her megahit "Easy On Me," made jaws drop with her custom velvet Armani Privé gown featuring a shimmering, dotted tulle neckline and train.

She paired the look, styled by Jamie Mizrahi (who has been working closely with the icon on her 30 album press tour), with glittering Lorraine Schwartz drop diamond earrings and a huge pear shaped diamond ring worn on her left hand right above her "Paradise" tattoo.

The small meteor sitting pretty on her ring finger led to a lot of fan buzz on social media, with many speculating that the singer is possibly revealing that she's engaged to her sports agent boyfriend Rich Paul. A rep for celeb-loved jeweler Lorraine Schwartz confirms Adele is wearing a ring from the designer's collection.

Adele went Instagram official with Paul in September, the same month a source told PEOPLE the pair were "getting more serious."

Thursday's red carpet marks Adele's return to the BRIT awards after a 5-year hiatus, and her first public appearance since abruptly cancelling Weekends with Adele, her Las Vegas residency.

But the singer was in good spirits at her BRITs homecoming, and even joked with reporters on the carpet that she was excited to get McDonald's after the show. She, of course, also picked up a few awards.

"First of all, I didn't realize there were that many songs nominated, I can't believe that a piano ballad won up against that many bangers," she said during her acceptance speech for Song of the Year, taking home the trophy for "Easy on Me." "Thank you so much. It's always a pleasure to be here. I always love coming home. The BRITs are such such a big part of my career from way back when when I was a little fetus."

The singer announced in late January that she would be postponing her Las Vegas residency originally scheduled to run from Jan. 21 to April 16. She took to Instagram to share the upsetting news, and apologized to her fans after explaining that her team has been "up against so much," including all the restrictions COVID causes.

The news of her residency, which was set to be held at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, followed the release of her fourth studio album, 30.

On Feb. 1, however, she confirmed that her performance at the BRIT Awards was still on, sharing in a more upbeat Instagram post that she was "really happy" to be taking the stage.

She also used the post to confirm that she and Paul, who have been dating since last spring, are still very much together, despite rumors that their relationship was on the rocks.

"Rich sends his love," Adele cheekily ended her Instagram caption, alongside a photo of herself holding up a hearts playing card.
