Adele Celebrates Her First Emmy Win With a Makeup-Free Selfie
Adele is only one award away from being an EGOT winner.
The global superstar received her first Emmy Award this Saturday, winning the Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) category for her CBS special Adele: One Night Only. She has now one an Emmy, several Grammys, and an Oscar for Best Original Song for her Bond theme "Skyfall."
Though Adele didn’t attend the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony in person, the “Easy on Me” singer celebrated on social media, posting a makeup-free selfie with her new trophy.
"Bloody hell I’m pleased as punch! Thank you @mrbenwinston for dropping this round to me this afternoon!! Trust me to officially have an EGO 🤣," she wrote in the caption.
"Thank you so much @televisionacad , I’m so so honored to receive this. Big up to everyone involved. @griffithobservatory thank you for letting me sing up on your mountain and big love to all the other nominees x," she continued.
The award-winning television special included the singer's first live performance in six years, filmed at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. It also included an extended interview with Oprah Winfrey, and was the most-watched special since the Oscars as of its airing last November.
The 30 singer is now only a Tony Award away from joining the elite group of artists who won all four of the entertainment industry's biggest awards. There are only 17 EGOT winners, including West Side Story's Rita Moreno, Whoopi Goldberg, John Legend, and Jennifer Hudson, who won a Tony in June for producing the musical A Strange Loop.
The singer also skipped the VMAs this year, as the famously-private artist is likely preparing for her rescheduled Las Vegas residency, which will start in November. She was recently spotted enjoying a romantic Italian getaway with her boyfriend, NBA agent Rich Paul, last July.
