'Criticism mounts on Adele from Instagram users for wearing Russian couture'

The pop star wore an outfit from the Valentin Yudashkin fashion house for a performance in Las Vegas

Social media users have hit out at pop star Adele after she wore a dress designed by Russian fashion house Valentin Yudashkin at a concert in Las Vegas.

The dress, which featured a full skirt and form-fitting bodice, overlaid with black chiffon and hand-embroidered with flowers, was created under the guidance of Galina Yudashkina, daughter of the revered late Russian designer Valentin Yudashkin.

The singer posted several pictures from the concert on her Instagram page within hours of the concert, earning compliments from many fans who described her as looking “gorgeous.”

However, the tone of the reaction changed after the Russian origin of the outfit was revealed. The comments section was flooded with hate-speech and threats as Adele was accused of supporting Russia in its “bloody, illegal and genocidal war on Ukraine.”

It's not just a poor choice, it's a deep shame.How could you choose to wear a dress from a russian designer who created uniforms for russian army, which is killing Ukrainians right now? Disgrace. pic.twitter.com/2TKeDysRru
