Singer Adele wore black for her turn on the Oscars red carpet, but there was nothing basic about her choice of gown.  Her elegant, beaded dress with three-quarter sleeves was designed by Jenny Packham.  It was the perfect dress for a winner, and win she did:  Adele took the Best Original Song Oscar for her song “Skyfall,” from the movie of the same name.  Well played!

I can’t think of anything more appropriate to wear to a 007 event than a classic tuxedo.  Skyfall‘s male cast members – Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes – did not disappoint at the movie’s world premiere last night at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Skyfall is the 23rd film in the James Bond franchise.   Daniel Craig stars in his third turn as Bond, opposite Javier Bardem’s villain, cyberterrorist Raul Silva. Its title song, “Skyfall,” was performed and co-written by Adele; the track skyrocketed to the number one spot in iTunes’ UK store just ten hours after it was released on October 5.

Adele is rolling in the joy!  British newspapers are reporting that the singer has given birth to her first child, a baby boy.  Sources say that she and her partner, Simon Konecki, are “ecstatic at their new arrival,” who was born last week.

The Daily Mail, however, notes that Adele’s spokesperson declined to provide any comment on the story.

Adele and Konecki, who is the founder of the environmental charity Life Water, began dating in January 2012, and she announced her pregnancy in June.   He has one other child, a daughter, from his previous marriage to stylist Clary Fisher.

Congratulations to the family!
