ADELE'S HIT FOR SIX AT GRAMMYS

Her collection matched Beyonce for the most Grammy wins in a night by a female act, capping off what she described as a "life-changing" 12 months.

Prizes included Best Pop Vocal for 21, and Best Record and Best Single for Rolling In The Deep.

The occasion proved a little too much for the singer when she stepped up to accept her sixth award for Album of the Year, she joked: "I just first of all wanna say, 'Mum, girl did good!'

"Thank you so much. Thank you.

"This record is inspired by something that is really normal and everyone's been through it, which is a rubbish relationship."

The night marked Adele's return to centre stage after vocal chord surgery.

She received a lengthy standing ovation from her peers following her performance of smash hit Rolling In The Deep.

The singer was also turning heads with a new blonde-bombshell look.

Looking slim in a sophisticated black dress, she matched her glam hairdo with bright red lipstick.

I bet designer Karl Lagerfeld — who described her as "too fat" — will be choking on his branflakes when he sees this picture.
