Adele had made a habit of strolling out amongst her fans and saying hello during her Weekends With Adele residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. But over the weekend it wasn’t her OB-GYN in the crowd who caught her eye, or a couple looking for help with a gender reveal or a tribute to late Friends star Matthew Perry that made headlines, but instead a little girl who came dressed in her best Adele.
A mom named Alexandra posted an adorable video on her Instagram on Sunday in which she chronicled the once-in-a-lifetime moment when the singer took a pause during “When We Were Young” to give a little girl named Valentina some special attention. As it turns out, Valentina was wearing a dress that looked a lot like a classic Adele ensemble and it did not go unnoticed.
“Adele stopped to meet ‘mini Adele,’” Arguello wrote. “Needless to say Valentina and I had our dream come true! Unforgettable night with my little love.” In the heart meltingly cute video accompanying the post, Adele makes her way through the crowd in the venue while singing “When We Were Young” as Valentina — wearing a black dress with a giant white bow across the shoulders — waits patiently for the singer to make her way to her row.
When Adele spots her tiny double she makes a super surprised face and gives Valentina a special smile as she bends down to sing, “You look like a movie/ You sound like a song,” breaking character for a few moments to have a chat. “Hi… I love your dress,” Adele says as she continues singing in between the small talk. She then does the ultimate fan service by asking Valentina to spin around so someone can snap a proper selfie of them.
In another video, Arguello thanked her grandmother for sewing a shrunk-down version of the custom black-and-white Schiaparelli gown that Adele wore to Lakers star Anthony Davis wedding in 2021 in less than 48 hours before the Vegas show.
Saturday night’s show was the last one on Adele’s Vegas calendar for a while. The singer is not slated to return to the Colosseum stage until October 25. In between, she is booked to play a string of shows in Munich, Germany in a specially built 80,000-capacity venue on August 2, 3, 9, 10, 14, 16, 23, 24, 30 and 31.
