March to your own beat in military green Givenchy like Adele
Adele has been on a high fashion blitz wearing perennial favorite Burberry, then Giambattista Valli, and then a Valentino gown for recent red carpets and performances. Next up on the hit list is Givenchy Haute Couture for her appearance at the Grammys.
As with all haute couture, the dress was custom made for Adele and has considerable variations from the version that was presented last year. Gone are the large spherical beads throughout the dress along with the peplem waist panels. And added are lace trimmed sleeves in the same olive green shade.
Adele's dress will run you upwards of $10k so we say, spend 1% of that on a lovely olive green gown (that we've selected below) and go on a glamorous holiday around the world with the remainder. Happy shopping!
Some berry lipstick and lashings of mascara completed her look.

But in recent years, more R&B and hip hop artists have been recognized in line with the commercial success of the music form. Drake and Beyonce, along with Adele, had three of the biggest selling albums worldwide of 2016.
When the nominations were announced in December Billboard said Grammy voters had 'recognized with their nominees this year what the rest of the music-listening world has long accepted: that both its commercial and critical center lies with pop, hip hop and R&B.'
However, singer-songwriter Frank Ocean is one artist snubbing the show this year and did not submit his latest album Blonde for Grammys consideration.

According to a source Bieber is said to believe that the annual event is no longer 'relevant or representative especially when it comes to young singers'.
TV personalities: E! hosts Brad Goreski and Kris Jenner took a break from their duties to pose on the red carpet
Drake also has eight nominations but is in England and set to perform in Manchester on Sunday.
Drake and Rihanna share three of their eight individual nominations, two for their steamy duet on Rihanna's sultry Work and one for Rihanna as a featured artist on Drake's Views.

Prince and George Michael will be honored on Sunday with separate tributes, but organizers have not revealed which stars will perform them.
Recording Academy President Neil Portnow said Purple Rain singer Prince, and British star Michael, who both died suddenly in 2016, were 'pop icons who showcased rare musical genius and otherworldly charisma.'
'The passings of two such creative innovators were a huge loss for the creative community; The Recording Academy is humbled to pay homage to their tremendous legacies on the Grammy stage,' Portnow added in a statement.
Prince, a seven-times Grammy winner, was found dead at his Minneapolis studio complex in April. An autopsy revealed the 57 year-old died of an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl.
Not bad: The mom of Kim Kardashian seemed to fit right in
Michael, 53, known for songs like Last Christmas and Freedom, was found dead at his British home on Christmas Day. The double Grammy winner's manager said the singer died of heart failure, but the official cause is still being investigated.
David Bowie, who died in January 2016, was honored at last year's Grammys in a tribute performed by Lady Gaga.
Bowie's final release, Blackstar, is competing for four Grammys at the awards show in Los Angeles on Sunday, including best alternative album.
