Adele Hugs Meryl Streep At Las Vegas Concert While Dressed As Her ‘Death Becomes Her’ Character

Adele rocked a spot-on 'Death Becomes Her' costume in homage to Meryl Streep, with whom she shared a loving embrace at her Las Vegas residency show.

In a video captured of the sweet moment, the powerhouse singer-songwriter momentarily paused singing the lyrics to “When We Were Young” to greet Streep, who originated the vain has-been actress character of Madeline Ashton in Robert Zemeckis’ 1992 cult classic. In one of the pictures shared to social media, eagle-eyed viewers can spot a replica of the magic potion Streep and Goldie Hawn’s characters drink in a bid for eternal youth in the fantasy-comedy film. The two shared a tearful embrace during her show, and Adele took to Instagram afterward to pen an emotional message about what it meant to her to perform in the venue, which was specially built for Dion’s own residency two decades prior.
