The viral photo was posted by designer and art director Hey Reilly, who is known for editing images to turn them into fashionable memes.

One quick scroll through @hey_reilly’s iconic, edited Instagram images of celebrities, public figures, and even royal family members seems to prove Adele hasn’t really shaved off her hair.

Adele split from husband Simon Kinecki last year, and for months its been rumoured the mum-of-one will soon be returning to music with her first album since her 2015 EP ’25’.

In February this year Adele was heard saying at a friend’s wedding party her album would be “coming in September”.

And last week the singer’s makeup artist further fuelled the comeback rumours.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Michael Ashton shared a picture of the 15-time Grammy Award winner doing her makeup in the mirror while seemingly on FaceTime to him in what looks like preparation for a photo shoot.

He wrote alongside it: “BTW… exciting news coming soon!! “Get ready to get on board.”

Two days later the picture of Adele with her supposed new ‘do emerged on Instagram and fans weren’t sure what to think.

“This can’t be real, really suits her though,” one fan commented, as another replied: “A KStew [Kristen Stewart] Barnett looks good on her!”
