Singing superstar Adele has sparked a social media backlash with her latest near-unrecognisable Instagram post.
The photo shows the star as fans have never seen her before: clad in a Jamaican flag bikini top, a feathered embellishment on her shoulders and with her hair curled into tight knots.
"Happy what would be Notting Hill Carnival my beloved London," she captioned the pic, a nod to London's huge annual carnival led by members of the British West Indian community, which has been cancelled this year.
But the 32-year-old star's choice of attire — and especially a Bantu knot hairstyle usually worn by women of African descent — has copped a roasting online, amid accusations of cultural appropriation.
