Adele has paid tribute to one of Meryl Streep’s most beloved film roles — and it seems the actress approves!
During her Weekends with Adele residency in Las Vegas on Friday, Nov. 1, the singer, 36, made her way through the crowd at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace dressed as Madeline Ashton, Streep’s character from the 1992 film. Death becomes heras seen in a video shared online.
Wearing a silver jacket reminiscent of the one Streep, 75, wore as Ashton in the comedy/fantasy film, as well as a blonde wig and a large silver necklace, Adele sang her song “When We Were Young” but stopped when the star saw who is standing in the audience in front of her.
“Hello,” Adele said cheerfully as she bowed to the Oscar winner, who then returned the favor by bowing to the performer.
The pair then shared a sweet embrace, embracing each other as Adele continued to play the song from her 2015 album. 25. “I love you,” Streep also said between lines of the song.

Adele later explained in a post on X why the moment was so special to her, writing in part, “I’ve been performing in the Celine Dion room at the Colosseum for almost 2 years now. It was the only place I wanted to play in Vegas because it was made for her. I have a picture of her right next to the stage that I touch every night before I walk by and she came to the show this weekend and it was a surprise and it was a MOMENT!!”
Not long after, Dion herself paid tribute to the special moment the singers shared, writing to Adele in an Instagram post on Friday, Nov. 1, “Your performance was spectacular, your production was so beautiful. We loved seeing you and hearing you sing … it was such an emotional night for all of us.”
