Karl Lagerfeld: Adele is Little Too Fat!

Karl Lagerfeld is famous for many things, including his presumptuous comments — but his latest statement, regarding Adele, was totally extraordinary even for such fashionista he is. If Karl wanted to compliment Adele, he should have kept his opinion about her curves to himself, it’s rude after all! Luckily for Adele, she doesn’t need Karl by her side — she has a prospering career and a Vogue cover on the way.

So, Chanel’s creative director told Metro:

The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.”

While I think Karl was totally out of borders, he didn’t stop there. In the interview, he also addressed M.I.A. and the middle finger incident at the Super Bowl, saying:

Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly – it’s not the best behavior. Everybody does that, what’s new about that? It’s just become a bad habit. People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women.”

Huh, here i absolutely agree with him. I guess M.I.A. shouldn’t have done it.

Karl went on to talk about the ‘very ugly’ men in Russia.

If I was a woman in Russia I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly. There are a few handsome ones, like Naomi Campbell’s boyfriend, but there you see the most beautiful women and the most horrible men.”

This one made me laugh so much! Maybe Karl was so unlucky to see any ‘handsome’ men? Anyway, I have many friends in Moscow, they all are so cute!!!

Speaking to Metro, the 78-year-old discussed what he thought about new singing sensation Lana Del Rey, before going on to spill all about his opinions on Adele. He said:

Lana del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She’s not alone with implants.”

I guess the Chanel honcho’s comments will be met with controversy as Adele has often spoken freely about her overweight.

But the Rolling In The Deep hitmaker is adamant she’s happy to embrace her fuller figure no matter what the view of people like Karl.

She has said in the past:

I enjoy being me; I always have done. I’ve seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I just don’t want that in my life.”

By the way, Karl was plump too! Why did he forget times when he was also a little too fat???

   I dont think he was being judgemental.

   im overweight and while i do not think that being a modelesque size 0 is my goal in life, i would like to shed a little of the bulk and be more proportionate.
   I think he meant that since Adele is really very good looking and has confidence, grace and style, but with a little less of her bulk(i dont mean being thin) she would get more points for looks. it wont make her singing any better of course.
   If i were her i would not get too defensive about it and just appreciate the compliment.
   And regarding him being overweight in his past, he evidently found a need to lose it all.

   All in all, he seems honest and not in a very hurtful way.

   I find Adele very inspiring.
