Adele Debuts Post-Baby Body on Golden Globes Red Carpet, Thanks "Lovely Son"

Welcome back, Adele! After many months of seclusion, the 24-year-old British singer returned to the red carpet for the Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton -- her first official public appearance since her pregnancy and the October birth of her first child, a son, with boyfriend Simon Konecki.

Nominated for her James Bond theme song "Skyfall," the superstar looked retro-elegant in a black, lacy gown by Burberry, with her dirty-blonde locks in an undo, finishing it off with Cartier jewels. Speaking with Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet, Adele didn't speak about her baby or motherhood -- but detailed the recording of "Skyfall," which was enriched, in a way, by her pregnancy.



"I was very pregnant and very emotional," she said of the recording process. "But [it was] very exciting . . . it was very good." Adding that recording a track for the 007 franchise is a "big responsibility," she gushed that "Daniel Craig is a gorgeous bond."



Back in November, Adele's pal, British comedian Alan Carr, let it slip that her little boy is "such a cutie . . . She's doing great, she's glowing!"

UPDATE: Winning the Golden Globe for her moving track, an awestruck Adele dedicated her latest trophy to her new family: "This is for my boyfriend Simon, who convinced me to do it, and my lovely son."

Adele on Motherhood: "I Have Eczema From Boiling Bottles"

Mommy's first night out was a smashing success for Adele! Attending the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills on Sunday Jan. 13, the British singer, 24 -- at her first event since the birth of her son in October -- was resplendent in a Burberry dress, Miu Miu heels and jewelry by Cartier and Van Cleef and Arpels. As widely suspected, the "Skyfall" chanteuse and songwriter ended up being victorious in the Best Song category, and acknowledged her "lovely son" during her ebullient acceptance speech.

Chatting with reporters backstage in the press room, the chart-topping star opened up (even if just for a moment) about how motherhood has changed her. "I have eczema from boiling bottles!" she admitted of caring for her little boy with boyfriend Simon Konecki. One thing Adele is keeping private? Her firstborn's name. "I am not sharing his name at the moment. It is very personal to me."

She was willing to confess, however, that motherhood bliss may mean a much happier followup to 21 -- the worldwide smash record beloved for its songs of romantic anguish. "I feel a little bit kind of overexcited," she told reporters. "It's my first night out since I had my child and my inspiration normally comes from heart break, but I don't think I am going to?have be devastated again."

And recording a theme song for one of the most iconic, and longest-running, film franchises ever was both daunting and an appropriate followup to 2011, in which she became a global superstar. "I had a huge weird strange bizarre year with my album 21 that just shot me to beyond fame, it was ridiculous and I was pregnant!" she explained. "I had my child about two weeks before the film came out. So it was bad timing," she joked.
