'It was Givenchy couture': Adele hits back at Princess Fiona Grammys comparison

Didn't like Adele's Grammys dress? She honestly does not have two cares to rub together about that.

The British singer, who is on her first ever tour of Australia and New Zealand, told fans who attended her sold-out show at Perth's Domain Stadium she did not "f---ing care" about what anyone thought of the (apparently divisive) green dress she wore to the Grammy Awards last month.

Adele Brisbane arrivals: time lapse

A bird's eye view of 60,000 people pouring into the Gabba to watch Adele perform on Saturday night.

"I don't f------ care. It was Givenchy Couture!" Adele told the 65,000-strong crowd. "They can say what they want."

The dress had attracted some negative comments on social media, with some likening it to the dress worn by Princess Fiona in the Shrek films. (News to us: the singer appeared on our best dressed list for her stunning khaki green ensemble.)

"Before the Grammys I had this dress right, I wore this green dress, everyone said I looked like Fiona from Shrek. They did," she said.

The Hello singer added that she had adopted a workout regime to fit into the dress, explaining it was "quite tight".

"I worked out. Obviously I'm a large lady and I like eating food very much, but I was working out twice a day to fit into that Givenchy dress because it was quite tight."

Adele wore the dress to the 59th annual Grammy Awards, where she picked up Album of the Year for her record 25, somewhat controversially ahead of Beyoncé's Lemonade.

The singer arrived in Australia last week, spending time in Sydney before jetting over to Perth to begin her 11-stop tour.
