Adele- curse of the photo shop?

Glancing at the pictures here, does it appear to anyone else that her figure has lost a good couple of dress sizes? Can't figure out if its clever photography, photo shot to buggery or she's simply lost weight?

Given that the article is about her weight (large) and how happy she is about it, do you think it's taking the pee a bit?

sp1814, the Dusty Springfield of the 20th century was in fact Dusty Springfield...

Its just clever use of photography and make-up.

Does anyone remember the rock group Heart from the 80's? They used similar methods for their lead singer.
We were all taken aback when we saw her live for the first time as she was quite a large girl. Nothing wrong with that but they clearly felt the need to hide it in their photos.
