Adele caused a scandal because of a dress by designer Valentin Yudashkin, who dressed the Russian army: Ukrainians accused the singer of supporting the war

Adele made a splash because of a dress by a Russian designer

The famous British singer Adele wore a dress by Russian fashion designer Valentin Yudashkin at her concert in Las Vegas. It is known that in the 2000s, this designer designed military uniforms for Russians, but the artist did not take this into account when choosing her look.

The singer had a dress custom-made for her for two months, and during this time, none of the team asked about the real work of the fashion designer, who, by the way, died in 2023, but his fashion house is still functioning. Adele posted photos from the performance on Instagram, where she even decided to promote the brand by labeling it in the photos.

"The magnificent Adele is wearing a customized dress by Yudashkin, created especially for her 45th concert in Las Vegas. A laconic piece that reflects her beauty," the brand proudly announced on its Instagram.

Of course, it is unacceptable for Ukrainians to tolerate Russians in times of terrorist aggression, so the artist was hated in the comments:

  • "Adele and the Russian army wear clothes from the same designer".
  • "You buy a dress from a Russian designer, he pays taxes in Russia, Russia uses this money to sponsor the war in Ukraine."
  • "A Russian designer? Adele, you are one of the best singers, but do you realize what you are supporting by wearing this dress?"
  • "Don't forget to wear this dress to watch the movie 20 Days in Mariupol."
  • "Wow, you support the killing of children in Ukraine."
  • "I can't believe my favorite singer made such a cruel choice! You hurt me! You hurt my daughter, who has not seen her father for almost two years! Any support for the murderers means more Ukrainians killed, tortured, abducted. It is a huge disappointment..."

Almost immediately, Russian bots started posting in the comments, writing under each indignation: "Beautiful dress" and added the Russian flag after these words.

In 2012 and 2018, Valentin Yudashkin was officially a confidant of dictator Putin in his "democratic" elections, so he ardently supported the Russian leader, probably until his death. In particular, Adele's team deliberately chose a Russian brand, as the fashion house's social media posts are in Russian, not just English, which could have led to a failure to pay close attention to its origin.

Not only did the artist "throw" a penny into the Russian treasury, but also fashion shows, because the world considers Yudashkin a "great man" in the field of fashion design. He appears annually during fashion show weeks in Paris, Milan, and other cities around the world. By the way, the dress worn by Adele was also presented at one of these events in Dubai.

Yudashkin's daughter, Galina, who has been running the company since the Russian's death, fled to the United Arab Emirates a few years ago and moved her fashion house there. It was from there that Adele was sent her dress, according to Russian media.

Earlier, OBOZ.UA reported that Jennifer Lopez also got burned by the support of Russian brands. While Adele only performs in a dress created by Russians, the pop star was photographed on the cover of her album wearing a look from a fashion house that sews things in Russia and sells them to Russians.
