Adele leaves Brits 2022 in fluffy slippers with a packet of cigarettes after winning three awards
ADELE slipped into a pair of fluffy slippers as she left the Brits after winning three awards.
The superstar was spotted in the back of a chauffeur driven car with a packet of cigarrettes in reaching distance.
The Easy On Me singer was busy scrolling through her phone in the back seat, after beating Ed Sheeran in three of the top new gender neutral categories.
She was whisked away from the Brits after-party at Soho House after a wild night that saw her returning to the awards for the first time since 2016.
Adele, 33, was crowned Artist of the Year - the first time male and female artists have battled it out for one prize.
She also won the honourable album of the year for her critically-acclaimed 30, and Song of the Year for her comeback track Easy On Me.
But she hit out at the Brits for scrapping male and female gongs during one trip to the podium to collect her prize.
As she picked up Artist of the Year, the star appeared to take a swipe at the event's new gender neutral categories as she declared 'I love being a female artist'.

She said: "I really wasn't expecting this one at all. I want to say a massive congratulations to Little Simz. Dave, Ed, Sam, I'm so proud to be in your company.
"I love being an artist. I can't believe its my job. England, the UK, we have so many incredible young artists coming up.
"I understand why this has changed, but I really love being a woman and a female artist. I'm really proud of us."
In December, the Brit Awards revealed they were following in the footsteps of the Grammys and MTV awards to drop the gendered categories, which those major ceremonies did in 2012 and 2017 respectively.
The Sun first revealed organisers were considering removing the gendered categories in 2019.
Their decision finally came after non-binary singer Sam Smith, who won in 2014, felt excluded from May’s show, saying: “Music for me has always been about unification not division.
“Let’s celebrate everybody regardless of gender, race, age, ability, sexuality, and class.”
