Adele appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, wearing no makeup, and looking as if she had just taken a shower, adorned in a white robe. Rolling Stone constantly uses people of influence and popularity for their covers, and Adele is no exception. She is featuring on Rolling Stone's cover because of those reasons. With Adele wearing no makeup, this gives a vulnerable look to her. This adds to the theme of "Adele A Private Life." (Rolling Stone). With huge stars usually wearing makeup in public, seeing a successful singer such as Adele barefaced gives audiences the feeling as if Adele is being honest with them and telling them all about her "...private life" (Rolling Stone). This is also an appeals to emotions as well, because of the publics' insistent need to know about the lives of the famous, and to feel included in their private business. The tone of this image is honest, as her appearance alludes to vulnerability and no hiding, and so does the caption that strengthens this tone; it tells the reader what this issue is centering around: Adele's private life. The purpose is to trap the audience in this feeling and theme of honesty, to make them want to turn the page and read the special edition all on her life, fulfilling their need to know about her life beyond the flashing lights. More simply put, it is to get someone to read their magazine. In addition, she also creates eye contact with the audience as well, furthering the idea of honesty and vulnerability as she "looks" to the reader. Her pose as well, is serious and well planned out, positioned in the perfect place to add to this point. This purpose is interesting as it could be taken into many different accounts. Some, will view it as straightforward inclusion and honesty as Adele comments on her own life to the magazine, for the whole world to read. On the other hand, some could see this as a marketing ploy, toying off the public's need to want to know every little tidbit and dirty secret about someone else's life.
