The singer, 33, who is dating record producer Rich Paul, pulled a series of dramatic expressions while making her way down the carpet where she displayed an eye-catching rock on her engagement finger.
The star’s appearance comes as she continues to face backlash for leaving fans thousands of pounds out of pocket when she pulled the plug on her Stateside shows with just 24 hours notice.

Adele and Rich have been in a relationship since early 2021 and met two years prior at a party.
The singer previously described her relationship with him as being the most ‘incredible, openhearted, and easiest’ one she’s ever been in.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, she said: ‘I didn’t really tell many of my friends at the beginning because I wanted to keep it to myself.’
Adele was comfortable enough to introduce Rich to her nine-year-old son, Angelo, whom she co-parents with her ex-husband Simon Konecki.

The former couple were first linked romantically in mid-2011 and were eventually married and separated all in the calendar year of 2018.
In another interview, with Vogue in early October, the native of London, England confirmed that she and Paul are indeed an item.
Of their reconnection years after their first meeting, Adele said ‘Rich just incredibly arrived,’ and that their union has since had a positive impact on her well-being.
‘I don’t feel anxious or nervous or frazzled,’ Adele explained, adding, ‘It’s quite the opposite. It’s wild.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives of Adele for comment.

The singer – who has been hiding out at boyfriend Rich’s home in recent weeks – touched down at Heathrow on the weekend and was seen making her way into the airport’s Windsor Suite.
Rich, 40, was not seen at the airport after the sports agent found himself wrapped up into the controversy over the Vegas residency, which Adele canceled just a day before she was supposed to begin performing last month.
A source at the rehearsals told Page Six late that the singer often made sobbing calls to her boyfriend that interrupted rehearsals.
‘Adele’s been crying and couldn’t get through a single full rehearsal for the past month,’ said the source, who was connected to the Caesars Palace management team. ‘Just constantly on the phone with Rich… loudly shouting and sobbing.’
