Adele Adkins, a globally popular British singer-songwriter known most simply as Adele, courted danger on Sunday when she posted a photograph of herself on Instagram with her hair twisted into “Bantu knots”—small buns that are an African style of coiffure. She also wore a bikini top in the distinctive pattern of Jamaica’s flag, a gold saltire with green and black triangles. Her caption read, “Happy what would be Notting Hill Carnival my beloved London,” a wistful reference to a Caribbean-themed celebration that has taken place in London every August since 1966 but won’t happen in 2020, thanks to Covid.
