Adele's killer Rolling Stone cover.

This could be one of the best Rolling Stone covers of all time.

All you have to do, as a woman, to get a decent Rolling Stone cover that doesn’t focus on your nipples, is sell 30 million-odd albums and break records with 50 million views of your new music video within 48 hours.

That’s the only way we can account for the fantastic cover of Adele Adkins, 27, on the magazine that usually prefers its women under-clothed.

Peering out from eyes that look like they’ve been crying all night, Adele wears what looks like a bulky bathrobe.

So good.

The picture is just a shot of her head and neck — something usually reserved for men on Rolling Stone covers.

And she’s not smiling, nor is she pouting invitingly.

Her hair is wet, but not in a sexy, tousled way. It’s more like she just got out of the shower. It fits in with the robe thing.

Her face also appears to be make-up free.

Adele is such a superstar that she can do a magazine cover in her robe, with wet hair and no make-up.

The interview inside is also fantastic. In her inimitable style, Adele talks about music, motherhood and who’s album she’s been waiting years for (Frank Ocean).
