New mother Adele dedicates Best Original Song award to her baby after winning for Skyfall
She's riding high on the wave of new motherhood and now Adele has something else to make her smile... a Golden Globe.
After making her red carpet return for the first time since giving birth 12 weeks ago, the London-born singer clinched the Best Original Song for her self-penned James Bond theme tune, Skyfall.
Wearing a black Burberry gown, the 24-year-old paid tribute to her baby son - whose name she has yet to reveal - and boyfriend Simon Konecki as she accepted the accolade.

"It's very strange to be here and thank you so much for letting me be part of your world for a night. It's amazing, we've been p*****g ourselves laughing, you know."
'This is for my boyfriend who convinced me to do it and for my lovely son.'
