Adele hides behind her handbag as she sings along to her own song

Adele hid behind her Louis Vuitton to sing along to one of her own songs as she attended the Lakers v Golden State Warriors at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The singer, 33, who was sat courtside with her boyfriend Rich Paul, 39, attempted to cover her face as her song played for the crowd.

The Easy On Me hitmaker, who is releasing her fourth album 30 in November, made a series of playful facial expressions while the track played.

Adele and Rich, who have been linked since May, looked to be in chipper moods as they surveyed the NBA season opening game from courtside seats.

The Golden State Warriors emerged victorious from the game, beating the Lakers with a score of 121-114.

Adele slipped her figure into a pair of skintight brown vinyl trousers and a matching top with a plunging neckline.

The Grammy Award-winner layered up her look with a brown Louis Vuitton coat featuring the luxury brand's famous monogram.

Adele navigated the 19,000 person arena in a pair of towering black heels. 

She enhanced her natural beauty by rocking some fierce winged eyeliner and her signature mauve lip.

At one point during the game, the English hitmaker was captured with a huge smile on her face as she waved to a familiar face passing through her and Rich's seated section of the Staples Center.

Rich, also sporting a noticeable grin, sat comfortable beside Adele in a green zip-up jacket, a black turtleneck, and some grey pants.

He happens to manage Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green, who often plays at the power forward position for the San Francisco-based team. 

The couple's outing came after Adele gushed about her new boyfriend in an interview with British Vogue, saying that the pair are 'very happy' and that Rich isn't 'frazzled' by her huge, global fame.

She also told American Vogue in a separate profile, that Rich 'just incredibly arrived' days before her estranged father passed away. (Her dad Mark Evans died from cancer aged 57 in May this year, after falling out in 2011.) 

Earlier this year in March, Adele finalized her divorce with ex-husband Simon Konecki, 46, after nearly two years of marriage. The pair share nine-year-old son Angelo together.

'Yes, we're together,' Adele confirmed in the interview, adding: 'We're very happy.' 

Adele then opened up further about the relationship, explaining how they did not plan to 'go public' when they were first seen a basket ball game together in July this year.

'And I didn't get dragged along to the [basketball game the other night] because that's his line of work,' she said.

Recounting the same story to American Vogue, she said: 'I didn't mean to go public with it. I just wanted to go to the game. I just love being around him. I just love it.'

The conversation of the world finding out about their romance did crop up during the outing: 'He was like, "What are people going to say?" And I was like, "That you signed me. As an athlete. You're my agent." And he was like, "Okay, cool."

However, the Grammy winning star confesses that it no longer feels 'stressful' going out in the public eye with her new man by her side.

'It used to, but it hasn't been this time because he doesn't mind. Normally, I think I get scared about it because it’s very emasculating. Really emasculating,' she told British Vogue.

'I did date before Rich, but they hated it,' Adele said of her previous boyfriends. 'They'd find it stressful being out or seen with me, which meant that I guarded all of it beyond. It never evolved because we were never experiencing things together.' 

'Whereas he's not frazzled by it at all. It feels like it’s consistent and considerate enough that I don’t care who knows.'

She added excitedly: 'He's great. He's so f**kng funny. He's so smart, you know.'

Meanwhile, in her interview with American Vogue, Adele says she feels safe with Paul.

'I don't feel anxious or nervous or frazzled. It's quite the opposite. It's wild,' she said.

'I'm a 33-year-old divorced mother of a son, who's actually in charge. The last thing I need is someone who doesn't know where they're at, or what they want. I know what I want. And I really know what I don't want.' 

The couple, who have been 'inseparable' since the summer, have reportedly taken a huge step in the relationship by meeting 'each other's children.'
