The Rolling In The Deep hitmaker brought the party to the garden of the lavish home that she owns in Beverly Hills.
While sharing a snap of her outfit, Adele also gave fans a sneak peek at the sprawling outdoor space of her £7.7 million property.
In the image, which she shared with her 38.6 million Instagram followers, Adele showed off her slimmed down frame as she cracked on with her celebrations.
A large pool surrounded by comfy sun loungers can be seen in the background of the snap.

The Government was expected to launch a fresh publicity blitz to get people back into the office amid fears that cities may become 'ghost towns' without commuters
Safety experts have warned that there is "no evidence" that workplaces are safe - despite Government efforts to get millions of employees back to work.
Lawrence Waterman, chairman of the British Safety Council, which advises firms on health and safety, warned that inspections were too infrequent for ministers to offer guarantees.
The Government has been pushing for staff to go back to work to help support town centre economies - but many firms have put in place plans for working from home for months ahead.
But Mr Waterman told the BBC: "I think many of us don't understand why there's such firm advice with ministers stating that workplaces are now safe - there's no evidence for that.
"Indeed, there is an argument which says that workplaces are so rarely inspected with the cuts that have occurred to the Health and Safety Executive and to local authorities over the last 10 years, that it's probably more likely that you'll win the lottery than be visited by an inspector."

Europa League draw in full as Tottenham and Rangers discover fate
Tottenham face a trip to Bulgaria to face Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the second qualifying round of the Europa League.
Jose Mourinho's side edged into the European competition on the final day of the season and will face three games in a bid to qualify for the group stages.
Rangers, who were knocked out by Bayer Leverkusen in the last-16, start their quest for European glory again against Gilbralter's Lincoln Red Imps, who famously beat Celtic in 2016.
Republic of Ireland's Shamrock Rovers have been handed a glamour tie at home to Italian giants AC Milan.
Linfield, Connah's Quay Nomads, Motherwell, TNS, Coleraine, Aberdeen and Bala were the other British sides in the draw, as well as another team from the Republic of Ireland, Dundalk.
Celtic, meanwhile, will enter in the third qualifying round after they were not one of two teams drawn to progress straight to the play-off stage.
They all discovered their fate ahead of one-legged ties which will take place behind closed doors on September 17 with extra-time and penalties coming into play if required.
