Heres why Adele was wearing Bantu knots, a Jamaican flag bikini top and other carnival wear – CNN

"Happy what would be Notting Hill Carnival my beloved London," the English singer wrote in her caption, referring to the second largest carnival in the world, which usually takes place around this time in the streets of west London.
