In a dazzling display of her iconic talent, global superstar Céline Dion graced the runway at the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab fashion show on Wednesday, November 13th. The five-time Grammy winner took the stage in a stunning pink gown, wowing the audience with unforgettable performances of her hit songs “The Power of Love” and “I’m Alive.”
Dion’s appearance at the event, which celebrated renowned Lebanese designer Elie Saab‘s 45-year fashion career, marked a triumphant comeback for the beloved singer. After revealing her stiff-person-syndrome diagnosis in 2022, Dion has been gradually returning to the spotlight, most notably with her emotional performance of Edith Piaf’s “Hymne A L’Amour” at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony in July.
The 56-year-old Canadian icon looked radiant as she took the stage, her long, sequin-encrusted gown shimmering under the lights. Dion’s sleek low bun and sparkling silver accessories perfectly complemented the glamorous ensemble, creating a truly show-stopping look.
According to reports, Dion began her performance with “The Power of Love,” captivating the audience as the models walked past her on the runway. She then seamlessly transitioned into “I’m Alive,” her powerful vocals filling the air as she strutted alongside the legendary Elie Saab, 60.
In addition to her impressive stage presence, Dion also turned heads on the red carpet, where she arrived in a striking pink ensemble featuring large ruffles on each shoulder and a sheer cape. “I’m back with The Queen, @celinedion, in Riyadh for @eliesaabworld 1001 Seasons @ranifawazofficial,” Dion’s stylist, Law Roach, proudly shared on Instagram.
The star-studded company Dion kept backstage made her triumphant return to the stage all the more special. Photographs captured the singer posing with fellow performers Jennifer Lopez and Camila Cabello, acclaimed actress Halle Berry, and the inimitable Elie Saab himself.
The fashion show in Riyadh marks a significant milestone in Dion’s comeback journey, as it represents her first major public performance since her health struggles. The singer’s resilience and unwavering spirit have inspired fans around the world, and her appearance at the Elie Saab event is a testament to her unwavering determination.
Following her emotional performance at the Paris Olympics, Dion shared on Instagram, “Thanks to everyone at @paris2024, @olympics, and @dior who helped make this dream come true.” “And now, it’s already time to go! I will miss you, Paris! – Celine xx…”
