Celine Dion kicks off Paris Fashion Week with surprise performance
The singer appeared at the end of L'Oreal's annual show as the French fashion bonanza kicked off.
Canadian superstar Celine Dion commenced Paris Fashion Week with a striking surprise performance of her 2002 hit "I’m Alive" beneath the iconic Eiffel Tower. The renowned singer, who was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called stiff person syndrome in 2022, concluded L’Oreal's annual show with her vocals. Wearing a stunning ruched full-length velvet black gown, Dion was later joined by high-profile ambassadors for the French brand, such as Viola Davis, Simone Ashley, Aja Naomi King, and Eva Longoria.
Notably, Dion returned to Paris for a comeback show earlier in the month, marking her first public appearance since her 2020 concert in New Jersey, which was cut short due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As Paris Fashion Week continues until October 6th, showcasing the spring/summer collections, notable actresses like Viola Davis and Eva Longoria were equally thrilled to witness Dion under the Parisian sky.
Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, and Rihanna also graced the runway, each showcasing their unique styles in designer outfits. Rihanna made her presence felt with a glamorous copper two-piece, while Cynthia Erivo attended a Tiffany and M.A.D event. Fashion enthusiasts are closely watching Dior and Chanel as they introduce new artistic directors, Matthieu Blazy at Chanel and Jonathan Anderson at Dior, in hopes of witnessing an intense aesthetic rivalry on the runways.
