Celine Dion kicks off Paris Fashion Week with surprise performance

Canadian singer Celine Dion kicked off Paris Fashion Week with an impromptu performance of her hit song "I’m Alive" beneath the iconic Eiffel Tower. The star, who was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome in 2022, closed out L’Oreal’s annual fashion show on the runway. Wearing a black velvet gown, Dion was later joined by prominent ambassadors for the French brand, including Viola Davis, Simone Ashley, Aja Naomi King, and Eva Longoria.

Dion had recently returned to Paris for a comeback performance earlier this month, her first since a 2020 show in New Jersey – the last before the Covid-19 pandemic interrupted her tour. Paris Fashion Week, featuring women’s spring/summer collections, continues until October 6. Other notable attendees included actress Viola Davis, who received praise from the audience, and supermodel Kendall Jenner, who modelled in a sheer black halterneck dress with a thigh split.

Supermodel Cara Delavingne walked the runway in a red sheer dress with a train, while pop star Rihanna was seen in a glamorous copper two-piece over sheer black lingerie, watching the Matières Fécales fashion show.
