It was the singer's second show-stopping look of the night.
Celine Dion has become a walking definition of the word triumphant. The singer made a heroic return to the stage in July to perform at the Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony, marking her official comeback since announcing her Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis in December 2022. She wore a dress as legendary as her: a dazzling Dior gown that took 1,000 hours to make. Now, four months later, she has followed up her return performance with another victorious show and an equally gleaming dress at 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab.
The "My Heart Will Go On" hitmaker stepped out to celebrate the Lebanese designer's 45-year fashion career at a lavish fashion show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. She moved the crowd to tears by closing out the ceremony with her 1993 hit "The Power of Love," as models walked passed her, and her 2002 song "I'm Alive." Once she finished, she embraced Saab before walking off the runway alongside him.
For the occasion, Dion looked regal in a salmon-pink gown that featured a form-fitting construction through her hips, a floor-grazing train, long sleeves, a high neckline, an ethereal trailing sheer cape, and thousands of glimmering sequins throughout. She paired the masterpiece with even more bling via a three-strand diamond choker necklace, matching bangles, a diamond ring, and diamond stud earrings.
For beauty, the mom-of-three opted for glowy glam, complete with bronzy cheeks, a dark smoky eye, and a glossy nude lip. She swept her golden-blonde locks back into a sleek, neat bun with a side part.
Just hours before, Dion walked the red carpet in a gorgeous pink gown. This time, the frock was a printed, multicolor piece that featured a dramatic mermaid train, a figure-hugging fit, long sleeves, a straight neckline, and two giant floral appliqués, one of which transitioned into a wispy, sheer cape detail. She went sans necklace and bracelets for this ensemble, simply accenting the look with small diamond stud earrings. She kept her glam rosy and styled her hair in the same bun.
