Celine Dion sparkles in pink cape gown as she performs during Elie Saab fashion show
Celine Dion is back in dazzling fashion.
The musician took to the runway at the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Wednesday night, closing out the show with a few of her most iconic hits, performing “The Power of Love” and “I’m Alive.”
Dion, 56, sparkled on stage in a dreamy light pink embroidered gown with a complementing flowy cape. She accessorized with glitzy silver earrings and coordinating rings and bracelets.
The dazzling show also included models Helena Christensen, Candice Swanepoel, Amelia Hamlin, Adriana Lima and more, plus Halle Berry — in her original 2002 Oscars gown.
Prior to the runway, which honored the Lebanese designer’s 45-year career, the six-time Grammy winner shut down the red carpet in a dramatic pink gown festooned with bold ruffles.
Dion’s hair was styled in a slick back bun, while her makeup included rosy pink blush and soft pink lipstick.
“Being here for the first time is kind of a dream come true,” Dion told Hello magazine on the red carpet. “And Monsieur Elie Saab and his entourage and his beautiful family has welcomed us here – my manager, my son and all the people that I needed to support me to be here.”
Last night marks Dion’s second performance amid her battle with stiff person syndrome.
In June, the singer returned to the stage at the Paris Olympics 2024 — her first gig since the diagnosis.
Dion closed out the opening ceremony in a beaded fringe Dior gown, which took a whopping 1,000 hours to make.
Dion has been making more public appearances as of late.
Last month, she attended Adele’s Las Vegas residency show at the Colosseum Theater in Caesars Palace.
After spotting Dion in the crowd, Adele approached the “My Heart Will Go On” singer, who was with 14-year-old twin sons twins, Nelson and Eddy. The musicians cried as they hugged one another.
She also gave a speech about “hope” while presenting the Spirit of Life Award at the City of Hope’s 2024 Spirit of Life Gala last month, wearing a black dress with rhinestone-covered sleeves.
Keep sparkling, Celine.
