Last month, Celine Dion made her glorious return to the stage in Paris, following a years-long private battle with stiff-person syndrome (SPS). And what a return it was: The iconic French Canadian singer has been hitting the stage at the Plenitude Arena in Nanterre, France, exiting her hotel before each performance wearing a different high-fashion look, and then hitting the stage in similarly buzzy outfits, including custom Dior and Givenchy, among others.
This evening, however, Dion closed out her final week of shows (until May 2027, when she picks the tour back up) on an even more fabulous fashion note: The star opened her concert tonight wearing a custom Chanel dress that was inspired by the glitzy gown she wore back at the 1997 Oscars.
Back at the ’97 awards show, Dion made history when she became the first artist to perform twice during the same Oscars ceremony. (She sang her own hit “Because You Loved Me,” and a cover of Barbara Streisand’s “I Finally Found Someone.”) The star did so in a glitzy, silver plunging Chanel gown and comet-style necklace from Chanel, designed by Karl Lagerfeld, the brand’s designer at the time.
