Wonderfully dazzling, Céline Dion’s appearances always leave an unforgettable impression. For her grand comeback at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, the singer chose a Dior haute couture outfit – specifically conceived by Maria Grazia Chiuri – to sublimate her performance of Edith Piaf’s Hymne à l’Amour.
From the second floor of the Eiffel Tower – majestically crowned by the Olympic rings – a monument reflecting all the magic of Paris, she delivered a moving performance dressed in a white silk georgette gown, embroidered with a hypnotic palette of sequins (pierced sparkles) and magnified by over 500 meters of fringing studded with thousands of silver beads, seeming to come alive, vibrating and scintillating to the rhythm of her enchanting performance. An exceptional model, entirely made-to-measure, on the star’s body, with the utmost meticulousness, requiring over a thousand hours of work, and perpetuating the prodigious embroidery savoir-faire of the House of Dior.
A grand finale during which Céline Dion was accompanied at the piano by composer and conductor Scott Price in a black Oblique tuxedo by Kim Jones for Dior.
