Although Celine Dion is often referred to as the “queen of power ballads,” the world-famous musical icon also hits many high notes with her head-turning outfits. Achieving icon status in the fashion and music industries is no easy feat, but Dion makes it look effortless, thanks in large part to her fearless approach to both areas.

Thanks to her many successes, Dion has walked countless red carpets, which she uses almost as if they were extensions of her concerts, giving her an extra stage to dazzle spectators. From backwards tuxedos to couture tailoring to Vegas Showgirl sequins, there’s nothing Dion can’t pull off with ease.

In recent years, she has worked with Image Architect Law Roach, also famous for his work with Zendaya and Anya-Taylor Joy. Together, the unlikely duo left us in awe time and time again with red carpet and street fashions that pushed the boundaries of what clothes can convey.

Dion’s dominance in the music industry spans over three decades. Throughout her legendary career, she has been the protagonist of many iconic fashion moments. We’ve chosen 20 of Celine Dion’s most memorable looks of all time.

Celine Dion in Dior, 2024

For the premiere of her documentary “I Am: Celine Dion,” which follows Dion’s diagnosis with stiff person syndrome, she chose a pearly white silk blouse and bow-tie skirt from Dior. Outside of the Grammy Awards earlier in the year, Dion kept a low profile to focus on her health. The all-white ensemble was an understated yet chic return to the red carpet, styled by Law Roach.

After disappearing from the public eye for nearly two years after being diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, Dion made a surprise appearance on stage at the 2024 Grammy Awards to present the Album of the Year award to Taylor Swift. Wearing an orchid pink dress and fitted camel coat by Valentino, the look was a subtle visual reminder of the music icon’s vulnerability and strength.

If there’s one thing Dion will deliver with both her style and her performances, it’s over-the-top showmanship. For the 2019 Met Gala “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” designers Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia of Oscar de la Renta took inspiration from costumes from the Ziegfeld Follies and Dion’s Vegas residency to create this fabulously festive fringed look . They topped it off with a 22-pound silver feathered helmet.
