Vogue Magazine recently posted a photo to its Instagram account of a nude Celine Dion taking a short rest between costume changes.
The 49-year-old Canadian singer performs a show tonight at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris, the first of four shows taking place at the arena this week.
The Instagram post’s caption went into detail on the clothing that the Canadian singer usually wears during her performances.
“For the past five years she has worn haute couture near exclusively for her own performances (in Las Vegas and on her current “mini-tour” of Europe),” the caption reads.
“She performs a minimum two hours a night, five or six nights a week, dancing and curtseying and generally gesticulating sans abandon, in handmade, hand-beaded delicacies designed solely to walk a catwalk or a carpet (and often with handlers).”
“Says Celine, ‘We have to make haute couture industrial.’ And, more enigmatically: ‘The clothes follow me; I do not follow the clothes.’ Which is to say: the haute couture, with all its fragility and handcraft, has to perform professionally for Ms. Dion.”
No wonder she seized the opportunity to take this well earned, outfit-free moment of rest.
Vogue Magazine has posted other, more attired photos of a photoshoot in Paris of Dion, with captions explaining the singer’s opinions on fashion, jewelry, and the paparazzi.
