Celine
Dion and fashion
According
to an article published on "W" fashion magazine, in September 2007,
Celine Dion is one of the few celebrities who prefer to acquire their fancy
gowns the old-fashioned way - by buying them. Gilles Mendel, designer of J.
Mendel, insists that Dion has never even mentioned borrowing a dress from him.
"It's really rare", he says of Celine's buy-only policy. "It
reveals a different personality. She is really classy".
That
same magazine published this beautiful pictures of Celine, wearing Martin
Margiela, Vera Wang, Lanvin, and Alberta Ferretti dresses, and
shoes by Christian Louboutin and Yves
Saint-Laurent.

The
infamous "reverse" Celine at the 1999 Academy Awards...
In
February 1999 the singer turned her back on a white suit that was designed to be
worn that way. A
fashion-forward look meant a "backward" coat and a sly fedora designed by John
Galliano,
from the
House of Christian Dior.
That
now iconic suit sparked round of Dion-in-Dior jokes that snowballed, and
even was led Celine
Dion to be considered the worst dressed celebrity of the ceremony. It
should be noted, however, that fashion critic from "The International
Herald Tribune" was a fan and that "Women's Wear Daily" applauded
Dion's chutzpah.
In
January 2000, Celine was named by fashion maven Richard Blackwell, the second worst dressed celebrity of the
world, because of this reverse white tuxedo. He had added, "Celine
Dion: The question is direction. In her backward tuxedo there's no way of
knowing whether Diva Dion is coming or going: a profusion of confusion".
More
consensual was the white dress that she wore on stage singing "The
Prayer", in duet with Andrea Bocelli.
