As one of the best-selling artists of all-time—she's a seven-time Grammy winner with record sales of over 220 million copies worldwide—Céline Dion doesn't really need an introduction. But it's not Dion, the music icon we want to talk about this time around. It's Dion, the style icon, who has been having a defining sartorial moment of late.

While Dion crooned her way into hearts with her powerful ballads ever since she came onto the scene in the '80s, she was never really a fashion darling. Sure, she made the occasional statement by wearing a white tuxedo backwards, accessorised with a tilted hat like her 1999 Grammys appearance, but her diva status was always a result of her musical genius rather than her wardrobe. Come 2016, the songbird's sartorial sensibility took a complete detour, with Dion reemerging as a couture-loving fashion fiend who wore Off-White and Reem Acra with equal flair. #CélineTakesCouture, the hashtag that has taken over her Instagram page, became her style dictum. Vogue takes a look at the 50-year-old's style renaissance.

Céline Dion's fashion transformation

Was there a defining moment that can be dubbed as the coming out for her second innings on the fashion circuit? Many would point towards her look in a Vetements hoodie with images from the 1997 cult film Titanic—she wore it with jeans and Gucci sandals. It was a tongue-in-cheek statement that only she could have pulled off—and it made people take notice, but Dion had already been painting Paris chic with her Balenciaga dresses, Saint Laurent biker jackets, Fendi coats and Balmain trousers.

Dion roped in the expertise of image architect Law Roach in 2016—who was best known for his work with Zendaya back then—to elevate her style. It was a testimony to the life-changing power of fashion, which, according to reports, the singer was harnessing to bring back joy to her life (following the death of her husband and brother earlier the same year). Together, Dion and Roach sealed the former's status as a bona fide style star. She sat front row at Paris Couture Week last year in the season's most coveted looks and made her debut at the Met Gala as well. Safe to say, Dion, the fashion star had arrived.

Ever since, Roach has been creating a roster of looks that are as unexpected as they are on point. She's seen in head-to-toe florals by Roberto Cavalli one day and Givenchy leather overalls with a Céline blouse on another. Pinstriped Ellery pantsuits, Dice Kayek tops, Louis Vuitton x Supreme coordinated sets, Rochas python coats and Off-White tracksuits—it's almost impossible to predict what the duo will pull off next. But you can be sure that each look will be more striking than the previous. Don't believe us? Take a look at our slideshow.
