Céline Dion’s Dramatic Dior and Givenchy Residency Looks

Following her McQueen street-style look on Saturday, Céline Dion returned to the stage for her residency with two new looks from Dior and Givenchy. Both were black, but they were poles apart.

A New Direction

After dressing Céline in two gowns in different colours, Jonathan Anderson switched things up with a black satin Dior trench coat featuring sculptural ruffled lapels embroidered with pearls, sequins and crystals.

Layered over a little black satin dress with a draped shoulder sash and crystal floral motifs, the coat takes the theatrical elements of Céline’s Dior wardrobe to another level. We’ve gone from gowns with sculptural silhouettes to a coat with exaggerated proportions and ruffles that extend dramatically from the hips.

I love how Jonathan Anderson continues to explore shape and scale, finding new ways to make an impact on stage. This is fashion designed to be seen from the back row, and Céline is exactly the person to carry it off.

The Elegant Alternative

Sarah Burton took a different approach with a black satin duchesse Givenchy dress featuring a bow-knot detail and a slashed silhouette.

For me, it’s the asymmetrical draping that falls down the back that makes this look interesting. Without it, the dress wouldn’t have quite the same appeal. Styled with black pointed-toe pumps, it’s a simpler proposition than the Dior, but I appreciate the contrast.

Between the two, the Dior is my favourite. That coat was made for a stage moment.

Stylist: Annie Horth.
