Celine Dion Returns to the Runway for Elie Saab’s 1001 Seasons Show in Riyadh
Celine Dion made a stunning return to the spotlight at the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where she closed the show with powerful performances of “The Power of Love” and “I’m Alive.” The six-time Grammy winner, dressed in a delicate light pink embroidered gown with a flowing cape, captivated the audience, accessorizing her look with silver earrings, rings, and bracelets.
The runway show, a tribute to Lebanese designer Elie Saab’s 45-year legacy, featured top models Helena Christensen, Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, and even actress Halle Berry, who wore her iconic 2002 Oscars gown. Prior to her performance, Dion turned heads on the red carpet in a dramatic pink ruffled gown, exuding timeless glamour with her hair styled in a sleek bun and soft pink makeup.
Reflecting on her debut in Riyadh, Dion expressed gratitude, saying, “Being here for the first time is a dream come true.” This performance marks her second since her stiff person syndrome diagnosis, with her first being at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
Dion has been actively reengaging with fans, recently attending Adele’s Las Vegas show, where the two artists shared an emotional reunion. Last month, she also delivered an inspiring speech about hope at the City of Hope’s Spirit of Life Gala.
