Singer Céline Dion owns no less than 10,000 pairs of shoes. But where does the 56-year-old star keep all her pumps? In a special warehouse, no less! Confidences.
You may have known Celine Dion’s passion for shoes, but did you know that the star whose documentary on Amazon Prime Video will be available from June 25, 2024, owned no less than 10,000 pairs of shoes and that she even had dedicated an entire warehouse to store them? Discover the diva’s, to say the least unusual, secrets…
Celine Dion has a warehouse to store her shoes!
In 2019, the singer was a hit in an episode of Carpool Karaoke alongside host James Corden. The concept of the show is simple: it involves having the artists sing in a car and letting them talk between two songs. And Celine Dion was no exception to the rule. The interpreter of I’m alive And My heart Will Go On had let go to the point of making a crazy confession about his pairs of shoes!
When James Corden asked her if she had counted her pairs of shoes, the star ended up revealing that she owned no less than 10,000! The mother of René-Charles and the twins Eddy and Nelson even purchased a warehouse in Las Vegas in which she keeps her precious pieces. We imagine the size of the warehouse and the number of shelves it must need.
Before that, Celine Dion stored her pairs of shoes in her huge dressing room at her villa on Jupiter Island in Florida, which was later sold in 2017.They were all arranged by color, so all I had to do was press a button on a digital tablet and they appeared before my eyes“, she told James Corden.
Why doesn’t Celine Dion want to part with her shoes?
The singing icon, who fights against stiff person syndrome, may have thousands of pairs of shoes, but there is no question of her letting go of them! “Every pair I own has gotten me to where I am today. They have accompanied me in every stage of my life and I am very attached to them“, she also declared to the magazine Women’s Wear Daily.
But René Angélil’s widow is well aware that this obsession with shoes may seem crazy. “You may find it crazy. I keep everything, I just keep buying bigger space“, she said.
Céline Dion, “strong and conquering” thanks to fashion?
The star has long been a true fashionista and sees fashion as an outlet. “I consider fashion to be an art, and it is a very important part of my work, especially on stage. Clothes help you feel strong, romantic, conquering, depending on the songs you have to sing“, she confided to SHE.
And the diva, who could return to the stage at Resorts World in Las Vegas, added: “I tell myself that my example can show that you can be an artist and also a mother, love fashion, have fun, but without doing too much crazy… I wouldn’t say that I don’t care what people think of me, but at the point where I am in my life, I believe that I can allow myself to make decisions and take responsibility for my choices“.
