Elie Saab had predicted “a phenomenal surprise, worthy of the event” for his fashion show 45e birthday. It was Celine Dion he was talking about!
Images of Celine Dion performing and walking, as a surprise, the red carpet of the fashion show celebrating the 45th anniversary of the house of Lebanese designer Elie Saab in the capital of Saudi Arabia are currently going around the world.
The Quebec diva performed an oriental version of her song there I’m Alive, as well as his song The Power of Love, dressed in a long golden dress during the parade, and her performance went viral.
On the red carpet of the glamorous event taking place as part of the Riyadh Season festival today, the singer looked simply stunning, wearing a long fitted pink dress topped with large shoulder pads resembling chiffon flowers.
On the red carpet, Céline admitted to a journalist that being in Riyadh for the first time in her life is “a dream come true.”
“I’ve been wearing her dresses and her talent for years. Wearing him is one thing, but being here and having had the chance to meet him and talk with him is an extraordinary thing that touched me a lot,” confided the singer, speaking of the stylist Elie Saab.
“We are very privileged to be here, my agent, my son and all the people I need to be here,” she added, referring to the generosity of her host.
The magazine Paris Match shared several videos of the diva on her social networks. We discover Céline walking on the red carpet on the arm of her eldest son, René-Charles, and performing.
Several clips from this red carpet can be found on various Celine Dion fan accounts as well as those of local media, including one on which she can be seen very close to Jennifer Lopez, who also sang at this event.
