While the fashion house Elie Saab celebrated its 45th anniversary with great fanfare during an evening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 13, the star appeared at this anniversary fashion show. And she was a triumph! Not as a model, although this fashionista entered their company at the end of the show, but as a singer. Live (certified by producer René Celestin), even if “she herself was not sure she could do it”, Céline Dion offered the delirious public two of her songs, “Power of Love” and a new version from “I’m Alive”.
The public in trance
Céline Dion, who throughout her career has drawn many of her outfits from the creations of the Lebanese fashion house, wore for her performance a gold sequined mermaid dress and a long tulle cape. Very energetic, the singer got the audience on their feet to beat time with her as she encouraged them to participate on “I'm Alive”, as shown in an excerpt from a video on Maxim Sapozhnikov's Instagram account , CEO of F2Max production. In the front row, Halle Berry, Monica Bellucci, dressed all in black, and their Saudi neighbors were enjoying the show.

Answer
Celine Dion was not the only international star invited during this evening entitled The 1001 Seasons of ELIE SAAB, which mixed music and fashion shows. Indeed, there was no shortage of stars! Jennifer Lopez, in a gold sequin bodysuit, matching boots and feather cape by Elie Saab, performed “Waiting for Tonight”, “On The Floor” and “Let's Get Loud”. The young Camila Cabello, in a short, shiny floral dress with a train and floral thigh-high boots, also sang several of her hits, including “Señorita” and “Havana”, in the middle of her dancers and models parading in luxurious spring outfits.
Concerning Celine Dion, in addition to the joy of fans to see her on stage again, it is one more step towards a return of the star to what she does best and the promise she made to herself in learning his diagnosis: meeting his audience in concert.
