An international treasure, Celine Dion. The Canadian-born singer, who has been singing since she was a young child, is the all-time best-selling artist in the French language and has sold more than 53 million albums in the United States alone.

The “My Heart Will Go On” singer has become famous for her remarkable sense of style in addition to her decades-long career as a pop music legend. Take a look at Celine Dion young and old, from her earliest years and significant moments in fashion to her most recent successes.

On March 30, 1968, Celine Dion was born in Charlemagne, Quebec, the youngest of her family’s 14 children. Early on, she expressed an interest in singing, and at the age of just 13, she recorded her debut album, La voix du bien Dieu.

René Angélil, her manager, is said to have taken out a mortgage on his home to pay for the album’s recording. However, his risk paid off because Dion had seven French-language albums under her belt and was a household name in Quebec by the time she turned 18 years old.

For the 1987 publication of her eighth album, Incognito, she also underwent a significant stylistic makeover and debuted a new, contemporary appearance.

Only until Dion’s 1990 release of Unison, her debut album in the English language, did her fame begin to expand beyond of Canada. The track “Where Does My Heart Beat Now” from the album went on to become her first top-ten smash on the American Billboard charts.

She received widespread recognition when she sung the lead vocals on the title song for the animated film Beauty and the Beast the following year. In addition to earning Dion her first Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, the song, a duet with Peabo Bryson, also received an Academy Award for Best Song.

With the 1992 release of Celine Dion, which included the “Beauty and the Beast” single along with other singles like “You Asked Me To” and “Love Can Move Mountains,” Dion’s international triumph continued.

The Colour of My Love in 1993, D’Eux in 1995, and Falling Into You in 1996 came after that album. Dion’s international recognition increased with the publication of each of the three albums, but it wasn’t until 1997, with the release of “My Heart Will Go On,” that she truly broke through.

Many people believe that “My Heart Will Go On” is Celine Dion’s best musical achievement because it serves as the primary theme from the popular movie Titanic. The song spent an incredible 16 weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 charts and was awarded the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

It was included on both the Titanic soundtrack and Dion’s 1997 album, Let’s Talk About Love. The singer received four Grammy Awards as a result, including ones for Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

Let’s Talk About Love sold more than 31 million copies worldwide, making it Dion’s fastest-selling album and one of the all-time best-sellers as a result of the single’s success.

Despite having a 26-year age difference, Dion began dating her manager, René Angélil, when she was only 19 years old in 1987. When Dion dedicated The Colour of My Love to him in 1993 and acknowledged her sentiments in the album’s liner notes, the couple made their relationship public. “You want to shout it to the world when you’re in love,” she remarked.

A year later, the pair were married. Dion looked stunning in an exquisite garment created by Mirella and Steve Gentile for their wedding, which was shown on Canadian television. The dress had a 19-foot-long train and a Swarovski crystal headpiece that weighed more than six pounds. It was covered in lace and jewels that reportedly took more than 1,000 hours to create.

On January 25, 2001, Dion gave birth to Rene-Charles, her first child. The new mother made the decision to take a two-year hiatus from work to care for her kid and take care of Angélil, who had been diagnosed with throat cancer in 1999, despite the fact that she was at the pinnacle of her profession.

With the release of her 18th studio album, A New Day Has Come, in 2002, Dion made a comeback to the stage. A few years later, she took another sabbatical from the entertainment industry to give birth to twin boys named Eddy and Nelson on October 23, 2010.

In a 2013 Women’s Weekly interview, Dion commented, “My children are my biggest prize. “I don’t think the umbilical chord should be severed. It’s never over for me; once you become a mother, you are a mother for life. It gives your life real meaning and is the most significant job.

Dion decided against going on a world tour to support A New Day in order to balance motherhood and fame, choosing instead to take up residency in Las Vegas. The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace, which was built especially for her, hosted the show’s debut in 2003. It had a five-year run and made more over $385 million in revenue.

Dion began her second Las Vegas residency, Celine, in 2011. The program, which was initially intended to continue for three years, ultimately ran until 2019, albeit Dion took a year off to care for Angélil after his cancer returned in 2014.

The “Tell Him” singer also attributes her ability to cope with her husband’s passing to fashion. She told People, “It’s amazing how a little bit of fantasy can change our moods.” Since I can remember, I have always had a passion for clothes.

But as everyone is aware, I’ve recently through some incredibly trying moments. I believe that these days, thanks to lovely outfits and accessories, I’m extending my wings a little bit more.

The 27th studio album by Dion, titled Courage, was released in 2019. It was motivated by Dion’s experience with loss and her journey through grief.

She embarked on her first global tour in more than ten years to promote the album that year, but the COVID-19 epidemic forced her to postpone the balance of the tour until 2020. Since then, she has continued to cancel plans owing to illness.

In addition to her beautiful voice, Dion is well renowned for her daring sense of style, which the singer claims is a characteristic of her personality. “Fashion is art in my eyes. In a 2019 interview with Elle, she noted, “It’s a way of expressing oneself. “I play when I put something on. I’m not serious about myself at all. I sort of like stealing a character.

Even in her recently constructed Las Vegas house, the “Loved Me Back to Life” singer had a two-story closet built, which she refers to as her “playground.” Additionally, she continues to advocate fashion as a means of self-expression, perhaps most notably with the 2018 launch of the children’s clothing company Célinununu, which is gender-neutral.

In an interview with the Independent, Dion stated, “It’s about presenting [a] choice and giving youngsters an opportunity to feel free to uncover their own originality, their own true essence without being chained to stereotypes.” Every child, in my opinion, should have their own identity, be able to express themselves freely, and not feel pressured to conform to social norms.
