What a comeback! After a long-awaited absence from the spotlight, Céline Dion finally made her grand return to the stage at the highly anticipated opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in the city of light. Taking center stage on the terrace of the majestic Eiffel Tower—following Lady Gaga‘s, Dion mesmerized the audience with her rendition of Édith Piaf’s iconic “Hymne à l’Amour” while clad in a stunning Dior Haute Couture gown.

Dion looked every bit ethereal in the white silk georgette floor-length dress adorned with cascading beads and shimmering sequins. Finished with a sophisticated mock-neck design and a dramatic sweeping train. What truly made the ensemble stand out was the incredible craftsmanship behind it—created by skilled artisans at the atelier, the dress took over 1,000 hours to complete.
Dion, before her performance, was seen interacting with fans in Paris. She shared photos from her return and expressed her happiness and gratitude to the local Gendarmes for keeping them safe. While the performers were not surprising to those in the know, the details of their clothing were kept under wraps and protected with great care.
