Céline Dion pose nue pour Vogue

Lors d’un récent shooting réalisé pour le magazine Vogue, Céline Dion a posé entièrement nue.

Le cliché a été publié sur le compte Instagram du magazine américain, et a été réalisé par la photographe Sophia Li. On y voit la chanteuse dans le plus simple appareil, assise sur une chaise, les bras et les jambes croisés de manière à cacher les parties intimes de son anatomie.

 

Here's a little naked fact to ponder while Celine Dion changes looks between shows: for the past five years she has worn haute couture near exclusively for her own performances (in Las Vegas and on her current "mini-tour" of Europe). She performs a minimum two hours a night, five or six nights a week, dancing and curtseying and generally gesticulating sans abandon, in handmade, hand-beaded delicacies designed solely to walk a catwalk or a carpet (and often with handlers). For Celine's orders, the houses send teams to Nevada for typically three fittings, before the garments are ultimately finished in her local, private atelier. Armani Prive, Schiaparelli, Giambattista Valli, Versace...only a partial list. Everyone, basically. In Vegas, Velcro panels are added to allow for her ribcage to expand or for a quick outfit change. Micro straps of elasticized chiffon prevent a slit from becoming a sloppy situation mid-squat. Shoes—always heels, never platforms—are ordered one size smaller (she is normally a 38) and refitted with metal shanks. Says Celine, "We have to make haute couture industrial." And, more enigmatically: "The clothes follow me; I do not follow the clothes." Which is to say: the haute couture, with all its fragility and handcraft, has to perform professionally for Ms. Dion. And privately as well. Years ago, Celine bought a classic little black dress from the Christian Dior atelier when the house was overseen by John Galliano. It is simple, falling to mid calf, and narrow as can be with just a hint of stretch. It requires a minimum of jewelry, a statement bracelet or perhaps one of the major diamond rings she designed with her late husband Rene Angelil: two pear cuts set in a wide pave band, or two hearts of diamond and emerald abstractly interlocking, on a cushion of yet more diamonds. This LBD forces you to walk one foot in front of the other. This is a dress Celine knows well and clearly loves, the simplest evocation of the private luxury of couture and the total antithesis of the red carpet hoopla that attends the union of fashion and celebrity. It is also the dress she wore to Rene's funeral. #CelineTakesCouture Photo by @sophfei.

Selon la légende qui accompagne la photo, elle aurait été prise entre deux représentations, lors d’une séance d’essayage de costumes de scène. Le magazine révèle que Céline Dion opte volontiers pour des tenues de grands couturiers, dont Armani Prive, Schiaparelli, Giambattista Valli, ou encore Versace. Ces célèbres maisons ajustent ensuite chacune des créations portées par la chanteuse lors de ses concerts, en y ajoutant des pièces en Velcro pour que la diva puisse se changer aisément entre deux chansons.

Ce cliché a été pris dans le cadre d’un reportage autour de la chanteuse québécoise, qui est actuellement en pleine tournée européenne. Au travers d’une série d'images, réunis sous le hashtag #CelineTakesCouture, le magazine explore également la récente passion de la chanteuse pour le monde de la mode en cette semaine de Fashion Week à Paris.

La diva québécoise y apparait ainsi sortant d’une voiture, sur le point d’assister au défilé Dior, ou posant nonchalamment dans son immense dressing, contenant des dizaines de sacs de créateurs et d'innombrables de paires de chaussures. 

 

Celine Dion is frustrated by fashion's current revolving door policy, the relentless firings and hirings at the top (amen to that!). She is concerned that "the dream" of elegance is disappearing, for as much fun as she had in her beloved Vetements Titanic sweatshirt (and we have Law Roach for that brilliant post-ironic gesture!), she believe in the magic of hats, gloves and total looks, of a world in which Lisa Fonssagrives could step from the pages of Vogue and through the doors of today's Ritz. Mostly she laments the red carpet hordes with the incessant questions about whose clothes and jewels one is wearing. "Mine" is her answer. Fashion is public for Celine; jewelry is personal. Sometimes, when she is at home in Las Vegas and missing her partner Rene, she slips on a caftan and all her jewels, and quietly retreats to her bath, sans children, sans fans, sans circus. #CelineTakesCouture Photo by @sophfei.
