Celine Dion and fashion

According to an article published on "W" fashion magazine, in September 2007, Celine Dion is one of the few celebrities
who prefer to acquire their fancy gowns the old-fashioned way - by buying them. Gilles Mendel, designer of J. Mendel,
insists that Dion has never even mentioned borrowing a dress from him. "It's really rare", he says of Celine's buy-only
policy. "It reveals a different personality. She is really classy".

That same magazine published this beautiful pictures of Celine, wearing Martin Margiela, Vera Wang, Lanvin, and Alberta
Ferretti dresses, and shoes by Christian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent.

A fashion-forward look meant a "backward" coat and a sly fedora designed by John Galliano, from the House of Christian Dior.

to be considered the
worst dressed celebrity of the ceremony. It should be noted, however, that fashion critic from "The International Herald
Tribune" was a fan and that "Women's Wear Daily" applauded Dion's chutzpah.

With Andrea Bocelli, singing "The Prayer", at the Oscars 1999In January 2000, Celine was named by fashion maven Richard
Blackwell, the second worst dressed celebrity of the world, because of this reverse white tuxedo. He had added,

or going: a profusion of confusion".
