Dear "Celine Fan 77", I hope you don't mind asking: But how verified is this date? In my compendium I do have the day before (Oct. 17) at the Zenith. Unfortunately I can't remember where I once found that information. Could well be it was false by then. So if you do have a trusted source, that would help. Thank you very much in advance and for the pictures with the unusual hair styling.

Aaah! OK. Although Getty unfortunately has a lot mistakes (wrote them several times to correct data) - but let's hope this time it's the right information!
Thank you very much!

I think she did the Zenith after? That's when Live a Paris was recorded right?

Yes, the Zenith de Paris, but I meant "Zenith de Lille"  that was on Oct. 17. 
Zenith de Paris (with the recordings) followed from Oct. 20-24.

Oh, I thought there was one Zenith in France lol

I find it weird there was no rest between the October 17th and 18th shows, considering it was a different country, no time to move all stage equipment, sound checks etc, and above all, rest her voice...I think a few dates are off here

 No, those Zenith's really confuse us  According to Wikipedia: "Large concert halls in France are usually called "Zénith". There are currently 18 Zeniths, and a 19th is under construction in Le Port on Réunion Island, an overseas department." (Well, in fact "Zénith de La Réunion" was abandonned in 2014. And I don't know if all the others still exist.)

Well - you are absolutely right I too asked myself how she did those tours with every day performances - as there was also a lot of other stuff in between. And, yes, could well be that Wikipedia doesn't have the correct dates. But, unfortunately, I don't know any other trustful source - so nerds (like me) who do have Céline compendiums unfortunately have to depend on that. Always hoping to find information to verify, what was collected over the years.

Well, Lille and Brussels are not that far away at all, but anyway where your point is right is about resting : don't forget that a few days after that Céline would lose her voice on stage in Paris and the last Paris show would be canceled... She really was under pressure at that time.

Ran again over this (bad quality) page from a magazine in 1998 (maybe "MacCalls" of June 1998?) Does someone of you have that magazine and would be so kind to post a scan of it (mostly of the caption). Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you very much for your effort to put together the pictures and even search for the magazine. Very kind of you!  In fact I'm not 100 % sure if that bad quality picture I have was taken of that issue of "McCall's" and 29 US$ is a lot of money, only to read the caption.  I always hoped they mentioned in it the designers (but that's also something I don't know). So - a lot of "question marks" and I hoped someone on the remaining few who still visit this forum/topic owns this magazine.

The bigger text says this:

Celine sitting pretty. "Success is wonderful, but what is most fulfilling is being able to touch people with my music."

 

The small text is hard to figure out

Very kind of you, dear "MaiconSC". But, unfortunately, the interesting part is the non-readable text, where I hope the designer(s) of the clothes is/are mentioned.

OMG! I can hardly believe my eyes!!!!  This is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo kind of you!!!!!!!!!! I've been searching for that since ages! And such good scans as well and the "merchandise" page with FINALLY the designer of her outfit ("... let the search for the items start immediately", shouts the nerd in me )
THANK YOU SO MUCH, dear "tshlw", for all your efforts! You brought big joy!!!! Thank youuuuuuuuuuu.

You are very welcome. I never thought about the designers being credited on another page so now  I will remember to look for that when I scan articles in.

The designers aren't always credited. Depends on the magazine and if the pictures were done especially for the article. 
In case you detect something in the near future - please think of me too , if I may be so bold to kindly ask. Although it isn't always said that a fashion search gets totally easy, but it's definitively a major first step to know at least the designer! 
By the way: Halston, which she was wearing for the "McCalls"-session also created the dazzling look for her Grammy performance in 1998 (which was later ranked on #2 of the most memorable Grammy moments of all-time). And she also wore a piece by Randolph Duke's own label (Duke was chief designer of Halston) for the Grammy of the next year. That dress was auctioned off in 2017.
