The Celinish Closet

Well, the only dress that comes into my mind at the moment which is SLIGHTLY similar is the Vauthier robe Céline wore at the "Aretha Grammy Celebration" in 2019

By the way: Cynthia's wearing a piece of Marni, RTW Fall 2025 - so researches if Céline might have worn that too can't dig very far in the past. So I'm 100 % sure she didn't wear it. But certainly an interesting dress which also might fit her.

oh thank you for the answer!

maybe it was the colors that looked familiar to me...

and I totally see Celine using it...

Yeah. She wore some beige silk Lanvin pieces in the past - or that gorgeous Valentino ensemble in 2019 - it's a great color on her IMO.

A late-night find.  The only thing missing is the date and location of Céline's photo (any relevant information would be highly welcome!).

I was really surprised to see that she was already wearing something by a Japanese designer like Yohji Yamamoto back in the early ’90s. That was before she even had her own stylist. I’d be curious to know how she first came across this designer back then. Or the picture was taken during/after her concerts in Japan in 1992 while she bought this item there? Who could answer?

Wow, one of the most wtf outfits she ever wore! Carolyne Bassett Kennedy was a HUGE fan of his minimalist designs in the mid-late 90s

The picture was taken in late 1992, early 1993 (check the razor thin eyebrows. If not mistaken at a hotel lobby in Paris, around that time while doing interviews)

Yeah, you are right! The eyebrows are an indicator of the approx. time. So definitively not my guess of 1991.
But for the rest I was hoping for a more exact information. Could be Paris. Could be Montreal. Could be anywhere. Presumably a foto session for an interview as I've found two other pictures today. Damn, I've had so much of this "old stuff" before my computer decided to destroy the majority of my files by the end of 2011 ... 

But: "the most wtf outfit"  - then how would you describe the Balmain snakeskin nightmare-outfit of June 28, 2017???  (This is for me the "most wtf outfit" she ever chose!)

She had so many wtf fashion moments and I'm all here for it!! She is always ahead of the game

The top was initially found by Frida, just a few days ago I found better details pictures of the "Zadig & Voltaire".

The shoes looks like to be one of her favorites by that time - based on the amount of events she wore them. And they not only look great - but fit perfectly to any kind of her outfits.

Today I do have one of the many Chanel-findings, which are mostly more easy to find the more years have passed, when pieces can be found on multiple vintage platforms. But this one needed time to be detected. Although having the very typical Chanel signs like the quilting and bag handles with woven leather strap I only found it by chance, while searching something completely different and not even Céline related some years ago. And so the picture of 1996 made a deep sigh of relief as it was released from the "Someday-I-might-find-it"-file. 

Quite interesting's the fact that Céline let herself a little bit be inspired for one of the bags of her own collection for Spring/Summer 2020

Damn! The dedication you have. 

I admire this and I have to thank you for sharing all of these with us. 
Many great findings. I cannot image how her fill dressing might look. 
I would ve loved to see more of her warehouse, wouldnt we all?

Oh, thank you very much. Such a lovely compliment out of the blue! Makes me very happy! 
Yeah, looks like I can't hide it that meanwhile I've become a true "Céline Fashion Searching Nerd"  - since I'm meanwhile retired I do have a lot of time to  - although searching in the "old fashioned way" like I do - and how Frida taught me - (without the use of AI and only rarely with "GoogleLens") becomes more and more difficult as obviously AI more and more influences the results of keyword searches on Google or other searching machines in a very often useless way. Unfortunately!

Oh Gosh! YEAH! I would LOVE to see more of her warehouses - or at least the "content lists". Together with "celine_dion_faces" we've already detected a lot of warehouse items in the screencaps of "I AM ..." Quite interesting to recognize pieces she had worn in the past.
In case you haven's seen: I've already posted in 7 "episodes" all the findings so far of the warehouse:

She has an amazing wardrobe but wears a white shirt so often,  and always looks so good in that. Could we please have a few of the pics added  here of the times she's worn a white shirt?

Sure, with pleasure. But: Do you mean a plain white t-shirt, or a shirt with buttons (blouse)? A white shirt with pattern? Long sleeves? Short sleeves? Or no sleeves at all? Meanwhile nearly everything to be found in my collection of all "CelinishCloset"-findings ... 
But (No. 2.): In case you do mean a plain white t-shirt: Those are extremely difficult to detect in case they don't have any significant details or visible labels. And you won't believe how many plain t-shirts are to be found on this planet from nearly all existing labels. For the start a little gem of my collection, which I found four years ago by chance as it was part of an online auction - interestingly it didn't receive not one single bid (both times!).

A shirt with a  collar, buttons and long sleeves pushed up 😄 often with buttons half undone

Very cool! What do you mean with no bids? Was the actual shirt that Céline wore on auction!? 😮 Or was it "just" the shirt? lol

Oh, dear "scarletpimpernel": Those are very, very, very, very difficult/impossible to find. Even with HQ pictures where you can "study" buttons, stitching and with details like f.ex. the little "shoulder strap" on the "My Love"-cover. I once tried to find both shirts (the "My love" and the Dana Fineman Foto session one) - but I had to give up (after checking 10.000+ shirts your eyes start to flicker ... ). 

But here's a little collection of white shirts with collar.

Well, of course it was the actual shirt she wore (together with the jacket). Came with a "Certificate of Authenticity": https://gottahaverockandroll.com/Celine_Dion__Unison__Album_Worn_Black_Leather_Roll-LOT45938.aspx

oh  that is really cool! Totally missed that! would have loooooooooved to have bid on this.... if I had 2000 dollars laying around!  It's a shame no one bought it tho... I haven't heard anything about it at the time. They should have promoted it more.

What I thought was really cool from Cher's residency in Vegas, is that they had costumes on display in the Colosseum. Céline should have definitely done that too! Like this Unison outfit, or the white kimono from the LTAL tour, the Titanic dress from the Oscars etc.

Yes - I think the problem was that the auction wasn't promoted very well. If a friend of my former boyfriend wouldn't have drawn my attention to that auction page (he was a total Queen fanatic and spent a fortune for Queen items) I wouldn't have discovered either. Since then I regularly check if the do have again items of Céline on auction. 

And, yes! Although I never had been to Las Vegas - but I too would have LOVED to see outfits of her on display. Mainly to see the details like the jumpsuit the wore underneath the Annie Horth Kimono. That one was exhibited in Montreal 2014. Or the unbelievable beautiful "Dior Eiffel Tower gown" (which is I guess still to be seen in the "La Galerie Dior" in Paris - https://www.galeriedior.com/en )

WOW! That's a great compilation! It was so much fun then to find these pieces. And on top of that: The conversation about these things and the cooperation with you were very joyful and still are. So thank you, @drove all night, for awakening this passion in me! 

I'm looking forward for the new clothes Céline will wear in the nearest future.

And with great pleasure did I help to ignite the fashion passion in you - similar like Frida once did to me ... 18 years ago (GOSH!!!)!
And yes, I am also looking forward to all the new clothes - as well as new discoveries from the past.

I already tried to find the coat, but - so far not successful. But I was not very focused as this deeply moving song also stormed my heart immediately and I cried alot today! What a big brightly shining "apple" she did serve us all today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, dear Davey, I've found it a while ago. The only thing I'm still searching are better pictures of Céline's performance. I only do have those bad quality screencaps unfortunately.

But thank you very much for posting it here.

So - here we go. Although I'm not 100 % sure it's correct. I hoped for a better HQ picture where the buttons of the coat can be detected. But since celine_dion_faces also ran about this coat I think we'll leave it for the moment like that.

The fully verifying of the pants can only be made when hopefully one day additional pictures are released. So I'm not 100 % sure if they are of that Romanian label.
