I'm simply speechless regarding this Hommage on a legendary Chanel outfit they chose for today's 13th concert. 

All fans do know it, as well as the funny story about the "serious chest", she told Jay Leno in the same year she wore the original: https://youtu.be/dsPVnWVjEN0?si=dr1nJ4kSkfhTyJ9p&t=195

Looks like it's not the same necklace she was wearing in 1997: That one had six trails of the comet, today's one has only five (at least as much as I can detect on the videos). So could well be, they re-did the one of 1997.

 

this is now my absolute favorite look of the residence!

Mine too!! As well as the original one of the Academy Awards 1997 - one of my absolute favorite outfits she ever chose to wear!

I know she is not wearing them tonight, but Celine actually owns something from the Comet collection...

Yeah! Although I have to say, the first time I read about it in her book "My Story, My Dream" in 2000 the first thought was: They gifted "lousy little" diamond stars to a customer who bought nearly every piece of Chanel since decades!!  

Here's a better view on those earrings and some occasions, she was wearing them:

HERE IT IS! The official Chanel-posting I was hoping to see very soon: The Making-Of that unbelievable beautiful new opening dress, custom made just for her:

"CHANEL Haute Couture for Céline Dion—the making of the dress.  
A glimpse into the savoir-faire behind Céline Dion’s custom CHANEL Haute Couture dress, imagined by Matthieu Blazy. The look was entirely handmade by the ateliers at 31 Rue Cambon in Paris, with a special embroidery by Atelier Montex, a Maison d’art resident at le19M." 

At the Insta-Posting you can also see a little video: https://www.instagram.com/p/Defpb0riG5U/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&xtok=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

EDIT: @ Vogue Magazine you can read more information about the making, which lasted 1,380 hours to hand-embroider 6,000 jewels and 5,000 beads:

B.t.w. "Atelier Montex" is famous for its hand embroidery and Cornely (that's embroidery done with a special machine) for Haute Couture.

As I guessed: The High Jewelry necklace Céline was wearing yesterday was also re-created as a homage to the original Chanel necklace she wore in 1997. The new Comète necklace is made of platinum, 18-karat white gold, and 1,080 diamonds that totaled more than 67 carats. According to Chanel, the piece is an emblematic 1932 design from Gabrielle Chanel’s only High Jewelry collection, titled Bijoux de Diamants.

The original necklace of 1997 had six comet-trails

And yesterday's evening look by Rick Owens. 

PS: Thomas, please don't ask me about her underwear - presumably Rick Owens too

Good god that’s a lot of crystals 😅 Also are those… pockets?

Any information on what happened to the original necklace? Seems easier for Celine or Chanel to pull it out of the vault if they still had it..!

Well, who knows! Since @ the Met Gala in 2017 she confessed that she insisted to attach pockets to her Versace-gown, so she can bring her ticket and a "little tissue just in case" https://youtu.be/eiZx_Ud9dDs?si=IDYECvnCJQMYCKPL ... aaand, as we do know know, she needs a "mouchoir" close at hand, so, maybe in those Chanel pockets there's her VIP badge and a mouchoir. 

No, seriously: Although I don't know certified, but I'm 99 % sure those are not real pockets. Just a funny little design detail

And reg. the original necklace. Unfortunately so far I didn't read if she kept it or what happened to it. I'm pretty sure it wasn't auctioned off (since this would be quite huge and would not have gone unnoticed). So maybe it's still in that gigantic vault in one of her warehouses. I like to think that it was a sign of huge respect towards her by Chanel that they not only re-did the gown, but the shoes and necklace too!

Call me a "fool" (and definitively a nerd too), but somehow I'm moved, that Massaro also custom made the shoes for her yesterday's outfit, like they did in 1997. The original shoes where auctioned off in 1997 (https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-1691169?ldp_breadcrumb=back&intObjectID=1691169&from=salessummary&lid=1) 

Massaro, founded in 1894, cooperated with the major Couture houses, created in 1957 the most famous two-tone Chanel-shoes and became a Chanel-owned company in 1997.

Unfortunately I couldn't manage to find pictures or videos of yesterday, where the shoes could be seen more clearly. So in case someone up here could help, I would highly appreciate. Hey, folks who attend her concerts: Please take pictures of her feet!

And now Atelier Montex also posted something additional about the Chanel dress:

"For CHANEL, Atelier Montex created the embroidery for this exceptional dress worn by Céline Dion. Composed of 6,000 jewels and 5,000 beads, it unfolds in a delicate shimmer of rhinestones, glass beads, and faceted glass crystals—all embroidered using the Lunéville crochet hook and the needle. The neckline is delicately accented with raffia."

PS: For those who don't know: "Raffia" are fibrous leaves of the raffia palm (Raphia), a natural material valued for being lightweight, strong, flexible, and easy to dye.

yeah i was shocked to read that... Raffia is like.. used in primary schools in south east asia for art class 🤣 I too can be an atelier-er...

And finally Dior put out at least a tiny bit of information regarding that coat Céline first presented on Oct. 10:

"Her custom gown by Jonathan Anderson reinterprets the iconic Cyclone dress from Christian Dior’s Autumn-Winter 1948 collection."

Once again, she should’ve worn the original

On my way to Paris by train I had time to look for fashion. And finally, I found it.

I don't know why my mind didn't go straight to it.

The sculpture cuff is ALAÏA Spring 2025 Look 20.

More about the "Serpenti"-Bracelet of Bvlgari - definitively not the one she was wearing in Riyhad 2024, as I've had a little guess:

https://www.celinedionforum.com/topic/34532-the-celinish-closet/page/403/#findComment-2492603

But, man, there are quite a lot of the famousssss Bvlgari-sssssnakes out there and she wassss wearing quite sssssome of them: on her fingerssss, wrissssst and neck. sssss ....

Yes! You are right! Not my favorite. IMO those chains around her neck aren't very flattering.

Yes, you are right! In choosing the major Haute Couture temples of fashion who have their roots in Paris like Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Vuitton, Bouchron a.s.o. that was a huge sign of Céline towards some one the major fashion players!

[drove all night]

She's certainly one of Céline's favorite shops in Paris (like she was captured by press photographers in 2017): Fifi Chachnil, famous for her lingerie. Madame Chachnil (her real name's Delphine Véron) posted today such lovely pictures of Céline. And, yes, the nerd in me couldn't help it and try to find two of the pieces. 

PS: Looks like she attended Chachnil's shop on her "day off", while she was shopping at Repetto - based on the Phoebe Philo earrings which can be detected on the pictures.

WOW !

this post is so amazing!!! great to see these kind of pictures... amazing job @drove all night !!!

[drove all night]

It's a little difficult to detect 100 % just from screenshots taken from a video, which was recorded in the dark and lit only by a flash. But let's say I'm 98 % sure she was wearing Saint Laurent for a surely emotional return to the hotel from her last concert yesterday night. Additional while  beloved Paris was nearly drowning in horribly riots in aggression where it's hard to find words - and here's certainly not the right place to do so.
