Celine Dion posa nua para revista de moda francesa

Celine Dion apareceu nua no Instagram da revista francesa Vogue, durante a troca de figurino para seus shows. Aos 49 anos, a cantora não só ostenta um corpo de dar inveja em muitos jovens, mas também tem fôlego equiparável: ela faz apresentações de duas horas, cinco ou seis vezes na semana, tudo em cima de um salto alto.

A intérprete de My Heart Will Go On conta com modelos exclusivos de grifes como Armani e Versace, adaptados com velcro e outros artifícios para agilizar a troca de roupa entre uma música e outra. Em entrevista à publicação, Celine faz uma ode à popularização da moda: “Precisamos industrializar a alta costura”.

Neste ano, Dion se apresentou em Las Vegas e está em uma miniturnê pela Europa. É um retorno da cantora que, nos últimos anos, afastou-se dos palcos para cuidar do marido, René Angélil, que morreu vítima de um câncer na garganta em 2016, aos 73 anos.

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.
