Celine Dion has opened Paris Fashion Week with a surprise performance beneath the Eiffel Tower.
The Canadian singer belted out her 2002 hit "I'm Alive" at the close of L'Oreal's annual runway show, dressed in a black velvet gown, reports BBC.
Diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological condition, in 2022, she was later joined on stage by the brand's ambassadors, including Viola Davis, Simone Ashley, Aja Naomi King, and Eva Longoria.
The appearance follows Dion's comeback concert in Paris earlier this month, her first show since 2020, according to BBC.
Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne also walked the runway, in a sheer black halterneck dress and a sparkling red gown respectively.
Rihanna had a front row seat at Matières Fécales, the label behind Zendaya's angel-wings dress at The Odyssey premiere in New York this summer.
Cynthia Erivo attended a Tiffany event at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
The week of women's spring/summer collections, running until Oct 6, also features Louis Vuitton, Tom Ford, Schiaparelli, Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier, Balenciaga, and Loewe, according to BBC.
Attention turns to Dior and Chanel, where new creative heads Jonathan Anderson and Matthieu Blazy are expected to sharpen their vision.
