50+ and fabulous as a wife, mother, singer and fashion icon.

Céline Dion took the world by the storm back in the 90s with her voice and heartbreaking ballads. Fast forward two decades, this Canadian lady still can sing. But in addition to that, she’s one of the most inspiring fashion lovers in the world. Younger generations fell in love with Dion all over again in the past two years. They rewarded her with a hashtag, Dionaissance. So, what’s so intriguing about Céline Dion and her fashion choices?

There’s no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It’s beautiful, I call that beauty.

The Canadian singer is 51 going on 52, and she was never what you’d call a traditional beauty. When she was younger, her videos and outfits were never exciting. She was famous for her voice, and her marriage to 28 year older René Angélil, music producer. The couple shares three children.

I’ve never been cool – and I don’t care.

Céline Dion took a break from the music business to take care of her dying husband. Once the pain of his death was bearable, the Canadian star started to go on fashion shows, and it seems, in some ways, that fashion was a distraction. Getting lost in the Haute Couture world, the world of beauty soon made Dion one of the hottest faces in the fashion crowd.

Life is short, can’t we just have a good time?

Her statement shoes and tres chic suits created a new era for the singer: Dionaissance. She’ll be touring later in 2020, and it’s clear that Céline Dion’s style is going to take over another fashion year. Dionaissance is about being 50+ and fabulous. You can wear eccentric and daring clothes because, as Dion stated, ”Life is short.” This truthful yet straightforward statement further proves that once the singer was faced with mortality and loss, she realized she could sink or swim. And she’s swimming, inspiring us and giving us plenty of reasons to enjoy every time she’s out and about, whether it’s a show, a day with her kids or just another trip to the nearest Balenciaga boutique.
