Is Celine Dion 2016's Most Stylish Star? A Look at the Diva's Recent Fashion Transformation

Reinvention is arguably the key to maintaining the flames of stardom lit, and Celine Dion has indeed managed to add fuel to her own sartorial fire in 2016. At 48 years old, the five-time Grammy winner has never before really been associated with the fashion crowd, but the turn of a new leaf earlier this year--her longtime husband, Rene Angelil, sadly passed away in January--has got us continuously tapping for credits that include a list of designers any stylist would kill for.

So when did her recent makeover commence? As many unforgettable and risque style moments do, it all seems to have started on the red carpet at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, where Dion dazzled in a metallic gold dress from a relatively unknown Russian designer, Valentin Yudashkin, and stepped forward with sky-high Saint Laurent pumps along with an emotional performance that proved she was then prepared to be back on top.

Fast forward to the warm summer months and the icon, who just so happens to be working on a new fashion line, has taken to the streets of Paris to deliver one standout street style look after the next. Her secret weapon, it seems, is Law Roach, the stylist behind Zendaya's cool-girl look. Roach has successfully convinced the Canadian singer to not just wear classically minimalist designers like Jil Sander, but also fuse her look with in-the-know, streetwear favorites, like Off-White by Kanye West's dear pal Virgil Abloh. Most recently, with Roach once more at her side, Dion has been turning it out at the year's holy grail of fashion presentations: Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.

Take a look at major summer style moments that have defined Dion's new look, below. There's clearly a new Celine in our eyes, and that's the way it is.
