She dressed for the occasion in a striking custom look by Givenchy’s Sarah Burton.For the opening night of her 26 scheduled performances in Paris, Dion wore a dusty pink shredded-organza embroidered cape over an embroidered cutout dress, finishing the look with black pointed pumps. The custom ensemble was personally designed by Sarah Burton, who has been at the helm of Givenchy since 2024, and made her official debut in 2025.The look was suitably romantic and theatrical for a particularly emotional night. Dion opened the first full concert of her Paris engagement with “On Ne Change Pas” and was visibly moved as the audience welcomed her back to the stage. The singer went on to perform a career-spanning set that included hits like “All by Myself” and “My Heart Will Go On.”The performance marked Dion’s first full concert in more than six years. Her triumphant return comes after her public health struggles and limited appearances that followed.Givenchy – Nicolas GerardinHer other look of the evening was custom as well, via Dior. For the occasion, Jonathan Anderson designed an all-black, structured and buoyant pleated dress.“I made a promise to be back on stage,” she said. “So here I am, singing for you and singing for me, singing live! Thank you so very much for your support, your patience, and if I may say so, I am everything I am because you loved me.”Samir Hussein//Getty ImagesHer Paris residency is set to continue through October, with another series of shows scheduled for 2027.“Look around here,” the iconic singer said toward the end of the evening, according to Variety. “All around you...we don’t know what the person next to us is going through. There are people going through hardships, grief, and sorrow. There are people radiating energy and joy. So let’s take that energy and share it. That’s what music is for. Tonight, we’ll sing, we’ll dance, and we’ll celebrate.”
