In a candid interview with Vogue, Celine Dion opened up about her emotional appearance at the 2024 Grammys earlier this year. The singer, who was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome last year, explained her decision to wear a mustard yellow coat while presenting the Grammy for Album of the Year. She admitted that the coat provided her with a sense of comfort and helped her hide from the overwhelming surroundings. Dion’s surprise appearance at the awards ceremony was met with a standing ovation, which she said was a touching moment for her.
Dion also reflected on her fashion journey, from her modest upbringing to her current status as a style icon. She recalled her childhood, where she wore hand-me-downs and mended her own clothes. It was only after her early successes that she could afford to buy designer clothing. Dion emphasized her belief in purchasing her own clothes, respecting the people who come to her shows and the designers she admires.
Dion’s emotional Grammy appearance and personal fashion story highlight her strength and resilience in the face of challenges. Her ability to find comfort in both her fashion choices and the support of her son, René-Charles, is a testament to her indomitable spirit.
