Céline Dion pairs her Givenchy peplum jacket with 2026’s must-have denim
Raw denim paired with a haute couture jacket: the kind of contrast that only a handful of people can pull off with such effortless ease. In Paris to prepare for her concerts at La Défense Arena, Céline Dion once again turned a hotel exit into a fashion moment, this time choosing a Givenchy silhouette.
A highly anticipated return to Paris for Céline Dion
It was on 28 August 2026 that the Quebec singer touched down in the French capital, checking into the Royal Monceau. The goal is clear: to begin rehearsals ahead of her concert series opening on 12 September at La Défense Arena. Her schedule is packed as she works to return to the stage in the best possible shape.
Yet between working sessions, the diva never fails to delight the photographers and fans who gather outside her hotel every day, just a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe. Each outing has become an eagerly awaited event, almost an open-air runway show.
Since her arrival, the singer has already racked up several standout appearances: first a beige Alaïa trench coat, then a feather-trimmed leather dress by Loewe, worn during a warm moment with fans on Tuesday, 1 September. With this third outing, she shifts register while maintaining her exacting style standards.
The Givenchy peplum jacket: the centrepiece of the look
For this latest appearance, Céline Dion chose a black duchess satin peplum jacket by Givenchy under the creative direction of Sarah Burton. The piece stands out for its double-breasted fastening, structured shoulders and beautifully defined waist. The overall effect is one of immediate sophistication, entirely in keeping with the house’s signature.
What makes the silhouette particularly compelling is the decision not to play it safe with a classic tailored look. Rather than pairing the jacket with a skirt or matching trousers, the singer chose to cut through its couture edge with a pair of jeans. This mixing of genres, designer piece meets everyday denim, gives the look a dimension that is at once accessible and sharply considered.
The jeans that make all the difference
The pair chosen by Céline Dion is anything but ordinary. They are raw-finish jeans with a straight, slightly flared cut, their deliberately frayed hem trailing loose threads. This raw-edge finish, far removed from the heavily distressed denim of previous seasons, brings a more natural, contemporary feel.
The choice aligns perfectly with the denim trends of 2026. Straight-leg jeans are making a major comeback on the runways, notably at Acne Studios, while slightly flared cuts are firmly establishing themselves this season. Wearing this kind of jean with a couture jacket is precisely what current trends are encouraging: softening a statement piece with a more relaxed bottom half.

Accessories that sharpen the silhouette
To complete the look, the singer opted for black pointed-toe leather heels. The shoe choice elongates the silhouette and reinforces the jacket’s chic edge without weighing the outfit down.
On the accessories front, the aviator sunglasses with a vintage tortoiseshell frame add a welcome retro touch. The detail gives the whole ensemble the air of an ultra-sharp working girl, a precise balance of couture, denim and vintage accessories that defines this appearance.
After Alaïa and Loewe, Givenchy: what will the next Parisian look be?
Céline Dion seems determined to turn every Parisian outing into a genuine fashion moment. After Alaïa, Loewe and now Givenchy, the question naturally arises: which house will the singer choose for her next appearance in the capital? Fans and photographers alike will certainly be watching.
