Céline Dion brings back the plaid trend with her €4,200 Saint Laurent jacket
At €4,200 a piece, the Saint Laurent jacket worn by Céline Dion outside her Parisian hotel was enough to set off a genuine frenzy. Far from a throwaway choice, the look confirms the powerful comeback of a pattern many had written off as a relic of wardrobes past.
A plaid Saint Laurent jacket that reignites a trend
Plaid tweed is back in a big way, and Céline Dion is delivering its most dazzling proof of concept. The Saint Laurent jacket she stepped out in this Wednesday stands out for its single button and notched lapel, two details that give it a distinctly assertive character. Priced at €4,200, the piece is the very definition of Parisian chic.
To complete the look, the singer paired the jacket with a patterned yellow skirt and high heels. A sleek updo crowned the ensemble, precise and understated. Every element of the outfit contributes to a stylistic coherence that very few artists manage to pull off with such effortless ease.
This is hardly the first time Céline Dion has made a serious style statement since arriving in Paris on 28 August. Pieces by Loewe, Givenchy, Dior and Bottega Veneta have already punctuated her daily appearances outside the Royal Monceau. The Saint Laurent jacket is simply the latest chapter in a series of luxury looks that keeps her fans on tenterhooks every single day.
What her daily appearances outside the Royal Monceau reveal
Since arriving in Paris, Céline Dion has made it a habit to appear outside her hotel, the Royal Monceau, almost every day. These moments are far more than simple outings: the singer sings with her crowd right there in the street, shares personal confidences and showers her fans with declarations of love. Those who witness these scenes describe them as utterly timeless.
Yet the singer had warned that she would rest as much as possible before her concerts began. In practice, she simply could not resist the pull of her audience. Because for each of these appearances, the question of style is treated with the same seriousness as the music itself. Showing up anything less than impeccably dressed is clearly not an option for her.
- Arrived in Paris on 28 August
- Near-daily appearances outside the Royal Monceau
- Looks by Loewe, Givenchy, Dior, Bottega Veneta and Saint Laurent
- Concerts at the Plenitude Arena through 17 October
- Message to fans: wear comfortable shoes
What the Plenitude Arena concerts promise the audience
The shows begin in two days and run at the Plenitude Arena through 17 October. Between exchanges with fans outside the hotel, Céline Dion has already given a clear indication of what audiences can expect. Her message is straightforward: comfortable shoes are a must.
In other words, spectators will not be sitting quietly in their seats. The singer intends to have her audience singing, dancing and buzzing with energy for the entire duration of the show. After a long absence due to her illness, the return to the stage promises to be intense, both emotionally and physically.
What’s more, given the succession of carefully curated looks seen since late August, the stage costumes are shaping up to be every bit as spectacular as the occasion demands. The Saint Laurent jacket and the other luxury pieces worn in recent weeks offer a tantalising preview of what concert outfits might look like. Ticket holders have been well and truly warned on every front.
Céline Dion’s mastery of fashion codes, confirmed look after look
What these Parisian weeks make clear is that Céline Dion does not simply wear luxury clothing. She understands the codes of fashion and uses them to send powerful signals. The plaid tweed Saint Laurent jacket is the most recent example of this, and also the most telling.
By choosing houses such as Saint Laurent, Dior and Bottega Veneta for her daily outings, she is confirming the return of certain trends to a very wide audience. Every appearance outside the Royal Monceau is watched and dissected, turning a simple hotel exit into a genuine style statement. The plaid Saint Laurent jacket, in particular, illustrates how one standout piece can be enough to reignite interest in an entire pattern.
