Céline Dion is dazzling the runway.
On Wednesday, Nov. 13, the singer hit the stage in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to perform at the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab fashion show in celebration of the Lebanese designer’s 45-year fashion career.
Per The Standard, Dion closed out the ceremony with her 1993 hit “The Power of Love” and 2002’s “I’m Alive,” as she sported a glamorous pink floor-length gown, embellished with sequins.
The five-time Grammy winner, 56, also styled her hair in a slick low bun, while accessorizing with silver sparkly earrings, rings and bangles.
According to The Standard, Dion began her performance with “The Power of Love,” while the models walked past her. She then transitioned to “I’m Alive” before walking off the runway with Saab, 60.
Dion was also captured arriving on the red carpet in a pink ensemble with large ruffles on each shoulder and a sheer cape.

Meanwhile, the star was snapped backstage posing alongside fellow performers of the night Jennifer Lopez and Camila Cabello, as well as actress Halle Berry and designer Saab.
Dion’s appearance in Saudi Arabia comes after she performed onstage for the first time since revealing her stiff-person-syndrome diagnosis in 2022.
The legend’s comeback show saw her sing Edith Piaf’s classic “Hymne A L’Amour” at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony in July, before releasing her official live version of the song in October.
Dion wore a custom gown designed by Italian fashion designer Maria Grazia Chiuri for the latter performance. The dress featured details that included 1,640 feet of beaded fringing.
“Thanks to everyone at @paris2024, @olympics and @dior who helped make this dream come true,” the Canadian singer wrote on Instagram the day after the performance.
“And now, it’s already time to go! I will miss you Paris! – Celine xx … ” Dion added.
