Celine Dion, 56, Poses in Unbuttoned Shirt & Tights amid Illness Battle, Sparking Heated Reactions

Celine Dion recently graced the cover of Vogue France, captivating audiences with her timeless beauty and high-fashion prowess. Yet, the internet buzzed with a mix of reactions, with some questioning its appropriateness for someone navigating health issues.

Celine Dion appeared as a cover model for Vogue France, where she boldly posed in a white unbuttoned Balenciaga shirt paired with Calzedonia tights, Balenciaga cycling mini-skirt, and Chopard earrings. Her confident pose displayed her modeling skills, revealing her lean physique.

Dion's daring photo ignited a wide range of reactions across the internet, spanning from worry to admiration. One concerned netizen commented, "I see her ribcage, doesn't look healthy."

Skeptics questioned her choice of attire. One asked, "Why do they come back nude?" while another expressed disbelief, saying, "Huh. I thought she had a bad hereditary disease??? Or is it a clone??"

Fashion critiques also entered the discussion. A disappointed netizen commented, "Vogue cover and that is what she is wearing!?" Furthermore, another speculated about her look, wondering, "So it's true she's wearing a wig?"

However, some admired Dion's looks. A fan said, "I'm glad that she's back and that she is well. But why does every female celebrity have to prove herself by posing naked or semi-naked, that's beyond me."

In addition to the questionable outfit, Dion dazzled in other high-fashion pieces throughout the shoot. She wore a Schiaparelli white ruffled blouse and tights, a cozy pink Alaïa quilted faux fur bubble coat with heels.

She also showed elegance in a striking brown and gold ensemble from Saint Laurent, complemented by Cartier jewelry and Christian Louboutin shoes. Another snapshot featured her in an elegant Jacquemus piece.

Aware of Dion's ongoing health struggles, a fan commented, "She still looks sick, I give her props for pushing forward !!!!!" Another praised her appearance, saying, "THAT HAIR IS SO PERFECT FOR HER."

Amid fans' and skeptics' reactions, Dion felt lucky to be the cover model for the magazine despite her condition. "Although I had better health and beauty at 30, I didn't get asked to do one then...I am being asked to reveal my beauty," she said.

Dion has openly discussed with Vogue her battle with stiff-person syndrome (SPS) and provided insights into her resilience and daily challenges. "I'm well, but it's a lot of work. I'm taking it one day at a time," she noted.

Despite her condition, Dion remains hopeful for a breakthrough, acknowledging she has yet to "beat the disease." Complementing her resilience, she dedicates herself to rigorous therapy, involving various exercises five days a week. Moreover, her relocation to Las Vegas offers significant benefits.

Living just 35 minutes away from work has granted Dion invaluable time to prepare and interact with her team. This arrangement also allows her to easily return home, see her children, and sleep in her bed

Dion stressed the importance of her family, fans, and medical team in her crucial battle against SPS. "People who suffer from SPS may not be lucky enough or have the means to have good doctors and good treatments. I have those means, and this is a gift," she emphasized.

Dion's Vogue France cover and interview came a month after she met The Boston Bruins hockey team in their locker room, dressed in cozy baby pink attire.

Here, amidst a circle of athletes poised for competition, Dion took center stage, not to sing but to engage in an act equally endearing. She was there to read the lineup, an honor typically reserved for those who share a special bond with the team.

Clad in tight pants paired with a matching calf-length overcoat, a scarf gently resting around her neck, and completing the look with beige boot heels, Dion's fashion statement was as striking as her presence.

The moment she stepped into the locker room, a wave of applause greeted her, a testament to the respect and admiration she commands. Introduced to the team, Dion quickly shifted the atmosphere from one of formality to light-hearted camaraderie.

With a playful nod to Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo, she quipped, "Thank you so much for getting ready for me tonight," eliciting laughter and further endearing herself to everyone in the room.

As Dion announced the names of the players, each call was met with applause. Her visit was more than a mere reading of names; it was a display of joy and strength, traits that have defined her career and personal battles alike.

This heartwarming encounter comes at a time when fans have been particularly concerned about Dion's health. Fans quickly voiced their support and admiration on social media with messages of love and encouragement.

One fan expressed, "God, I missed this woman and her amazing insanity. She WILL be back on stage, and I will be there the first night." Another shared, "I'm soooo happy to see her doing much better!"

The sentiment was echoed by many, with comments like, "So cool, especially after all that amazing lady has been dealing with," and "She looks so much healthier."

Aside from meeting the hockey team, Celine Dion also graced this year's Grammy Awards in February. Despite her diagnosis, she attended the ceremony in style and even engaged in vocalization with Sonyae Elise backstage.

The younger singer posted a short video with Dion singing and harmonizing behind the scenes. Dion looked breathtaking in a white ensemble with gold accessories, while Elise donned a purple dress.

Social media users who came across the post couldn't help but comment on Dion's appearance and voice. "You look great as usual & Celine," one person wrote in the comments section.

"So.Inspiring to see Celine, has brought so much Joy and to all with her Music, a Legend [sic]," another added. "I'm crying!" a third claimed. "It's been too long since the last time we heard Celine singing live," noted another.

Celine Dion also shared behind-the-scenes photos from the event, where she donned a chic Maison Valentino ensemble styled by Luxury Law. Her stylist also shared similar snaps, revealing in the post that Dion was "HEALTHY AND HAPPY!"
