Celine Dion’s Stylist On The Art of Dressing Extra

Varsity-Inspired Gucci

Streetwear brands and varsity-inspired pieces like Gucci’s matching separates that the singer wore out in Paris, are key players in Dion’s style transformation.

Jaw-Dropping Couture

“My absolute favorite look wasn’t a street style look, and I almost retired after it because I was like, ‘What can I possibly do better than that?’, Roach tells us of the billowing, winged-sleeve Stephane Rolland Couture dress that Dion wore for her performance of “My Heart Will Go On” at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards. “I literally fangirl over that look as if I didn’t do it. Sometimes I’ll be stuck in traffic in an Uber in L.A. and I’ll go to Youtube and watch that performance. I get goosebumps every single time.”

Thigh-High Balmain Boots

The head-to-toe Balmain outfit that Dion wore while out in Paris included a pair of the brand’s thigh-high boots. Paired with a floor-grazing coat, graphic tee, and black leather hat, she looked like a total badass.

A Monochromatic Moment

Roach tells us that he’s a fan of full-on monochromatic looks as demonstrated by Dion’s all-white outfit by Ralph & Russo that she wore during couture week this summer in Paris.

Floral Jacquard Coat & Green Accents

This floral woven Gucci jacket worn with coordinating green silk pants and accessories is just one of many examples of the chic turn Dion’s style has taken in the last year.

Badass Black Leather Overalls

Dion’s Gucci black leather overalls, rhinestone-covered sunglasses, and 2012 Kanye West x Giuseppe Zanotti collaboration heels that she wore in Paris this summer? Cool as hell.

Rose Everything

Further proving that Roach is a fan of a monochromatic moment? He tells us that this all-rose outfit that Dion wore in Paris earlier this summer is one of this favorite looks that he’s done since working with the singer. ” Part of my style is that I love monochromatic looks,” he tells us. “It exploded on Tumblr and everybody’s Pinterest boards and I thought that was really cool.”

Hypebeast-Approved PJs

That Louis Vuitton x Supreme collaboration that was impossible for even the biggest streetwear-enthusiasts to get their hands on? It was no problem for Dion who effortlessly wore a matching pajama set from the collabortation while out in Paris this summer.

A Meta Denim & Sweatshirt Moment

Although Roach was afraid to bring this Titanic Vetements sweatshirt to Dion because he though she would find it cheesy, the risk paid off. The effortless hoodie and denim outfit was the catalyst that brought all of the attention to Dion’s new style.

While Roach says that he doesn’t think Dion plays favorites when it comes to her outfits, he does belive that she favors low-key denim moments like this one. “She probably loves the jeans and t-shirt moments more than anything, honestly,” he says. “To her determent, a lot of people thought that Celine was older than she was because the way she came out and being in Vegas, she was always so ‘madame’. I don’t want to be mean to someone else’s work, but the way she dressed kind of made her seem way older than she was. When I first told people I was starting to work with her they would always ask if she was 60. I’m like, “No, she’s 49; she’s younger than Halle Berry”. I think that it was because of how she dressed that the world perceived her as a bit older, and the fact that she’s been singing for 30 years. It was my personal mission to let people see her in a different way because she’s a young, beautiful woman who’s just so vivacious and full of life. It was my goal to use fashion to show the world that, and I think it kind of worked.”

The Power of Python

When it came to this outfit she wore in Paris, there was no such thing as too much snakeskin for Dion. Roach paired the singer’s black oversized turtleneck with a coordinating python Balmain coat and thigh-high boots, and a gray bag from Dion’s epyonymous line.
