Celine Dion is globally known for her technically sound, powerful vocals, but she's also been equally acknowledged for her risk-taking style. From wearing the hottest couture looks on the red carpet to elevated outfits in the streets of New York, Dion has allowed her personal style to evolve with her while staying true to her bold, daring personality.
In recent years, her collaborations with Law Roach (the mastermind behind Zendaya's elevation to fashion It-girl) have boosted the French-Canadian's style profile, but let's be clear: She has served looks since her claim to fame in the '80s. Below, we've rounded up 28 of Dion's best fashion moments of all time.
