Céline Dion covers Harper’s Bazaar in Bulgari jewels and fur
Céline Dion’s jewels are nothing short of titanic.
The pop icon, 58, covers Harper’s Bazaar’s September issue in a show-stopping Bulgari choker necklace, its centerpiece a 49-carat cushion-cut tanzanite stone in a deep, saturated blue surrounded by more than 4 carats of diamonds.
The shoot marks her anticipated return to the stage after a six-year absence, during which she has battled the harrowing symptoms of stiff person syndrome; her five-week run at Paris La Défense Arena begins Sept. 12.
Dion wears the Tubogas necklace — an 18-karat pink gold piece inlaid with lapis lazuli and turquoise, the brand confirms to Page Six Style — with a maroon taffeta Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello jacket, its oversized black shearling collar shrugged off her shoulder.
Elsewhere in the shoot, Dion looks regal in a deep emerald cape from Sarah Burton’s Givenchy and stretches out in the back of a limousine in a glittering gold Gucci gown, shielded by a pair of enormous Emmanuelle Khanh x Tracee Ellis Ross sunglasses.
Photographer Robin Galiegue also captured the Québec native striking a pose on a Las Vegas rooftop in a Saint Laurent latex-coated lace bodysuit, jacket, and skirt, a second Bulgari Tubogas necklace glinting around her neck.
It’s a fitting setting: Dion’s two Caesars Palace residencies remain the highest-grossing in history, and “A New Day…” — which ran from 2003 to 2007 over more than 700 shows — still holds the top spot today.
She announced her Paris return on her 58th birthday in March, in a video message to fans filmed beneath the Eiffel Tower.
“It’s been so long, I would like to offer them something to show how I’ve missed them,” Dion said of her fans.
That relationship, she has said, is why she made the 2024 documentary “I Am: Céline Dion,” and why she tries to be open about her highs and lows. “I’m honest, and it’s not always pretty,” she said. “Sometimes it’s happy things, sometimes it’s sad, but it’s called life.”
Her head of wardrobe and creative adviser, Annie Horth, has promised something “grandiose” onstage in Paris, representative of Dion’s range in her performances. “She goes from intimate and romantic to a vocal powerhouse, so we are creating something where she navigates that.”
As for how she’s approaching this chapter, the “My Heart Will Go On” singer said she’s moving forward, one day at a time: “Instead of questioning life, can you live life? So I’m living my life, girl. I’m living the life.”
