Vogue US heeft een onverwachte nieuwe it-girl

Tijdens de Haute Couture Fashion Week van Parijs mocht de Canadese zangeres al het Instagram account van Vogue US overnemen. De blondine zat front-row naast Anna Wintour en werd door de stylisten van de modebijbel in het ene fabulous outfitje na het andere gehuld. Nu is de 49-jarige dame in kwestie te zien in een prachtige Haute Couture video van het magazine. Over wie we het hebben?

Celine Dion!

 

"They see me; I don't see them," is Celine Dion's line on the great blob of paparazzi and fans that follows her everywhere. She gives them any picture they ask for, plus a great many more. Consider an appointment with at the house of Schiaparelli, where she poses for the creative director Bertrand Guyon on a window sill overlooking the Place Vendome. She wears a tiny whimsical dress of Swarovski chainmail re-embroidered with yet more crystals and high sparkly Victorian boots--a little Twiggy, a little Tina Turner. Says her dancer Pepe Munoz: "That's a rockstar!" Says Libby Hahn, who handles public relations for the house: "I am fairly certain she was a rockstar before she put on the dress." Says Celine's own longtime photographer Denise Truscello (a Canadian cinephile with her own rockstar style), thinking of the long lenses poised on the place below: "Is the dress pulled down in the back?" Says Celine Dion: "They might see my butt, but I don't think they mind." #CelineTakesCouture Photographed by @denisetruscello

"I want to be treated like a model," was the one condition Celine Dion set for the Vogue.com team at the outset of the week. And so today she is having her wish: right now, under the watchful eye of director Gordon von Steiner (@gvsgvs) and fashion editor Jorden Bickham (@jordenbickham), Celine is posing mightily and beautifully in the most exquisite and directional ensembles, such as this one from @dior haute couture. Pat McGrath (@patmcgrathreal) and Julien D'Ys (@juliendys), the ultimate model transformers, are working their magic. Pepe Munoz is also hard at work, illustrating every look, every move. In the words of Queen Pat, "It is MAJOR darling, MAJOR." (And it is quite possibly the first time the haute couture has been shot exclusively for digital, so that's also MAJOR!) Soon Celine and the Vogue.com team will be back at the Ritz to finish the shoot. If you happen to pass the Place Vendôme, do as Katy Perry did and say hello. And please come to @voguemagazine and Vogue.com later this month to see all that transpired when the brilliance of Celine met the ineffable beauty of couture on a sunny day in Paris. #CelineTakesCouture Photographed by @alvarocdc

Hoewel wij de video geweldig vinden, check even die fantastische headpieces van Julien d’Y, is Celine Dion nogal een onverwachte it-girl. Horen wij de naam Celine Dion vallen denken wij direct aan de Titanic. Maar de zangeres bewijst in Vogue zoveel meer te zijn dan ‘My heart will go on”.

Wat hebben Vogue en Celine nog meer voor ons in petto? Alleen Anna Wintour en Celine Dion zullen het weten. De haute couture video is in ieder geval prachtig en Celine ontpopt zich als een ware it-girl met een gouden keeltje in de film.
