The artist, who suffers from muscular rigidity syndrome, performed Edith Piaf’s “Hymne à l’Amour” in a truly luxurious gown for this significant occasion. The creation of this dress took over 1,000 hours of craftsmanship.

The outfit, adorned with sequins and 500 meters of fringe, featured an elegant silk train that seemed to come alive with each movement of the singer. Designer Maria Grazia Chiuri aimed for a wow-factor, and she achieved it. Photos of the dress preparation process have surfaced online.

Bloggers discussed Celine’s look. Comments included, “Incredible beauty!”, “This is exactly the kind of dress needed to become the queen of the evening,” and “I love Celine; her return could only be this—bright, sensual, and incredibly feminine,” wrote users.

Celine Dion expressed that she did not expect such a warm reception. The Canadian singer remained in Paris, where fans continually express their admiration for the star’s bravery.

This was Celine’s second time performing at the opening of the Olympics. She first appeared on stage for this occasion in 1996 at the Atlanta stadium.
