Here is Celine Dion like you've never seen her before.
A photo was posted on Vogue magazine's Instagram page on the Fourth of July, which shows the 49-year-old singer sitting on a plush chair with her arms folded and legs crossed, wearing nothing and clutching a white garment, during a trip to Paris. A glittering golden boot lies on the wood floor beside her.
"Here's a little naked fact to ponder while Celine Dion changes looks between shows: for the past five years she has worn haute couture near exclusively for her own performances (in Las Vegas and on her current 'mini-tour' of Europe)," the caption states.
"In Vegas, Velcro panels are added to allow for her ribcage to expand or for a quick outfit change," it states. "Micro straps of elasticized chiffon prevent a slit from becoming a sloppy situation mid-squat. Shoes—always heels, never platforms—are ordered one size smaller (she is normally a 38) and refitted with metal shanks."
"The clothes follow me; I do not follow the clothes," Dion is quoted as saying.
She also showcases high fashion looks while out and about; Dion is one of few people who could pull off a look made up of faux leather Givenchy overalls, cream pearl-embroidered Kanye West x Giuseppe Zanotti sandals and crystal-encrusted sunglasses.
Naked photos of Dion have never been released before. She did, however, pose topless for V magazine in 2012, wearing a pair of long black gloves while folding her arms over her chest.
