Celebrating 45 years of the fashion house, the show featured beautifully crafted ensembles, all made especially for the event. Along with the spectacular fashion, Elie Saab’s big night brought together some of the region’s biggest stars — from Nadine Nassib Njeim and Lojain Omran, to Fatima Al Banawi and Amina Khalil. And then, of course, there were the on stage performances. To mark this momentous occasion, the Elie Saa show included not one, not two, but five musical superstars: Jennifer Lopez, Nancy Ajram, Amr Diab, Camila Cabello, and Celine Dion.

Last night’s show marked Celine Dion’s second performance and third public appearance since her comeback with the 2024 Paris Olympics. In true Dion fashion, the legendary singer had the entire audience on its feet as she sang some of her most-loved tracks, from “I’m Alive” to “The Power Of Love”. On stage, Dion wore a shimmering gold Elie Saab gown accompanied by a sheer cape that billowed behind her.

As for the red carpet, Celine Dion posed for cameras in a second Elie Saab look. The superstar opted for a baby pink tie-dye print gown by the couturier which came covered in clear sequins that glistened as she moved. For both appearances, Dion styled her hair back in a slick bun, allowing her trademark chiseled features to take centerstage.

Ending the evening with a big hug for Elie Saab, Celine Dion was truly a star on stage. Below, some more videos of the icon from last night.
