  • Here we go.

  • Rolling, everybody.

  • Shush.

  • Hello, everyone.

  • Bonjour tout le monde.

  • Take two, please.

  • Hello, Vogue.

  • This isline Dion, and this is my life in looks.

  • Yep.

  • Okay.

  • Wow.

  • It's quite something.

  • The first page, I was obviously dressing myself.

  • At that time, it's like deciding my songs.

  • Why did I choose that outfit?

  • How did I choose my outfit?

  • Pretty much the same thing as people would propose songs to me, and I would pick the songs that I like, that I think that I can serve.

  • But for the clothes, I thought I looked hot.

  • But looking today, I have to respect that very much because you look at my face and my energy and the way that I'm just, I own the jeans and the top and the microphone and the stage and the guitar player, and it was fashion change, life changes.

  • It's touching for me because it's my early days.

  • It's the same passion.

  • It's the same me.

  • Should I really have the courage to turn the next page?

  • Speechless.

  • My husband and I got married in 94, December 17, to be precise.

  • I still feel his presence so much.

  • This is a moment that will be with me for the rest of my life.

  • The dress couldn't have been big enough.

  • I could have had three times the size on my head.

  • I could have had six different dresses that night because he was and he's still such a wonderful human being.

  • He brought the best of me.

  • He really did.

  • This big piece is not glued to my head, obviously.

  • It has been sewn.

  • So no problem, I can manage the weight.

  • And when you're so happy, there's no weight, there's no problem, there's no pain.

  • We kind of rehearsed one time with the dress and the big veil and all that.

  • And it was in a big ballroom and it was all made of beautiful wooden floors.

  • I practice and everything is smooth and everything is fine.

  • But when I had to walk the cathedral, it's no wooden floor, it's carpet.

  • I had an immediate facelift.

  • I start to walk and I go like.

  • And it's like, am I gonna make it?

  • Am I gonna make it to my future husband?

  • But like I said, oh, I'm gonna run to you.

  • I did.

  • So all night, all great, people happy.

  • But when we removed the tiara,

  • I had a cut because the pressure was too much.

  • The next day I wake up, I look at myself in the mirror.

  • I have the size of an egg in the middle of my forehead.

  • I look at my husband and I said, it's too late now, we're married.

  • But it's so huge that it make my eyes look like this.

  • I'm like, okay, let's go to the doctor.

  • So I had to be on antibiotics for about three weeks.

  • But here it is.

  • I look good in that dress.

  • Or just because I love red.

  • But it's a Versace dress too, come on.

  • It's pretty amazing for me to discover this.

  • I have bought everything in my life.

  • If it was not possible to buy it, well, it was not possible to buy it for whatever reason because it's not even in production yet.

  • So it's just being released three days ago and I can borrow it.

  • Otherwise, I would buy all the stuff.

  • But at this age, still very young, beautiful dress from Versace.

  • Versace was one of my favorite designer, of course.

  • It is a lifetime memory.

  • There's a big story about this picture because James Cameron, the director of the movie, did not want any song.

  • He said, my movie is great enough, I don't need any songs.

  • The writer came, I think secretly.

  • And I was in Las Vegas, Rene and I were there.

  • And he started to play us the song.

  • Yeah, fall wherever you are

  • And my husband is watching me and he's watching him and he said, James, James, James, James, we should stop right now.

  • And I'm like, and I'm looking at Rene and I'm like this.

  • I don't want to sing the song.

  • So he says to the writer, he says,

  • James, I have an idea.

  • Why don't we just go to Los Angeles?

  • We'll do like a little maquette, a little demo.

  • She can put her voice on it.

  • When he said that, obviously I knew that I was going to be in trouble.

  • I don't want to sing the song.

  • The director of the movie doesn't want to have a song in his movie.

  • And I know that when I get into a studio and I hear music,

  • I get into a character and I even sell it to myself.

  • So I start to sing the song.

  • It tells me about the story of the movie a little bit.

  • I'm already in tears, but it's a demo.

  • It's just to put my voice, one take, just quick, just for them to present to the director that insisting on putting this song in the movie.

  • I sang the song and I never re-sang the song to record it, to make it as a record.

  • They use my voice is a one take thing.

  • So this is a dress from Michael Kors.

  • We kind of did the dress together.

  • And I asked him if he would be willing to do a turtleneck dress, like a glove.

  • And he looked at me like, are you sure you want to have a turtleneck?

  • The decollete, the sparkles of the day, that was not the point for me.

  • I want to sing this song the best I can and wearing this Osprey, the heart of the ocean.

  • This is the moment, the Oscar, the dress that I felt good in.

  • And it won.

  • Wearing John Galliano was pretty fantastic.

  • I thought my stylist made a mistake by putting this outfit the other way around.

  • Well, we just left the turtleneck and now we're having a jacket that's open in the back.

  • And on top of that, every woman wore in dresses.

  • Wearing pants and a suit that's backward, it's pretty gutsy fears.

  • Years passed and now it became like something that people still talk about because I trusted my stylist and I love John Galliano and here I am owning that big time.

  • This is in 2003, obviously summertime.

  • I don't want to sound pretentious, but I think I look good.

  • That hair was because I was already on stage in my first residency with Franco Dragone with A New Day and my hair got bleached and short and shorter and shorter and shorter.

  • Women do that and it's fun, whether it's like wardrobe, hair, makeup, songs, music, style.

  • But I remember that I had to leave wearing this dress to go and do a performance.

  • Nobody told me, obviously, that there was a big ramp going down and I did not have any anti-slippery under my shoes.

  • I was holding on to my toenails, trust me.

  • But I love that look.

  • I don't know if it's the color, but I love it.

  • I just love it.

  • Oh, this one, okay.

  • I think it's La Roche who had the guts to make me wear something that's basically iconic, the Titanic.

  • He loves and he's very passionate about fashion and to be creative and trying to find something that exists already, but make a twist out of it.

  • I'm coming out of this hotel with the Titanic and the ship is sinking and I'm like, but it went viral and it was a big thing.

  • So that's his talent.

  • He knows when it's time to do something and I guess it was time.

  • I love that dress so much.

  • The cloud.

  • And I think the crowd loved that dress as well.

  • But what I loved is that the director and the way that he presented,

  • I was in the middle of a chandelier.

  • I was surrounded.

  • I was in the middle of the chandelier.

  • It was very touching for me because the whole crowd, the whole place sang with me that night.

  • Their voices was captured in ears through the microphone and I could hear.

  • I had a choir that night and a cloud dress.

  • So it was amazing.

  • That was a photo shoot.

  • So much fun, so much work.

  • It was for Vogue magazine.

  • Very haute couture and crazy.

  • I couldn't believe what they presented to me.

  • I said, that goes on my head.

  • I thought it was a cake and it was amazing.

  • It was just, it was just amazing.

  • Le Moulin Rouge.

  • It was a night out.

  • Everything about Paris is la vie en rose and the sky's the limit.

  • And you look at people walking and it just feels that whatever you love, for me, I want to love more when I'm in Paris.

  • It makes me love things more.

  • It's difficult to come back home.

  • This one is my first Met Gala in 2019, actually.

  • Oscar de la Renta.

  • Forget about it.

  • I am like, just, just, just, just amazing.

  • The bangs, the hair is gold and another piece.

  • I don't know what's going on with pieces on my head.

  • Those feathers on my head that night, it was not easy, but I love myself so much.

  • And there was a party after, so they did a dress for me after that I love as much.

  • It was amazing.

  • I think Cher did perform while we were having this dinner and walking in this place that I'm like, who are we?

  • Where are we?

  • Where are we going with all that?

  • It is super spectacular.

  • This is the night to be.

  • I was honored and then Cher comes and performs and we're like, I was like, I'm done.

  • I'm like, this is it.

  • Paris.

  • I just see something right now.

  • The heart of the ocean that I'm wearing right now.

  • I did not buy it.

  • Just to set the record straight here.

  • I always buy my stuff.

  • I always buy everything.

  • Calm down.

  • This is a replica.

  • You can buy it in Paris for 10 bucks.

  • And now I just wanted to say on top of it, like it's not enough to have a one sleeve jacket, short skirt, bob hair, pointy glasses.

  • Let's add one more thing to all that.

  • We're gonna bring the Titanic back.

  • You're gonna wear Asperger heart of the ocean.

  • Sing that song one more time and spin.

  • It's the fake one, but I wore it like it was the real thing.

  • I can't put all this together, but I love to play and you have to trust the people that you work with.

  • And I trusted him and I guess people love that.

  • And it was fun.

  • It was a very nerve wracking.

  • And at the same time, a big honor.

  • That magic, that excitement to see the fans, to see the crowd, to see show business again.

  • It took a lot out of me, but my son, Rene Charles, RC, came and gave me his support and to present the award, the album of the year to Taylor Swift.

  • It's an honor because she's having the time of her life and I'm the one who's presenting it to her.

  • But it's always very, very touching when you have a standing ovation.

  • I was like, I can walk on stage with a coat?

  • Oh yeah, you can do whatever you want in fashion.

  • Let's have a good time, wear that coat, own that coat, go for it.

  • And it made me feel better for a moment to hold on to this coat, to hide myself a little bit from all these little things.

  • ♪ I got my own imperfections, I got my own, I got my own. ♪

  • So, we did it.

  • Well, thank you very much, Vogue.

  • This has been my life and looks.

  • Thank you.

  • It's time for me to sign it now.

  • Thank you.

  • Yay!

  • Yay!

  • Yay!

  • Yay!

  • Yay!

  • Yay!

  • Yay!

  • Who let the bug out?

  • Thank you so much.

  • Thank you.

Here we go.
