When C\u00e9line Dion<\/strong> made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards in February 2024, she received a standing ovation \u2014 but also a lot of raised eyebrows, because she came onstage wearing a massive, mustard-yellow Valentino coat over her dress. Now we know why.<\/p>\n

C\u00e9line’s appearance was a big deal, because it was one of the first times she’d been in front of people in such a public way since she’d announced her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis. In a video she made for Vogue<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> Celine explains, “It was very nerve-wracking, but at the same time, a big honor. That magic. That excitement. To see the fans, to see the crowd. To see show business again.”<\/p>\n

“But it’s always very, very touching when you have a standing ovation,” she adds.<\/p>\n

“It took a lot out of me,” C\u00e9line says of the appearance. “But my son came and gave me his support. And to present the Album of the Year to Taylor Swift<\/strong>, it’s an honor, because she’s having the time of her life and I’m the one presenting it to her.”<\/p>\n

But what about her look? “I was like, ‘I can walk onstage with a coat?'” C\u00e9line recalls asking. And she remembers being told, “Oh yeah, you can do whatever you want in fashion. Just have a good time, wear that coat, own that coat, go for it!'”<\/p>\n

“And it made me feel better for a moment to hold onto this coat, to hide myself a little bit, from all these little things,” she explains, before breaking into a chorus of her song, “Imperfections.”<\/p>\n
