Vogue’s nude photo of Céline Dion was posted to the magazine’s Instagram account on July 3, 2017, during Paris Couture Week. It showed Dion seated nude, with her body strategically covered, as part of Vogue’s broader coverage of her Fall 2017 couture-week activities—not as a standalone product image.
What the photo shows
The image depicts Dion seated without clothing, with her body covered by her pose and the framing. Vogue included it in a fashion editorial following the singer through couture shows and other Paris Fashion Week moments.
How it fits Vogue’s #CelineTakesCouture coverage
The photograph belonged to Vogue’s #CelineTakesCouture series, which followed Dion during the Fall 2017 Couture schedule. Vogue’s July 5 feature, “Céline Dion at Couture Fashion Week: A Day in the Life”, described a day spent with her during the final stretch of the couture season. Dion’s official website later characterized the feature as following her for 24 hours during Paris Fashion Week and directed readers to Vogue’s Instagram account and the hashtag.
The editorial reflects Dion’s enthusiasm for fashion. In Vogue’s article, she said, “The clothes follow me; I do not follow the clothes.”
