Vogue Magazine followed superstar and Vegas diva Celine Dion around for a full 24 hours, capturing every moment, including the bare ones.

Dion strips down in a raw photo, sitting cross-legged on a chair, holding a white garment in between shows.

“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 reads. “She performs a minimum two hours a night, five or six nights a week, dancing and curtseying and generally gesticulating sans abandon, in handmade, hand-beaded delicacies designed solely to walk a catwalk or a carpet (and often with handlers).”

The feature is about Dion’s relationship with fame, her family and her clothes — when she has them on.

The captions describe a world where Dion’s clothing is painstakingly fitted to her form and where picking out an outfit is a multi-person ordeal. The singer keeps a master file of magazine pages with notes and markings on which pieces interest her.

In regards to the actual clothes, design houses send teams for around three fittings, with clothing eventually fitted by her local, private atelier.

“We have to make haute couture industrial,” she told the magazine. “The clothes follow me; I do not follow the clothes.”

The other images uploaded by Vogue, which show the singer fully clothed, delve into her routine, along with some other tidbits about life in Vegas. For example, since clothes are perfectly fitted to her body, a lot of her outfits have velcro, which allows for quick changes and for any expansion.

Another interesting note? Dion found her stylist Law Roach through her childrens’ love of Zendaya. She googled Zendaya’s stylist, which eventually led her to Roach.

Besides Dion’s love and respect of fashion (she often attends fashion shows), the piece also delves into her life following the death of her husband René Angélil, who died in 2016 after a battle with throat cancer.
