Celine in Dior: A Dazzling Moment

From May 15 to September 7, 2026, the Museum presents the North American premiere of the exquisite Christian Dior Couture gown worn by Céline Dion during her unforgettable performance from the Eiffel Tower at the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. Created especially for Céline Dion by Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior’s Artistic Director from 2016 to 2025, this gown is the culmination of more than 1,000 hours of meticulous craftsmanship.

Previously shown in Paris and Seoul, this haute couture piece is the focal point of an intimate and exclusive experience. Revealed in a striking exhibition design conceived by Pierre-Étienne Locas, it is brought into a rare, up-close encounter at the heart of large-scale projections that draw visitors back into the breathtaking performance of Édith Piaf’s “Hymne à l’amour” by the stellar Quebec singer.

Celine in Dior: A Dazzling Moment pays tribute to an iconic performer, and to a moment that captured hearts, embodied in a dress.
