Céline Dion Makes Surprise Performance at Loréal Fashion Show in Paris

Céline Dion kicked off Paris Fashion Week with a bang, making a surprise appearance at L’Oréal's runway show beneath the Eiffel Tower.

The Québec superstar appeared at the end of the brand’s annual Le Défilé on Monday, September 28, stepping onto the runway in a dramatic black Schiaparelli gown before launching into her 2002 hit “I’m Alive.” She was joined by several of L’Oréal’s celebrity ambassadors, including Viola Davis, Eva Longoria, Simone Ashley and Aja Naomi King.


The performance came as Paris Fashion Week kicked off for the Spring/Summer 2027 season, and as Dion is already dominating the French capital with her long-awaited return to the stage.

Dion began a 26-show Paris residency on September 12, marking her first major concert run since stepping away from performing amid her battle with stiff-person syndrome. Sixteen shows are scheduled through October, with another 10 planned for May 2027.

In the weeks surrounding the residency, Dion has been photographed in looks from major fashion houses and has increasingly become a fixture of Paris’ celebrity and fashion scene. Dion has been Loréal Paris' brand ambassador since 2019, and the company is one of the presenting partners of her current residency.

The 2027 Grammys Contenders for Song of the Year Should Be Predominantly Women

Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 16, “Rolling Stone” is breaking down 11 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night.

If there’s one through line for the likely 2027 Song of the Year nominees, it’s that it’s a wide-open field. “There isn’t something like a ‘Not Like Us,’ the song that everyone is anointing as the great song,” says Tony Gervino, editor-in-chief of Tidal, citing 2025’s big winner by Kendrick Lamar.

Thom Yorke and Harry Styles Come Together in Epic Conversation

Two years ago, in the summer of 2024, Harry Styles was strolling down a small cobblestone side street in Rome, when he suddenly noticed a face he recognized. It was Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, one of his biggest musical heroes. He introduced himself — just two stars walking the streets incognito, with no entourage. As Styles confesses to Yorke now, with a shy grin, “You, to me, had always been that person that I was scared of meeting.”

Yorke and Styles might seem like they’re from two different worlds — the planet’s most dazzling glam-pop prince versus the high priest of art-rock angst. But today, they’re busy making each other laugh on a sunny July afternoon in London, at a studio near Camden Town. Yorke has been known to be a thorny interview subject, ever since the early days of Radiohead. Yet today he lets down his guard, as he basks in the presence of the equally notorious charm of Harry Edward Styles. They crack each other up like mischievous schoolboys.

No Stairway? Denied! Five Times Led Zeppelin Declined to License Their Song Prior to ‘Narnia’

The trailer for Greta Gerwig’s long-awaited Netflix movie Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew dropped earlier this week. Narnia fans were delighted to catch their first glimpse of child actors David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell as the characters Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer, along with a peek of author C.S. Lewis’ mythical land and its magical inhabitants. But classic rock fans were barely able to process any of that once “Stairway to Heaven” began playing.

Simply put, “Stairway to Heaven” is one of the most difficult works in music history to license for on-screen use. There have been several notable attempts over the years, but Jimmy Page and Robert Plant control their own publishing, and they hold onto this particular song quite tight for more than 50 years.

Drake Makes Billboard History With 18th No. 1 R&B/Hip-Hop Album

Drake has become the artist with the most No. 1 albums in the history of Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, claiming the record outright with his 18th chart-topper.

The Toronto rapper reached the milestone as HABIBTI returned to the top following the October 2 release of HABIBTI (FOMO), a deluxe edition featuring four additional tracks. The album climbed from No. 35 to No. 1 on the chart dated October 17, according to Billboard, earning 71,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the October 2-8 tracking week. That represented a 506 per cent increase over the previous week.
