Celine Dion poses nude for Vogue photo
The singer of Titanic‘s iconic My Heart Will Go On has stripped bare in between outfit changes for Vogue magazine.
Canadian songstress Celine Dion divided fans by posing nude at the age of 49.
Apparently unedited, she is pictured entirely nude while on a chair resting her left hand on her cheek and covering her bare torso with her arms and legs.
“Here’s a little naked fact to ponder while Celine Dion changes looks between shows,” the caption on the magazine’s Instagram post read.
“For the past five years she has worn haute couture near exclusively for her own performances.”
Some defended Dion’s shoot as artistic, saying she looked “flawless” and showed “overwhelming beauty and strength”, while others disapproved of the middle-aged singer’s need to strip off.
Some posed the question, “Why?” and expressed an unimpressed “Yawn”.
“That’s what people do for fame trying to stay in the spotlight,” one fan wrote on Facebook.
“Too old for this. Respect yourself!” another said.
The barely-there moment comes after a string of public appearances where Dion has worn outrageous, sometimes revealing outfits, raising questions as to whether there may be new music on the way.
Dion released her last album, a French-language album titled Encore un soir, in August 2016.
The singer returned to the spotlight shortly after the death of her husband René Angélil, in January 2016.
“I will probably grieve for the rest of my life,” she said of the loss in an interview earlier this year.
Her nude shots have appeared a week after pregnant tennis champion Serena Williams posed naked for the cover of Vanity Fair.
