The “Queen of Power Ballads” wowed in an all-white look that included a long skirt and an elegant long-sleeved blouse. She added a silver belt, matching bracelets and earrings. René-Charles, 23, chose a black suit and matching shoes.

Dion shares René-Charles, as well as twins Nelson and Eddy, with her late husband René Angélil. Angélil died in 2016 from throat cancer.

Since being diagnosed with SPS in 2022, Dion has largely stayed out of the spotlight, but made a surprise appearance at the 2024 Grammy Awards in February. The five-Grammy-winning singer received a standing ovation as she graced the stage to present the award for Album of the Year to Taylor Swift.

For the awards show, Dion wore a floor-length baby pink Valentino dress with a ruffled bodice. She accessorized with Tiffany & Co. jewelry, including a 12+ carat diamond necklace, a 6-carat pear-shaped cocktail ring, and diamond bracelets. She added a long caramel coat (also Valentino) over her dress and styled her hair in a sleek bob.
