“Why is she so skinny?” one user questioned.
“Worried about @celinedion--she’s looking way too skinny than years past,” another user posted.
“I love celine dion’s style but is she ok? I have never seen her so skinny,” another wrote.
Dion is not unaware that she may look different than she did years ago. However, she attributes that to a series of changes she’s undergone in the years since her longtime husband and manager, Rene Angelil died after battling cancer. Since then, she’s taken charge of her life and career and found a propensity for high-risk fashion choices — hence the reason she’s in Paris, which will be hosting Fashion Week starting Feb. 25.
