Celine Dion is the new face of Charlotte Tilbury’s Christmas campaign

Celine Dion is the new face of Charlotte Tilbury as she makes a triumphant return to the spotlight amid her health battle.

Confirmed by the Mail today, the Canadian singer, 57, is making her comeback in a collab with the best-selling make-up house.

Wearing a nude sparkly feathered catsuit, Celine looked incredible as she posed next to Charlotte, 52, or their highly anticipated Christmas advert. 

In a behind the scenes video, the two friends can be seen giggling and dancing around together whilst Celine kicks her leg high in the air. 

For the new campaign Celine also sings her iconic song, I’m Alive.

‘I’ve always believed music and beauty can uplift and inspire confidence,’ Celine said.

‘Having my song I’m Alive as the soundtrack felt like a true celebration of resilience and joy. 

‘I hope this campaign reminds everyone that confidence is the greatest gift you can give yourself—because when you feel alive and empowered, anything is possible.’

The My Heart Will Go On hitmaker revealed in 2022 that she was suffering from stiff-person syndrome (SPS) and canceled her remaining tour dates at the time.

Stiff-person syndrome is a rare neurological disorder which ’causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms that come and go and can worsen over time,’ per John Hopkins Medicine.

Celine made her triumphant return to the stage at the Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony, giving an unforgettable performance of Edith Piaf’s 1950 song Hymne à L’amour.

Sofia Tilbury, Charlotte’s niece, did Celine’s makeup for her performance. 

Commenting on the new campaign, Charlotte said: ‘From creating her iconic Vegas residency look back in 2012 to working on countless unforgettable moments together, our lives and passions have always intertwined in the most magical, powerful way. And when she made her spectacular return to the global stage at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

‘Celine is a true icon– not just a record-breaking superstar, but a woman of extraordinary strength, humour and heart whose voice and story have touched millions. 

‘The way she has turned challenges into power is beyond moving. She embodies everything I believe in – resilience, determination and the power to transform lives. 

‘She is a true inspiration

The new campaign also features beauty muses Jourdan Dunn, Quenlin Blackwell and Bella Tilbury. 

In one shot Celine can be seen posing with the new Charlotte Tilbury holiday collection, including her favourite Star Confidence Fragrance. 

And in a group shot, she can be seen looking radiant next to Jourdan.

In a video uploaded at the time of canceling her shows, Celine had emotionally explained, ‘Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life.

‘Sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.

She added: ‘I’m working hard with my sports medicine therapist every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again, but I have to admit it’s been a struggle.

‘All I know is singing. It’s what I’ve done all my life, and it’s what I love to do the most,’ the mom-of-three continued.

Last year in May, Celine – who also shared a moving message amid Eurovision’s semi-finals – gave a health update during an interview with Vogue and expressed that her ‘happiness has come back.’

She continued, ‘It has been a big burden on my shoulders, and a lot of that weight’s gone…because now I can just focus on reality. That’s wonderful.’
