First worn at the 1997 Oscars, Celine Dion debuted a reimagined version of the shimmering Chanel gown at her performance in Paris this week.
Adorned with thousands of jewels and beads, the new creation is a celebration of fashion history, craftsmanship and the singer's enduring style legacy.
The breathtaking couture gown has been reinterpreted by Chanel's creative director Matthieu Blazy, bringing an iconic style moment back to life.
Celine revisited her Academy Awards moment for her final shows of the year, which also included the stunning 18-karat white gold Chanel Comète necklace.
The piece of jewellery is set with 1,080 diamonds weighing more than 67 carats in total, with a sweeping, asymmetrical design evoking a shooting star.
The original dress was designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld and the plunging silhouette and starry necklace made for a memorable red-carpet moment.

Celine performed twice during that ceremony, singing Because You Loved Me and I Finally Found Someone.
The following year, Celine won an Oscar at the 70th Academy Awards for performing My Heart Will Go On from the film Titanic.
It comes as Celine has been immortalised in Barbie form and honoured with her very own signature doll from toy manufacturer Mattel – amid her comeback residency.
The Canadian singer's figurine pays tribute to the navy, long-sleeved dress she wore when she performed Titanic theme song My Heart Will Go On at the 1998 awards.
The blue necklace the doll wears is inspired by the necklace known as the 'heart of the ocean' that plays an important role in the 1997 blockbuster.
In the James Cameron film, Rose (Kate Winslet) is given the necklace by her fiancé Caledon Hockley as an engagement gift.
It becomes a symbol of Rose's entrapment and is later used to frame Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) for theft.
During Celine's performance of My Heart Will Go On at the 1998 awards, she donned a replica of the piece of jewellery – cementing its place in both cinematic and fashion history.
Celine, who recently returned to the stage for her residency after a diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), said: 'It is a true honour to join the Barbie legacy with a doll inspired by one of the most meaningful moments of my career.
'I hope this doll inspires everyone to express themselves with confidence, follow their dreams and believe in the power of their own voice.'

Celine is the latest star to have her likeness used for a Barbie doll, following in the footsteps of superstars like Mariah Carey and Tina Turner.
It comes after last week Celine sparked concerns for the future of her comeback tour, after the singer lost her balance while on stage during a Paris show.
The star made a triumphant return to the spotlight last month with a series of comeback shows in the French capital, after being forced to cancel her last tour due to her battle with SPS.
During her 11th concert last Wednesday, Celine was overcome with emotion as she performed Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore (So That You Love Me Again) at the Paris La Défense Arena.
Footage shared on Instagram showed the star telling the crowd: 'I understood all the words, I understood perfectly, thank you.'
But a few moments later, she paused and said: 'I'm forgetting my words,' and covered her face with her hands.
The crowd then helped Celine through the song before she recovered, adding: 'Thank goodness you're here, I'm sorry.'
According to a report by Le Parisien, the star also lost her balance while singing Un Autre Monde, but quickly recovered enough to return to her feet and gave a thumbs up to the crowd.
The superstar is in the French capital for a five-week residency – after she recently shared that she has decided to make her devastating health battle 'my reason for living'.
The Daily Mail contacted a representative for Celine Dion for comment at the time.
