Is there anyone on this earth who doesn’t love Celine Dion? (Okay, yes, probably, but come on...if you met her in an elevator, you’d be in awe regardless of how you felt about her music, and that is the mark of a true star.)
The Canadian singer got her start as a 1980s-era teen star and soon became one of the most popular and best-selling recording artists in the world. From her Titanic-soundtrack days to her live Vegas performances and her five Grammy Awards, Dion is in a class of her own—and this Sunday, March 30, she turned 57. To properly celebrate this momentous occasion, check out these 14 amazing shots of Dion at various stages of her career, each one more glamorous and high camp than the next.
