Celine Dion embodies elegant Parisian style in this look

There’s good news for both fashion and music fans alike, as after months away from the spotlight, Celine Dion is back and raring to go for her upcoming residency in Paris - and the singer looks as just as chic as ever.

The star was spotted out in the French capital last week, in a camel-coloured trench by Alaia. Celine’s cover-up had a traditional collar, belted middle and double-breasted buttons you’d expect from your best trench coat, but it also featured gathered pleats at the side and an asymmetric hemline, which added a fashion-forward aesthetic that we really love.

Teamed it with a pair of cut-out boots by the same luxe label, Celine Dion helped to kick-start trench coat season, and ff you don't already own one, now is a good time to invest as it'll be the perfect extra layer for autumn and then again once spring comes around. Whether you go for a traditional piece or something with a little more edge, like Celine, you will get an endless amount of wear out of this style staple.

You really will get so much wear out of this silhouette.

When it comes to how to style a trench coat, you have lots of options. Wear it buttoned up and belted for a preppy and smart vibe, or keep it open with a popped collar for a more relaxed spin. Rolling up the sleeves or swapping out the waist-tie for a chunky belt can change the aesthetic too.

Whether you go for a bold shape like Celine or something a little simpler, a trench coat is the ideal cover-up for autumn and beyond. Buy it now, love forever.
