Dressed in all black, Celine embodied Parisian chic as she made her way to her waiting car, oozing glamour in her elegant ensemble.
Clad in a biker jacket and skinny jeans, she added some height to her frame in a pair of heeled black boots with silver studs running across the front.
Layering up with a practical yet stylish scarf, she finished off the look with a large black handbag nestled in the crook of her arm, injecting some colour with the scarlet embroidery.
Son René-Charles, 15, kept things casual with a sportswear look comprising black tracksuit bottoms, a printed T-shirt and dark rain jacket.

The tour will start with two performances in Antwerp on Monday and Tuesday before heading to Paris and then to her native Canada, with a final performance scheduled in Trois-Rivières on August 31.

Bag some stitched up style like Celine with her Tod's tote
Celine Dion may look like a diva on stage but when it comes to off duty style, she goes for timeless classics. From her must have moto leather jacket down to her granny boots, she's got the sleek monochromatic look down. However, what gives this outfit the high notes is her Tod's bag.
The bag is super chic and will work just as well with a dressed down ensemble like Celine's as it will, with a blouse and pencil skirt for work.
Lucky for you, this bag is available right now from Tod's (click right). For a cheaper alternative shop from the below tote-ally awesome doppelgangers. We love how the red and white detailing stitching makes this such a versatile bag to match.
Imagine this with a pair of So Kate Louboutins that highlight the red soles or a pair of white jeans for effortless Almalfi Coast chic!
The star broke down on stage at her residency show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace just weeks after her losses.
During the 2016 Billboard Awards last month the My Heart Will Go On singer said that she wanted to prove to her children that she was strong and do her husband proud by following his mantra of 'the show must go on'.
Celine's son made a surprise appearance on stage to present her with the Icon award after she made her first televised singing performance since the death of her husband and her brother.
Eldest son René-Charles emerged on stage with her award. (She also has twins Nelson and Eddy, 5).

'I don't want to cry in front of you,' she then said to her son. 'Thank you very much.This is such a tremendous honor. Music has been my passion since before I can almost remember.'
