Céline Dion always has always had an interesting sense of style, but lately she’s been taking it to a whole new level.

The 51-year-old singer recently gave LIFE in a spread with two special covers for CR Fashion Book‘s September issue. Céline is seen galavanting around Paris — as one does!

“I honestly love photo shoots, and I love everything about art and making photo shoots,” she told the mag. “It was interesting to see myself in this distorted fish-eye [effect], where your head is bigger than your body or your body’s bigger than your head. One foot is a size twelve and the other is a size four. It’s very artistic.”

Céline has had a style transformation lately, and she’s totally loving her new perspective on clothes.

“I mean, five years ago I would never let [a photographer] near up past my kneecap, you know?” she said. “Who would go under my tutu? Nobody. I mean, nobody. My husband, that was it. But I was just like, ‘Alright, here we go!’”

Still, don’t call her the queen of fashion.

“I never really like to see myself as the queen. I’m not playing queen, I don’t want to be the queen. I’m the boss,” she clarified. “That’s different. I’m the mother, I’m the boss, I’m in charge of my decisions with my team. I try to make the best of myself, to accomplish something, to always put the bar as high as I can.”
