She burst on to the international stage in 1988, when she represented Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest, taking home the prestigious trophy.

And since then, Celine Dion has not seemed to stop, releasing more than 25 studio albums, touring the world, and even holding years-long residencies in Las Vegas.

The Quebec-born singer, known for her impressive range and powerful vibrato, has also, in recent years, become just as well know for her directional fashion sense.

While the My Heart Will Go On crooner has been a fan of tailoring and glamorous floor-sweeping gowns since her earliest days, it appears to be somewhere circa 2016 that Dion's wardrobe choices evolved from high fashion to fashun.

From cutting-edge silhouettes and touches of streetwear, to avant-garde suiting and daring evening looks, the singer has really amped up her sartorial game in recent years.

Here, we rewind through Dion's red carpet archives to see how her style has evolved over the past three decades.
