The Canadian star, who was diagnosed with a rare neurological disease called stiff person syndrome in 2022, took to the runway at the end of L'Oreal's annual show.
The singer, who wore a ruched full-length velvet black gown, was later joined by famous ambassadors for the French brand, including Viola Davis, Simone Ashley, Aja Naomi King and Eva Longoria.
Dion recently performed a comeback show in the city earlier this month, her first since her 2020 concert in New Jersey - the last before the Covid pandemic cut her tour short.
