Céline Dion’s ongoing residency in Nanterre has transformed the Plenitude Arena into a hub for international fashion figures and music stars, drawing high-profile attendees including singer Aya Nakamura. On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, the Canadian vocalist performed her eighth show of a 16-date run that began on September 12, pulling a star-studded VIP audience during Paris Fashion Week.

The audience on Wednesday night featured notable names from the entertainment industry, reflecting the overlap between the city’s haute couture events and the singer’s concert series. Pop star Aya Nakamura was spotted in the VIP rows at the Nanterre venue, according to reporting by Paul Abran for Le Parisien. The concert follows a string of high-profile appearances, including Dion’s own surprise opening performance at the L’Oréal fashion show held at the foot of the Eiffel Tower earlier in the week.
