C éline Dion 's 26-date Paris residency is underway, and, every day, the global icon's adoring fans gather outside Dion's hotel to cheer her on and ply her with flowers. The Harper's Bazaar cover star always takes the time to interact with fans, even hopping atop a car to serenade them.
On Thursday, the Oscar winner was seen chatting and waving to fans outside her hotel, looking typically chic in immaculately tailored navy trousers, a faux fur coat, and oversized sunglasses.

It was impossible to ignore just how glossy Dion's hair was, with the 58-year-old singer's high-shine locks pulled back into a neat, low-hanging ballet bun—a.k.a. the "drop" bun.
Refined and perfect for finer, mature hair , a low-maintenance bun is hard to beat—no wonder it's become the singer's signature style over the years. Not only do ballerina buns like Dion's require minimal effort to achieve, but they offer a touch of romance no matter your age, although there's something extra elegant about slicked-back mature hair.
For maximum impact, it's worth investing in a product that will keep your hair looking seamless for hours on end—you don't want a single flyaway in sight. According to experts, some of the most popular staples for slicked-back styles include items you likely already own, such as mousse, a boar-bristle brush, or hairspray.

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar back in May, professional hairstylist Raven Hurtado advised opting for mousse when trying to achieve that slicked-back look, as it's easy to flatten. "I also like using a wax stick because it keeps fine hairs locked down," she shared. "Hairspray is also good to keep styles in place."
Whether you choose to use a mousse ( Crown Affair's is a cult hit), hairspray, or a bristle brush to tame flyaways, when going for a low-bun look like Dion's, it's worth first tying your hair into a low ponytail before twisting into a bun, then smoothing down with product. Quick, low-maintenance, and perennially chic.
