Celine Dion is feeling festive.

The legendary musician, 56, shared a throwback show-stopping holiday look on Instagram — and her one-of-a-kind shoes were very appropriate for her fiery personality.

Posing in front of a lit-up tree, Dion teamed custom phoenix-shaped heels with an equally eye-catching shimmery red dress.

The star of the outfit was her red, orange, and yellow heels, which were made to represent a phoenix rising from the ashes. caitdo/Instagram

Fans flocked to the comment section to express their opinions on the “My Heart Will Go On” singer’s 3D footwear.

“PURE FIRE 🔥🎄👑😍,” someone wrote, likely referencing her heels. A second added, “Celine walks the shoes, the shoes don’t walk her. 💪🤍👑”

Another said, “Ave Fénix 🐦‍🔥 shoes!!! In love!! ❤️‍🔥” while another criticized the look: “Her boots look like that frizzy haired muppet meme going around,” they wrote.

Some dedicated fans realized that the photo is actually old, having been originally posted by the songstress in 2019. At the time, some compared the mythical bird to a chicken, but there’s actually much symbolism behind the heels.

Created by Toronto set designer Caitlin Doherty and commissioned from Scotiabank Arena, the eye-popping wearable art piece is called “Courage” after Dion’s studio album of the same name that dropped the same year.

What’s more, the shoes are “a tribute to Céline Dion and an artistic expression of her passion for fashion and a metaphor that represents her journey,” according to an accompanying placard.

“The symbolism … resembles themes both Céline Dion and a Phoenix have in common, transformation and rebirth.”

The metaphor is perhaps even more appropriate these days, as the artist made a triumphant comeback to the stage this summer at the 2024 Paris Olympics amid her battle with stiff person syndrome.

The Canadian superstar has always been a fashion plate, revealing in her June 2024 documentary, “I Am: Celine Dion,” — which delves into her life but also her struggle with the crippling disease that had her out of the public eye for years — that she has a footwear obsession.

“When a girl loves her shoes, she always makes them fit,” she said, adding that she could make any size between six and ten fit.

“Every time I went to a store and I love those shoes, they say ‘What size are you, ma’am?’ I say, ‘No, you don’t understand — What size do you have? I’ll make them work, I’ll make them fit.’ I will walk the shoe. I walk the shoe, the shoe don’t walk me.”

If the shoe fits, wear it.
