Vanity Fair, meanwhile, praised Dion for her \"fashion-mad, slightly gonzo embrace of 'extra.'\"

She told the magazine that her favorite past fashion moment was that backwards white John Galliano pantsuit she wore to the Oscars in 1999.

She also revealed that, despite reports that she has 10,000 pairs of shoes, she's \"not quite sure\" just how many she has.

\"But I’m building a new home in Las Vegas,\" she added. \"I treated myself to a playground: two stories of archives for all my clothes, shoes, belts. I kept everything. So I’ll be able to count.\"

Dion certainly has come a long way from her childhood, where she was the youngest in a very large but not-very-well-off family.

\"I have 13 siblings, and I was the last. I wore all their clothes,\" she told Vanity Fair. \"My mom didn’t have money to buy it, so she made the clothes.\"

However, it seems she did inherit her mom's sense of style.

\"She was very sensitive to the cut of the moment, if the pants were wide or narrow,\" Dion recalled. \"She was paying attention.\"
