She was adored. She was desired. She was devoured.
From Cairo to Paris, from disco euphoria to tragic solitude, Dalida did not simply live a life — she embodied an era. Idolized as a goddess of glamour, she stood at the crossroads of desire, fame, exile, and impossible love.
But behind the sequins and spotlights lived a woman haunted by loss, identity, and the crushing weight of being a symbol.
In Dalida – Glamour with Nowhere to Hide, Julien Peltier strips away the myth to reveal the paradox: how beauty became both armor and prison. Through a sharp psychological lens and cultural insight, this book explores:
• The construction of femininity in pop culture
• The violence of adoration
• Exile, reinvention, and loneliness
• The price of being "iconic"
• Why Dalida's story still mirrors modern celebrity culture
This is not just a biography.
It is an autopsy of glamour.
A meditation on fragility.
A mirror held up to the myth of womanhood.
For readers of literary biography, cultural criticism, feminist theory, and music history.
If you think you know Dalida, you don't.
