Would any god in D&D have a celestial label, like would Talos become a celestial even if it was CE or CN or LE or NE, or would only the good-aligned gods be celestial?
It really depends on what creature type they're closest to. For example, Vecna would probably be Undead, but Pelor would probably be a Celestial.

The 'Celestial' creature tag is for creatures of a distinctly heavenly bent - angels, kirins,and various adjacent things.
Celestial Label, though? Why, you can have a bottle of Celestial Label right in your own home, no matter which god you worship! Our finest whiskey, brewed in the Elysium Fields by masters of the craft from across the ages, aged in barrels made from celestial wood mortal man has never seen. Celestial Label has the rich, deep smoky taste of any good whiskey, but also a lightness and refreshing buoancy that's downright Heavenly(TM).
Celestial Label: Whiskey so good, you'll think you've died and gone to Heaven.
I would think gods are above such creature labels. If anything, I’d think their label would simply be “god.” They’re not in the same class as standard creatures. From a rules perspective, it also means they wouldn’t be effected by typical spells and powers like cleric’s turning, for example.

Just don't overdo it, because the hangover will make you feel like you're in Tartarus.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

ModeratorNo, not all deities are celestials. Tiamat, the dragon goddess of evil, is a fiend in Rise of Tiamat and Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus.

Ilsensine the illithid god would probably be an Aberration.

That actually makes a lot of sense.
