Any discomfort she may have experienced due to the cold was hidden behind her bright smile and powerful vocal cords as she sang out the crowd favorite, “All I Want For Christmas is You.”

Mariah wore long white gloves that stretched under the sleeves of her cozy shrug, making her look elegant and regal. To top it all off, the singer added a large white and silver necklace and sparkling dangle earrings visible through a cascade of her golden hair in ringlets.
