Mariah Carey isn’t called the Queen of Christmas for nothing. After wrapping up her Christmastime Tour, where she performed her holiday season favorites and displayed a range of festive outfits, the Songbird Supreme is spreading the holiday cheer to Aspen, Colorado, where she will spend Christmas with her family.
Mariah recently stepped out for lavish last-minute Christmas shopping at a local Prada store, and she looked magnificent in her festive outfit, which perfectly captured the spirit of the season.

Although it appears costumey, I appreciate how it still captures her glitzy, sensual, and sophisticated fashion sense. The ensemble was giving Mrs. Claus but high fashion!
Mariah Carey Radiates Glamour in a Festive Gucci Sweater Dress
Carey constantly radiates sophistication with sensual refinement, often pairing edgy and feminine pieces highlighting her hourglass figure. Her latest look was no different.
During her holiday shopping spree, the iconic singer displayed her famous curves in a red knit sweater dress. She chose the piece from the Gucci Fall/Winter 2019 collection, designed by former creative director Alessandro Michele.
I appreciate that she chose a knit sweater dress for her outing. It’s not only appropriate for the chilly Aspen weather but also comfortable and flattering because of its stretchy material that fits the body snugly.
Red isn’t exactly my color; it’s too festive. Nevertheless, I like how it complements Mariah’s complexion.
The plunging scoop neckline highlights her ample cleavage, while the dramatic buttoned high collar and mutton sleeves add to its demure charm. While I find the silhouette interesting—especially the mutton sleeves, popular during the romantic era of the 1830s—I particularly like the knitted texture, which lends the dress a luxurious feel.

The singer has a long-standing relationship with Gucci. Over the years, she has worn several items from the luxury fashion brand, such as a vibrant sequined jacket that made her stand out at the Lego Batman movie premiere and tall platform heels that accentuated her 5’7” frame.
White Accessories Elevate the Holiday Ensemble
Mariah Carey styled the look with white accessories, enhancing the red dress’s festive vibe. They add a dramatic touch that draws attention to the rich red fabric and gives the ensemble a chic yet playful vibe.
Her Giuseppe Zanotti boots, white cashmere Chanel beanie, and matching white Chanel gloves not only added a wintery charm to the outfit but also provided practical warmth.
I love how practical and chic her “Iwona” boots are. Made from light beige leather in Italy, they feature a slouchy knee-high shaft with sheepskin trims and lining, making them ideal for cold weather.
Along with adding height, the thick rubber one-piece lug sole and chunky block heels, which are around 2.75 inches high, offer traction on slippery or uneven surfaces. These must-have winter boots are available for $1,795 at Farfetch.

A Mariah Carey ensemble wouldn’t be complete without her signature glitzy bling. Injecting her edgy flair into the chic red dress, Carey wore a near-blinding diamond necklace that bears her MC initials.
She wore contemporary rectangular white sunglasses and rounded out her look with rosy lipstick and long, straight blonde hair.
