Wedding performances are fairly typical for musicians just breaking into the industry, providing valuable exposure and a bit of extra income. However, when you’re Mariah Carey and don’t have a personal connection to the bride or groom, the dynamics of such a performance shift considerably.
In January 2017, Mariah was spotted in London just before performing at an exclusive Russian wedding, proving that even the most iconic stars occasionally entertain at private celebrations—but likely under very different terms.

Mariah was reportedly out in London with her new boyfriend, dancer Bryan Tanaka, before taking the stage.
The mother-of-two shared the stage with none other than Elton John. Why would two legends agree to perform at a 19-year-old’s wedding? TMZ reported that $4.2 million was shelled out just to have the two music greats take the stage. Now, we get it.

Mariah stepped out before the wedding in an all-black ensemble. The pop diva wore a zip-up sweater dress that opened at the front to reveal her sexy black lingerie.
The singer finished her look with diamonds, a butterfly ring, sunglasses, and black leather Christian Louboutin “Cross Me” sandals.

In February 2017, Mariah Carey showcased her style in Christian Louboutin’s “Cross Me” sandals at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
These towering heels have also been a favorite of stars like Jessica Chastain, Dakota Fanning, and Courtney Love.

Known for her glamorous style, Mariah Carey often gravitates towards bold, sky-high heels, like the iconic Christian Louboutin ‘Victoria’ pumps she’s been spotted wearing on numerous occasions.
These daring heels, featuring a six-inch stiletto and three-inch platform, add to her signature look by providing an extra lift that complements her diva persona. Mariah’s love for towering Louboutins isn’t just about height; it’s about embodying confidence and elegance, making each public appearance a memorable fashion moment.
