The Queen of Christmas Goes Shopping: Mariah Carey’s Perfect Holiday Ensemble
In a scene straight out of a winter fashion fairytale, Mariah Carey – the undisputed Queen of Christmas – transformed Aspen’s snow-dusted streets into her personal runway, serving a masterclass in luxurious winter dressing that would make Santa himself envious.
The legendary songstress, whose “All I Want for Christmas Is You” remains the soundtrack of the season, embraced après-ski chic with a contemporary twist. At the heart of her ensemble was a statement-making red sweater dress that perfectly balanced sophistication with seasonal charm. The piece, featuring an alluring plunging neckline juxtaposed with a sophisticated high collar, was anchored by rustic brown button detailing – a subtle nod to traditional alpine aesthetics.
But darlings, let’s talk about those boots. Carey chose the crème de la crème of winter footwear: Giuseppe Zanotti’s Feridha boots, a $1,077 investment in winter luxury. These aren’t just boots; they’re a testament to Italian craftsmanship, featuring butter-soft leather in a dreamy cream hue that perfectly complements the winter landscape. The slouchy silhouette, enriched with plush shearling trim and sheepskin lining, proves that practical doesn’t mean sacrificing style. With a modest 2.7-inch block heel, these boots are made for both walking and turning heads.
In true diva fashion, Carey didn’t stop at the basics. Her accessories game was, as always, impeccable. A Chanel beanie in cream (because why wouldn’t you wear Chanel to brave the cold?) crowned her signature golden tresses, which cascaded past her shoulders in a sleek, straight style that would make any hairstylist proud. Cream-colored knitted gloves with shearling trim coordinated perfectly with her boots, while white sunglasses added that touch of mystery that every star needs, even in winter.
The look was completed with signature Mariah sparkle – dazzling jewelry that caught the light as effectively as fresh snow. A frosted pink lip gloss added the final touch of feminine allure to her Mrs. Claus-meets-modern-mogul ensemble.
For those looking to capture some of Carey’s winter magic without the four-figure price tag, similar boots can be found at Cult Gaia, Fashion Nova, The Cool Hour, and River Island. However, as any fashion devotee knows, it’s not just about the individual pieces – it’s about the confidence with which you wear them. And confidence is something our favorite Christmas chanteuse has never lacked.
