Mariah’s Mountainside Style Soiree
Songbird supreme Mariah Carey descends upon Aspen’s snow-laden slopes, bringing her signature glamour to the ski town. Bundled in black faux fur and balancing expertly atop a pair of sky-high Christian Louboutin boots, Mimi proves wintry weather is no match for her commitment to chic.
Making an entrance worthy of the pages of Harper’s itself, the elusive chanteuse emerges swathed in inky black overcoat with lavish lapels of jet faux fur. Frosty Aspen winds whisper around Mariah yet dare not disturb the diva’s trademark tousled mane, which flows loosely beneath a knit Chanel cap emblazoned with double C’s. From shoulder to knee the look is black-on-black, accented by the subtle sequined glint of leggings which peek slightly from the slash of coat. Yet from the knee down, Mariah stuns with a tactical swap from black to red hot.
Slipping elegant feet into Christian Louboutin knee-high platform boots, Mariah opts for glossy patent leather married to the French brand’s signature red soles. With thick block heels measuring at least four inches, the boots gift the songstress with a subtle boost in height while providing sturdy footing across snow dusted streets. The bulbous almond toe shape lends an air of avant garde intrigue, at home amongst Aspen’s festive revelers and modish fur-clad elite.
Though the setting may be frostier, Mariah’s fondness for skyscraper heels holds steady as ever. The mother of two has long displayed affection for platforms and stilettos across red carpet events and off-duty escapades alike. Amongst her preferred top tier brands are Aquazzura, Sophia Webster, and icons of sex appeal footwear Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo. Statement making embellishments like crystals, metallic sheens, and vibrant hues often incorporate 70’s flair or festive sparkle suited perfectly to the eternally ebullient singer.
Yet for all her vertiginous heels, Mariah also pays homage to casual comfort courtesy of Australian sheepskin boot brand Ugg. The cozy calf-high styles join the songbird’s repertoire of ski-lodge appropriate footwear options, proving her fashion sense knows no bounds between stage, slopes, or boudoir. But today Aspen belongs to glossy Louboutin platforms, standing tall against the elements while Mariah herself stands tallest amongst ski-town style icons.
