Mariah Carey was the guest of honor at the Empire State Building last week, where she turned on the building’s lights for Christmas.
Her joyful song “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is a modern holiday classic, released in 1994 as part of her album Merry Christmas. It has become one of the best-selling Christmas singles of all time,

In the spirit of the holiday season, Mariah wore a festive red cardigan and black tights styled with a thick leather belt.

The American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress wore a five-inch pair of Alaïa lace-up ankle booties to add more “Mrs. Claus” to the look.

Of course, Mariah’s outfit would be complete without some costly diamond jewelry. This diva added major glam to her ensemble with a chunky layering of sparkling bracelets on both wrists, solitaire diamond earrings, and a stunning ruby necklace.
