Throwing it back to February 2017, Mariah Carey turned heads outside Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles as she made her first performance following her infamous New Year’s Eve mishap with Ryan Seacrest.
The then-46-year-old diva delivered her new ballad “I Don’t” with rapper YG, but it was her outfit that stole the spotlight.

The Timeless Appeal of Christian Louboutin’s Marlenarock Pumps
The Christian Louboutin Marlenarock is one of the French label’s most striking pump designs, blending classic sophistication with bold modern details. Typically crafted with a sleek stiletto heel and pointed toe, the style is best known for its distinctive crossover straps or vamp design, which gives it both structure and allure.
Most often seen in the 100mm heel height, the Marlenarock has also been released in higher variations and across a variety of luxe finishes — from black leather and burgundy patent to blush suede and fiery red patent. Like all of Louboutin’s creations, each pair carries the brand’s signature red-lacquered sole, a mark of timeless glamour.
