Mariah Carey, the undisputed Queen of Christmas, brought her signature sparkle to Aspen, Colorado, during a festive shopping trip that doubled as a fashion statement. On December 21, the 55-year-old icon was spotted at Gucci’s boutique in the upscale mountain town, showcasing a stylish and cozy outfit that highlighted both winter warmth and high-end glamour.
Dressed in a coordinated ensemble from Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, Mariah stood out with a chunky ribbed wool cardigan adorned with shimmering fringe and a matching sleeveless mini dress. The combination of comfort and luxury was a perfect blend for the snowy season. The pieces, together valued at an impressive $17,000, perfectly captured Mariah’s flair for opulence.
To complete her winter chic look, Mariah accessorized with glittering tights, a silver statement necklace, and a cream-colored Gucci rib-knit wool beanie featuring the brand’s iconic monogram. She kept practical, yet fashionable, by wearing white snow boots, which effortlessly transitioned from the boutique to the snowy streets of Aspen. The snow boots not only kept her warm but also added a touch of functionality to her otherwise glamorous appearance.
Mariah’s signature elegance was enhanced by aviator sunglasses and a sleek, straight hairstyle, creating a perfect balance between luxury and comfort. It was clear that Mariah had mastered the art of winter fashion while maintaining her usual glimmer and charm.

Despite the success of the tour, Mariah faced some challenges this year. She was forced to cancel three performances due to illness, a setback that didn’t dampen her enthusiasm. "I really love doing it," Mariah shared. "I just need to plan it a little differently because this year I got sick from being out there too long." Despite the health hiccups, Mariah expressed her gratitude for the tour, emphasizing her deep connection to her fans and the tradition of her Christmas concerts.
Reflecting on the magical moments of the tour, Mariah recalled a hilarious encounter with Rihanna, who attended one of her shows. The moment became a viral sensation when Mariah playfully signed Rihanna’s chest during the performance. “That was hilarious,” Mariah remembered. “I’d heard Rihanna was coming, but I didn’t expect her to be in the actual crowd. She was so much fun.”
