Thick and sturdy block heels totaling 3 to 4 inches in height finished off the set, offering the singer an added boost. Platform styles are a common occurrence in Carey’s wardrobe, providing the short star with a striking boost in height every time.

Knee-high boots, similar to the “Touch My Body” singer’s, are a top style during the fall and winter seasons, thanks to their full coverage and versatile nature. Short-heeled leather and suede styles in black, olive, brown, and tan colorways are usually the most popular, available in recent collections from top brands including Sam Edelman, Boden, Aquatalia, and Dear Frances.

Outfitted in a tonal black look, Carey sported a minidress featuring a plunging neckline and a fitted construction. Overtop her dress, the performer donned a black leather cropped bomber jacket featuring a puffy collar. Providing her look with extra coverage, Carey also wore sheer black tights. Rounding out her look, the songwriter donned large black rectangular sunglasses, accompanied by dazzling jewelry. Carey wore her blond tresses slicked up and out of her face into a messy updo.

Carey’s penchant for glamour remains unmatched. The mom of two often opts for stiletto-heeled platform sandals and pointed-toe pumps on and off the red carpet from top brands, including Aquazzura, Sophia Webster, Christian Louboutin, and Jimmy Choo. These often include statement-making elements like metallic tones, crystals, and bright colors. Aside from her heels, Carey also favors cozy Ugg boots while off-duty. Carey also launched an extensive collection of footwear with HSN in 2010.
