Mariah Carey Is Really, Really Dressed Up to Go Shopping

Mariah Carey never misses an opportunity to debut a glamorous look — no matter the circumstance. The pop star recently wore an extravagant $1,890 black Hérve Léger gown during a shopping trip to Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills.

The 46-year-old’s figure-hugging bandage gown featured a flattering mermaid silhouette, sheer geometric appliqués, and an open back — an unconventional choice even for a trip to a luxury department store. Even for Mariah Carey.

She completed her red carpet-ready look with black platform heels and a leather jacket, accessorized with plenty of dazzling diamonds, and styled her hair in a high, side ponytail.

Although Carey recently announced she is taking a break from social media to be with her loved ones and prepare for her upcoming tour after the New Year’s Eve fiasco, it’s clear that the star’s dramatic fashion flair is here to stay.

Carey’s style has been described by some as over the top — particularly when she shopped at a Whole Foods in Honolulu in November wearing a white leotard with a plunging neckline, huge diamonds, and sunglasses.

She posted a number of playful images from the outing to her Instagram page, which boasts 5 million followers.

She also posed with fans at the store.

Mariah’s wardrobe choices might be unique, but they definitely keep people talking, which is a very smart thing to do if you’re in the middle of a social media break.
