Mariah Carey put on a show-stopping display in the style department as she prepared to rehearse her upcoming show at Madison Square Garden.
The Queen of Christmas, 54, hit a fashion high note in a sexy LBD and voluminous black jacket as she arrived to a studio on Friday to rehearse her upcoming show.
Mariah – who recently released a new music video for All I Want for Christmas Is You – slipped her toned limbs in sheer black tights and leg warmers as she strode across the street in leather ankle boots.
She piled her brunette hair up into a no-fuss ponytail and concealed her eyes behind large square sunglasses.
The style icon glammed up the look with a glittering necklace and her silver rings.

Merry Christmas One and All! is the ongoing twelfth concert tour by Carey.
It began on November 15, 2023, in Highland, California, and is set to come to an end on December 17, 2023, at New York City’s Madison Square Garden after 16 dates.
Mariah’s winter hit All I Want For Christmas has shown remarkable staying power, and it has topped the Hot 100 singles chart every year in the holiday season since 2019, for a total of 12 weeks at number one.
Only two other Carey songs have remained at number one for more than 10 weeks.
Her other hits with longevity include We Belong Together from 2005 and her Boyz II Men collaboration One Sweet Day.
That 1996 single spent 16 weeks at number one — a record at the time — while We Belong Together was at number one for 14 weeks.
During an appearance on ITV’s This Morning, Mariah admitted she never expected All I Want For Christmas Is You to become the mega hit it now is.
‘No, I didn’t [expect that] and normally when people ask me the “did you know” type thing, I pretty much say, “Yeah I had an idea or I knew,” but with this, I didn’t know.

‘It was the first Christmas song I’d ever written and I just wanted it to be real to me. To my little girls’ self… like, what are the things I think about Christmas, what did I want, what did I wish for?’
She continued: ‘When I first wrote it, I wanted it to be timeless. I didn’t want it to be something that felt like a specific year — I wanted it to be something that I could have heard as a little kid growing up.
‘I don’t know what version of Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer I heard as a kid, or Walking in a Winter Wonderland, but I just know that I loved those songs.
‘So I wasn’t thinking “oh my song is going to be as big as those songs” but I was like, “Let me do something that makes me feel like I’m getting the experience of listening to a classic.”‘
