Mariah Carey showcased her chic sense of style as she stepped out in NYC on Saturday ahead of her performance at Madison Square Garden.
The We Belong Together songstress, 54 – who recently dropped a surprise music video for hit track All I Want For Christmas – flashed a cheerful smile as she exited the Salon de Ning at the Peninsula Hotel.
The performer donned a black, scooped shirt that was tucked into the waist of a black, leather miniskirt.
She layered the monochromatic look with a black, Chanel sweater that shimmered under the bright lights.
Carey slipped into a pair of sheer, black tights as well as closed-toed black heels and added $1,050 Chanel leg warmers for a luxurious flare.

Her locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly cascaded down straight past her shoulders.
Mariah accessorized her outfit with a glittering, silver necklace as well as a pair of large, black shades.
The beauty added a warm blush to cheekbones as well as a glossy, light pink tint to her lips for the outing.
Carey recently opened up to Vogue last month in November about how she dresses up for the festive season.
‘My idea of holiday dressing has always consisted of glamorous styles that truly complement the season in a fun and festive way.’
The singer continued to the outlet, ‘I love selecting looks that feel like their own celebratory moment.’
The mother-of-two held a big smile on her face as she stepped onto a crowded sidewalk shortly before her anticipated concert at Madison Square Garden in the heart of the city.
Before taking to the stage, she shared a snap on her main Instagram page to show off a stunning dress and special merch items available to fans.

The star dazzled in a figure-hugging, strapless red gown that clung to her frame and contained a skirt that flowed down to pool around her.
Her long hair was parted in the middle, and fell down past her shoulders in elegant curls.
She added glittering, silver dangly earrings as well as chunky, sparkling bracelets to complete the overall look for the concert.
Mariah flashed a smile while cradling records and a scarf in her hands. ‘New dress, new merch items, let’s go MSG!!!!!! @thegarden,’ she wrote in the caption.
She notably kicked off her Merry Christmas One And All! tour on November 15, and will end on December 17 while stopping by Madison Square Garden once again.
Aside from New York City, Mariah will also perform in cities including Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore for the remaining dates.
While making an appearance on Good Morning America, she discussed the tour and explained, ‘Last year we didn’t go, like, across the country. So, this year we’re doing that.’
The Grammy winner expressed that she wanted to gift her fans ‘the merriest of Christmases’ when it came to her holiday concerts where they are ‘enjoying being together.’

Earlier this week on Thursday, Carey dropped a surprise music video for her holiday hit, All I Want For Christmas (Festive Lambs Edition).
The video notably featured appearances from her twins Monroe and Moroccan, 12, and also Flowers hitmaker, Miley Cyrus.
When talking to GMA, she also reflected on the song’s legacy and reminisced on creating the track.
‘I was working on it by myself…on this little Casio keyboard and writing down words and thinking about, “What do I think of at Christmas? What do I love? What do I want? What do I dream of?”‘ she explained. ‘And that’s what started it.’
‘My goal was to do something timeless, so it didn’t feel like the ’90s, which is when I wrote it.’

‘My kids and I perfected our ultimate Christmas celebrations, and we try to stick to them every year,’ the Obsessed singer told Vogue.
‘Our favorite traditions are: A night time sleigh ride, seeing Santa Claus, opening presents underneath the tree, playing in the snow, cooking our family recipes, and most importantly, spending time together.’
In regards to her own Christmas wish list, Carey revealed, ‘I don’t want a lot for Christmas, to quote myself. I really just want to enjoy the holiday with my friends, loved ones, and of course, my fans on my Merry Christmas One and All tour!’
