When the snow begins to fall in Aspen, the world waits for one arrival: Mariah Carey. The undisputed Queen of Christmas has made the Colorado mountain town her winter kingdom, and every year she manages to turn the sidewalk into a high-fashion runway. This season, she is leaning into the maximalist glam that only a diva of her caliber can pull off, proving that being extra is the only way to do winter right.
Mariah Carey steps out in Aspen wearing animal-print fur coat and boots in photo
In a recent viral moment shared by the popular X (formerly Twitter) account @metgalacrave, Mariah Carey was captured epitomizing the “Aspen Rich” aesthetic. The photo showcases the singer stepping out in a voluminous, tiger-striped faux fur coat that immediately commanded attention. With its exaggerated shoulders and waist-cinching gold chain belt, the coat is a masterclass in mountain-chic opulence.
To ground the statement piece, Carey paired the coat with sleek black leggings and her signature towering black leather boots. Her look was completed with oversized square sunglasses — a necessity for the Aspen glare. Additionally, her hair was styled in her trademark honey-blonde curls that cascaded over the fur collar.
The @metgalacrave post highlighted why Carey remains a fan favorite in the ski destination. While other celebrities might opt for technical puffer jackets or understated, quiet luxury, the musician doubles down on old-school Hollywood glamor. Standing against a backdrop of a twinkling Christmas tree and high-end boutiques, she looks perfectly at home.
It isn’t just an outfit; it’s also an event. For Mariah Carey, Aspen isn’t just about the skiing. It’s about maintaining a standard of fashion that feels as festive and legendary as her holiday discography. Whether she’s shopping at Gucci or heading to a private lodge, she remains the ultimate Aspen style icon.
