The Queen of Winter, Mariah Carey, has officially shed her layers—and more than that, she is showing some skin.
The “All I Want for Christmas” hitmaker—who mere months ago was serving up glamorous après-ski ensemble that included luxe fur vests, fabulous knee-high boots, ultra-cozy earmuffs, the puffiest of puffer jackets, and really just the whole cold-weather package—is reminding everyone she can do bombshell dressing for all temperatures. She proved it Saturday night at the pre-Grammys gala and Grammy Salute to Industry Icons.

Carey stepped out in a floor-grazing, figure-hugging, spaghetti-strap gown completely covered in large reflective silver sequins that shimmered and shone as she moved. And that wasn’t all: The head-turning dress by CD Greene featured a plunging V neckline and large triangular cutouts, extending from the middle of her bodice all the way to her back. Carey paired the centerpiece with what we assume were tall heels (not a hint of them poked through) and lots of bling, including a sparkly diamond tennis bracelet and gorgeous diamond teardrop earrings. For glam, the singer looked beautiful in a sultry smoky eye, fluttery eyelashes, bronzy blush, and glossy pink lip, with her hair styled in voluminous, bouncy curls and parted to the side.
Carey heated up another pre-Grammys carpet on Thursday, when she turned heads in caramel-colored couture from Schiaparelli. Her dress included a champagne corset bodysuit that featured panel detailing and pronounced cups at the heart-shaped neckline, layered under a large strip of sheer copper fabric that was tied to the side at her hip and draped to the ground like a dreamy skirt. She teamed the ethereal ensemble with glittery chocolate-brown pointed-toe heels, silver diamond bracelets, and diamond necklaces.
