Effortlessly blending holiday spirit with undeniable glamour, the singer turned heads in a striking, red sweater dress. The knit ensemble clung perfectly to her frame, highlighting her curves while keeping her cozy for the winter chill.

The addition of white gloves and oversized sunglasses brought a touch of vintage Hollywood glam, giving her a regal aura even in a casual setting.

With her signature long blonde locks cascading over her shoulders and a sparkling necklace peeking through, the music icon looked every bit the festive fashionista.

The sentiment continued with others asserting, “Looks like it’s padded not look right [sic],” and “🤣that’s her 😆 but what does she have stuffed on her backside [sic]? 🙄😂.”

Criticism of her outfit choice also surfaced in the comments. “She must have the worst stylist ever! Nothing she ever wears fits her! She needs to face the facts that as you age it is even more important to wear clothing that fits you!” declared one commenter.

The comparisons didn’t stop there. Several readers shared similar sentiments, with comments such as, “She wearing a diper [sic],” “Looks like a diaper under her dress,” and “Is she wearing a diaper?”

One particularly pointed comment read, “Whats [sic] happened with her backside – it looks like it’s padded!!” while another reader penned, “Her natural curves?🤔does that include her implants🤣.”

Her iconic holiday hit, “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” has once again topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, securing its 17th cumulative week at the number one spot.

According to Billboard, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” now holds the third-longest domination in the Hot 100 chart’s 66-year history. The track has reigned supreme for three consecutive weeks during this holiday season alone, reaffirming its place as a staple of the Christmas season.

Underneath the photo announcement from Billboard, she wrote, “This is amazing!!!! Will never ever ever ever ever take this for granted. Merry early Christmas!!!!” punctuating her heartfelt message with a series of heart and Christmas tree emojis.

Beyond her remarkable Billboard achievement, Carey has been reveling in continued career triumphs. The diva wrapped up her highly successful “Mariah Carey’s Christmas Time” tour, which concluded on December 17 with a grand finale in New York.

The carousel offered fans a behind-the-scenes look at the tour’s magic. One standout image showed Carey in a dazzling red ensemble adorned with intricate gold embellishments, her radiant smile reflecting the excitement of the evening.
