Mariah Carey's Snow Princess outfit
Mariah Carey arrived on the scene in a stunning winter themed outfit: a long-sleeve zippered mini dress with fuzzy cuffs and a bedazzled hem. The singer zipped the dress up just about halfway, giving fans a peek at her famous curves. She pulled on a pair of white tights to stay warm, and wore knee-high white heeled boots to keep the theme going.
She accessorized with chunky silver statement rings and white round-grace sunglasses. She wore her hair in waves cascading down her back and chest, and kept the glam to a minimum with a pink lip and light eye makeup.
For her grand entrance to the stage, Mariah was lowered down on a ski-lift chair. She stood in front of a ski-lodge backdrop as dancers roller-bladed around her in festive outfits. Her 12-year-old twins also joined her on stage for her performance, dancing next to their famous mom.
"I love it," Carey told Access about her children taking part in the show. "I love seeing them stepping into this performance space, this music space, and the fact that they're eager to do it, that's on them," she said.
Mariah took home the Chart Achievement Award for her classic Christmas song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" after the song spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 100 Chart. The award was presented to her by Moroccan and Monroe. "I'm really grateful," Mariah said in her acceptance speech.
