As the holiday season approaches, Mariah Carey was spotted in Aspen, Colorado, indulging in a day of designer shopping. Rumors have been circulating that the renowned singer has recently ended her long-term relationship with boyfriend Bryan Tanaka. Despite the alleged breakup, Carey seemed to be enjoying her solo trip, dressed in an all-white ensemble that perfectly captured the wintry spirit.
Donning a cropped white Prada puffer jacket, priced at $2,500, Carey showcased her impeccable sense of style. She paired the jacket with a white tank and a short flared skirt, exhibiting a tasteful combination of elegance and comfort. To combat the cold weather, she chose to wear sheer white tights and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti boots, embellished with chunky heels and shearling trim, retailing at $1,795. The snowy look was completed with a chunky diamond necklace and a pair of oversized white shades, which she later replaced with aviators. Carey also opted for long extensions in her hair, styling it in a high ponytail.
Usually accompanied by her long-term boyfriend during her annual Aspen trips, Carey was seen exploring the stores alone this time. Sources close to the couple suggested that the Grammy winner had embarked on the shopping spree without Tanaka. Speculations about the couple’s breakup first arose in November when Tanaka did not participate in Carey’s “Merry Christmas One and All!” show. Tanaka has been an integral part of her concerts since 2006, leading fans to question his noticeable absence.
During an interview with People, Carey subtly hinted at the difficulties she faced in the previous holiday season. With anticipation and excitement, she shared, “I’ve been looking forward to this Christmas for, like, the whole year. Since last year—because last year wasn’t the greatest.” Despite her vague statement, it was apparent that Carey yearned for a more joyous and fulfilling Christmas celebration this time.
Undoubtedly, Mariah Carey, hailed as the Queen of Christmas, will undoubtedly capture the holiday spirit in her own unique way. Regardless of her relationship status, she is poised to create an enchanting and memorable holiday experience. With her exceptional talent and unwavering passion for music, Carey is certain to spread joy and cheer to her adoring fans this festive season.
