Mariah Carey brings on the holiday cheer in a bright red jacket and matching sunglasses in Aspen

Mariah Carey looked fashionable on Thursday evening as she stepped out in Aspen, Colorado.

The 55-year-old legendary singer — who just wrapped her Christmas Time tour — was clad in light-colored knit dress and matching leggings.

The mother-of-two, who shares 13-year-old fraternal twins with ex-husband Nick Cannon, topped the outfit with a bright, apple-red jacket with four front pockets.

She elevated the ensemble with a pair of brown, suede, knee-high boots with a heel.

And the songstress complemented the look with a pair of retro-inspired, red, aviator sunglasses.

Her signature blonde locks were swept into a casual updo with long, face-framing pieces left out at the front.

Carey’s complexion was smooth and glowy underneath her shades and she finished her makeup with a glossy nude lip.

On Thursday the pop star took to Instagram to share a festive video clip that showed her attempt to wrap a gift. 

She engaged her online audience while dressed in a plush white robe as she sat in front of an elaborately decorated Christmas tree.

‘We are wrapping some gifts,’ Mariah announced at the beginning of the clip before presenting a pair of faux fur white earmuffs.

‘This is really, really not my thing. I don’t want to be the one to have to do this,’ the hitmaker noted while poorly covering the paper around the item.

‘I’ll buy the gifts, no problem — because I’m not good at [wrapping], not because I think I’m above gift wrapping,’ she clarified. 

The entertainer later laughed and repeated, ‘I do not want to be doing this,’ before adding, ‘And the scissors are huge!’ 

‘Wrapping gifts is NOT as easy as it looks!! What gifts are you wrapping this year??’ she wrote in a caption to her 14 million followers.

The Fantasy hitmaker just wrapped her Christmas Time tour, with her son Moroccan and daughter Monroe hitting the stage with her on the final night in NYC.

The tour was announced in August and it celebrated the 30th anniversary of her timeless holiday hit, All I Want For Christmas Is You.

The first show was on November 6 in Highland, California, and the closing concert was December 17 in Brooklyn.

Mariah’s setlist was rounded out with 26 songs and the concert was around 90 minutes-long.

Audiences enjoyed renditions of the superstar’s biggest, most recognizable songs as well as holiday classics.

It’s become customary for Carey to promote her mid-90s Christmas album during the last two months of the year.

The lead single is ubiquitous around the holiday season as fans annually push it back to the top of the music charts.
