Mariah Carey’s classic festive song ‘All I Want For Christmas is You’ has finally topped the US charts – 25 years after it was first released.
When the hit song made its debut in 1994 it was as an EP and not a single, meaning it wasn’t allowed to compete in Billboard’s Hot 100.
Rule changes saw the song first enter the chart in 2000 and in recent years it has edged closer to the top spot.
“We did it,” Carey tweeted, with a string of emojis to convey happy tears.
She celebrated the 25th anniversary of the song – damn I feel old as I remember the original release – by turning on the lights of the Empire State Building on Tuesday (December 17) in New York City.
In classic Mimi style she was giving us pure diva wearing an Alexandre Vauthier gown.
Yes, this has champagne reception, New York premiere or awards ceremony written all over it, but knowing Mariah, and having watched her on MTV Cribs, it wouldn’t surprise me if this embellished dress with a dangerously low neckline was something she wore around the house.
All in a days’ work for Mimi. Jewels (a Wempe ruby and diamond necklace) and all.

Unflattering and dated.
Her shapewear seems to be all wrong for this form fitting gown but I appreciate the glam
Mariah, please immediately seek advice from Niecy Nash on your distracting shapewear situation.
Yeah, it’s 100% Mariah. But someone should tell her, it’s very unflattering, on the bust and on the hips. with such a figure she can do so much better.
Mariah doesn’t care. It’s rare for her to wear something flattering?
I think a better undergarment and different shoe would have made this a bit better.
I adore Mariah Carey but even I have to draw the line at this super dated and unflattering look. I enjoy her diva image but I can’t with this look.
Mariah Carey’s entire image is deliberately cheesy, so enjoy it with a delicious tapande. I’m just glad she’s wearing a well-known designer.
Well, if you’re going to celebrate a song from 1994 you may as well have an outfit that looks like it’s from 1994..
Omg
hahahaha burn
Oy vey, this is unflattering.
My thoughts exactly.
I LOVE All I Want for Christmas and have since it is came out. Leave it to Mariah to dress like the Empire State Building.
Oh well, this is her diva image, like it or not.
