Mariah Carey Uses a Unique Jewelry Hack to Keep Her $8,300 Dress from Touching the Ground

NEED TO KNOW

• Mariah Carey styled her $8,300 Schiaparelli gown by wearing its gold chain as a necklace to prevent dragging

• Carey dined with Kris Jenner in Santa Monica, where Jenner wore a bold red coat and matching trousers

• Carey recently celebrated her twins’ 15th birthday with heartfelt Instagram posts and a party hosted by ex Nick Cannon

Mariah Carey is sharing a brilliant clothing hack.

On Sunday, May 31, the singer, 57, stepped out for dinner with Kris Jenner in Santa Monica, Calif. For the occasion, Carey opted for a glamorous white gown with a keyhole cutout.

The Schiaparelli design, which retails for $8,300, features a gold chain that attaches to the bottom of the skirt. On the brand’s website, the look is styled with the model holding the chain wrapped around her wrist, lifting the skirt slightly.

Carey, however, took things a step further. Rather than hold onto the chain, she wore it around her neck so it doubled as a necklace while also preventing the dress from dragging on the ground.

The star also added a pair of gold strappy sandals and wore her blonde hair long and straight.

Carey posed for photos with Jenner, 70, who wore a long, double-breasted red coat and matching red trousers.

Carey recently celebrated her twins’ 15th birthday.

On Thursday, April 30, the Grammy winner shared posts on Instagram in honor of twins Moroccan and Monroe. In her post, the two siblings could be seen on either side of their mom, smiling as they wore T-shirts that read “Rocky & Roe 15th Birthday” with the Disney logo on them.

The proud mom also included a video of her kids in front of their birthday cakes. She captured Monroe and Moroccan as they blew out their birthday candles. “Happy Birthday, Roc & Roe!!!! 🎉🎁 I love you so much ❤️ Mom,” Carey wrote.

“I love you mom! ❤️,” Monroe wrote in the comments. “Love you mom, im so grateful ❤️🫂,” Moroccan added.

Carey shares the twins with ex-husband Nick Cannon.
