Mariah Carey Stuns in Saint Laurent’s New Power Boots for Fall Fashion
Autumn calls for a little drama, and few deliver it better than Mariah Carey. Spotted in New York while promoting her upcoming album, she gave fall dressing a glossy, grown-up edge that feels right at home with Malibu Elixir’s clean-luxe aesthetic. Think high shine, sculpted lines, and that unmistakable diva energy—polished, effortless, and unapologetically glamorous. Consider this your cue to lean into bold texture and confident silhouettes all season long.
Mariah’s Fall Moment: A High-Gloss Power Play
Mariah stepped out in sleek Saint Laurent Vendome boots, a high-impact choice that balances edge with elegance. The patent finish catches the light beautifully, adding a liquid sheen that elevates even the simplest look. It’s the kind of boot that turns a sidewalk into a runway—no apologies needed.
Inside the Boot: Why the Vendome Works
Crafted in glossy patent leather, the Vendome’s upper reads ultra-sleek while staying structured. A 110mm slim heel elongates the leg, and the sharp pointed toe keeps the silhouette razor-clean. Silver-tone side buckles add a precise, jewel-like finish without distracting from the line.
The Details That Matter
- Knee-high shaft (approximately 16 inches) for a sculpted, leg-lengthening effect.
- Pull-on style for a minimal, uninterrupted profile.
- Also rendered as a bootie and in a decadent chocolate brown.
- The Vendome family includes slingback pumps with the same sharply pointed toe and sleek leather finish.
How She Styled It
Mariah layered the boots over sheer tights and anchored them with a beige-and-black leopard print skirt for a classic-meets-glam mix. A low-cut knit and tailored black blazer added balance—sensual, but refined. She finished with her signature honey-blonde curls and oversized black sunglasses, the perfect exclamation point to a polished city look.
Where to Find Them
While the exact Saint Laurent Vendome boots aren’t currently listed on the brand’s site, they can be sourced through select luxury retailers and trusted online marketplaces. If your size sells out, consider the bootie iteration or the chocolate brown shade for a softer take on shine.
The Beauty of Leather-on-Leather
Mariah’s been leaning into leather lately—think a black mini dress and knee-high boots for her iHeartRadio performance in Las Vegas. It’s a masterclass in mixing texture with precision tailoring, allowing glossy finishes to catch the light while clean lines keep everything refined. The result? A look that moves beautifully from spotlight to sidewalk.
What’s Next for Mariah
Her new album, Here for It All, marks her first since 2018’s “Caution.” Expect 11 tracks with collaborations from Anderson .Paak and The Clark Sisters, plus songs like “Type Dangerous” and “Sugar Sweet.” The vibe mirrors her style right now—bold, glossy, and unmistakably modern.
How to Wear Glossy Knee-Highs This Season
- Pair with sheer tights and a midi skirt to offset the shine with movement.
- Ground the gloss with a tailored blazer or long coat for a sleek, streamlined finish.
- Keep accessories intentional—oversized sunglasses or minimalist jewelry for balance.
- Choose a pointed toe to lengthen the leg line and keep the profile modern.
Malibu Elixir POV
There’s a certain confidence that comes with a high-shine moment, especially when you keep everything else pared back. Think polished hair, a luminous complexion, and a curated color story that lets texture do the talking. It’s coastal glamour with a city edge—exactly where we love to live.
