Carey was shot by acclaimed photographer Ethan James Green and styled by Gabriela Karefa-Johnson. In the images, the “Touch My Body” songstress can be seen outfitted in a variety of lingerie styles cast in seasonal red and rose gold hues, often embellished with dainty bows or trimmed with delicate coordinating lace.

Accompanied by a bright red and white polka-dotted bodycon dress and a faux-fur shawl, Carey sported a pair of matching red Love Link 105 slingback pumps from Aquazzura. Retailing for $1,250, the footwear features red grosgrain uppers that transition into triangular pointed toes and thick and sturdy crystal-embellished slingback straps. 4.13-inch stiletto heels rounded out the set.

The footwear featured crystalized straps, gilded uppers, sharp pointed toes, decorative dangling charms and 4-inch stiletto heels.

These often include statement-making elements like metallic tones, crystals, and bright colors. Aside from her heels, Carey also favors cozy Ugg boots while off-duty. Carey also launched an extensive collection of footwear with HSN in 2010. Carey has a deep love of platforms, often incorporating them into her ensembles.
