It’s a heel, heel fantasy, baby.
Mariah Carey was spotted with a major outfit change on Friday, swapping her signature sky-high heels for a pair of flat Gucci loafers as she stopped to greet fans and sign autographs outside her hotel in São Paulo, Brazil.
The “All I Want For Christmas Is You” star appeared to be sporting a pair of Gucci Jordaan loafers in black, which retail for just over $1,000. She paired the flats with a black mini dress and black tights.
She switched her soft curls up for straight locks parted down the middle, and finished the look with a pair of chic sunglasses.
The “Butterfly” hitmaker was seen happily signing autographs and waving at photographers in the sleek black ensemble.
Her dramatic swap comes just hours after she sparked fan concern when new footage of the singer surfaced, in which she appeared to be having trouble walking.
In a viral clip circulating on social media, the 57-year-old was seen clutching onto a female assistant’s arm while she greeted fans in Brazil.
She was wearing a pair of sky-high boots from Gucci, emblazoned with the designer’s interlocking “G” logo. The boots, aptly named the “bombshell boot,” retail for $2,300 and feature a steel stiletto heel.
Many users seemed to be worried about the singer, sharing their worries in the comments section of the Instagram post.
“Is she alright? Looks like she can’t see properly? I hope everything is fine,” one person wrote.
Another questioned, “Why does she always need her hand held?!” while a third wondered, “Should we be worried?”
Others simply enthused over the songstress, with one person gushing, “Queen ❤️”
A rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s previous request for comment.
Back in February 2025, the Grammy-winning songstress sparked fan worries with a “stiff” video taken at a Celebration of Mimi residency show at Las Vegas’ Park MGM.
In the fan clip, Carey was singing her hit “Fantasy” when she slowly took a few steps to the side of the stage.
The singer was performing the lyrics to the song when, according to fan footage, she gingerly stepped to the side of the stage — with a backup dancer continuing to dance energetically around her.
Carey seemed unfazed by the seeming slowness of her movement and smiled throughout the performance.
