American singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer Mariah Carey, known as the ‘Songbird Supreme’ and ‘Queen of Christmas’ thrills fans with her five-octave vocal range.

Seemingly unstoppable as a talent, Mariah Carey did lose in November her efforts for an American trademark ‘Queen of Christmas’ supporting her business interests. To add a bit of insult to injury, researchers in Denmark recorded a colony of bats ‘singing’ with a range of seven octaves. The research reported on December 1 confirmed that the bats made low-frequency sounds through their false vocal folds, a part of the voice box not typically used by humans to speak or sing.

Never bowing to life’s obstacles, Carey was interviewed by Alex Hawgood for W Magazine’s December 2022 issue. Sarah Moonves styled Mariah in a faux fur coat from Adrienne Landau by Saulo Villela, Dolce & Gabbana, Michael Kors Collection, Miu Miu, Polo Ralph Lauren and more. Serge Normant does Mariah’s hair for the fashion shoot, with Kristofer Buckle on makeup.

Center stage in the fashion images shot by Ethan James Green [IG] is the jewelry — a special collection of butterfly-inspired pieces that makeup the new Chopard x Mariah Carey diamonds collection, honoring the pop star’s seminal 1997 album ‘Butterfly’.

The collection is the result of a close collaboration with Carey, Chopard and its Co-President and Artistic Director, Caroline Scheufele.

Hawgood and Carey reflect back on the black and white music video for ‘My All’ directed by the legendary fashion photographer Herb Ritts. Carey is clearly impacted by the experience, telling W Magazine readers:

Herb was a genius. I don’t even know how to put it into words, but I’m just so thankful that I was able to work with him. And the only reason I was able to was because I was out of that sequestered situation; you know the one. [Laughs] Serge Normant did the hair. Laura Mercier did the makeup. L’Wren Scott was the stylist. She put me in that incredible dress. I swear, darling, my body never looked better. Everyone was just so, so talented. They don’t make videos like that anymore.

Mariah Carey’s kids with Nick Cannon Moroccan and Monroe, now 11, are also featured in the shoot. Cannon and Carey separated in 2014 and have been divorced since 2016. They remain on good terms and Mariah keeps no scorecard of Cannon’s many babies and baby mamas.

Mariah Carey’s two-hour live Christmas concert airs Dec. 20 on CBS and Paramount.
