Mariah Carey proved that she’s nothing short of a true professional after an awkward fashion moment mid-performance on Monday night.
The All I want For Christmas Is You singer put on a show at the Moët & Chandon holiday party in New York, dazzling guests with her vocal efforts.
However, the 52-year-old was forced to make up a song on the spot to distract the impressed crowd when a strap for her dress broke on stage.
As her team rushed to fix the faux pas, she ad-libbed lyrics joking about the situation, before continuing on with the show as if nothing ever happened.
A total pro.
Taking to Instagram after leaving the stage, Mariah joked that they were close to seeing a ‘full-on scandal’ erupt.

‘Oh my Gosh, it was very, very close to being a full-on scandal but we made it work,’ she told fans. ‘This part broke – it came untethered, I should say.
‘But we got it back and everybody was super professional.
‘I just had to make up a little song about [it].’
‘It was just a freestyle moment,’ she added. ‘It is what it was, it’s nothing great. We made it.’

Mariah recently made headlines when she well and truly cemented her status as the queen of Christmas when she confirmed that she would be opening the doors to her own home in New York for lucky fans.
The We Belong Together musician has teamed up with Booking.com to unveil Mariah’s Ultimate NYC Holiday Experience for two fans to get their hands on – complete with a stay at the Plaza hotel, an incredible itinerary, cocktails galore, a shopping trip and a pitstop at her very own Tribeca penthouse.
Not too shabby…
‘Christmas in New York is an experience of a lifetime, so I partnered with Booking.com to create a special holiday-themed travel experience in my hometown during the most wonderful time of the year,’ she said of the treat.
‘For one time only, I’m giving two fans the opportunity to have an unforgettable and magical extravaganza!
