Divalicious: Mariah Carey upstages Santa in 2 revealing outfits (PHOTOS)

It’s been nearly two decades since she released her holiday hit All I Want for Christmas Is You.And Mariah Carey on Tuesday night proved just how enduring the track has been with festive fans as she performed at New York City’s Rockefeller Center for the annual tree lighting ceremony.

Below the 80ft tall Norway Spruce which will be lit on Wednesday night, and with Santa Claus by her side, Mariah belted out the track – and gave fans an eyeful of her ample cleavage while prancing around the stage in a low-cut red and silver dress.

Temperatures fell into the 30s in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night.And while Mariah acknowledged she would be performing in the bitter cold, she wasn’t detoured from slipping into a frilly dress.

Still there wasn’t a hint of a shiver from the star, who daintily held her mic in hand with a pair of opera length red satin gloves to match her frock.
