Karol G Dons Barely-There Sandals, Mariah Carey Slips on Go Go Boots and More Billboard Music Awards 2023 Red Carpet Arrivals

The 2023 Billboard Music Awards brought out numerous stars for a statement-making red carpet.

During the occasion, musicians of all genres stepped out to celebrate their musical accomplishments. Some, like Mariah Carey, made themed statements with tall boots in numerous sharp hues. Others, like Karol G and Kelli Erdmann, slipped on sharp high heels for a glamorous edge at the event.

Mariah Carey made a holiday-worthy arrival in a set of white leather block-heeled boots, accented with matching ribbed tights, Chanel sunglasses and diamond-covered butterfly rings. The “All I Want for Christmas Is You” musician’s shoes added a versatile base to her look for the occasion: a long-sleeved white minidress with faux fur cuffs, complete with a zip-up bodice and gleaming crystal trim.

Karol G sleekly stepped out in a set of Gianvito Rossi‘s $795 Metropolis sandals, featuring see-through asymmetric straps and sleek stiletto heels. The pair added a versatile edge to the musician’s attire: a glossy, clear strapless top and matching miniskirt — each covered in glossy, twisted brown accents mimicking wet hair.
