Carey has multiple shelves of designer heels in her closet organized by color and pattern. A self-described shoe fanatic, she has a pair of heels for every occasion — even bowlingHowever, she said that the most important shoes are her slide sandals, of which she has two pairs.

The singer also keeps dozens of bejeweled, sparkling gowns on display around her closet, which is comprised of several spacious rooms.

"I guess I dress up a lot, but if I had my way I would just wear lingerie and walk around the house," Carey admitted. She has two separate rooms in her closet devoted to lingerie from brands like La Perla and Agent Provocateur.

Carey, who said that she loves the glamour of the old Hollywood era, owns several pieces of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia including the actress's makeup compact, Golden Globes acceptance speech, and childhood piano — although she does not store the piano inside her closet.

It’s funny to think that @mariahcarey’s “Heartbreaker”-video look is almost two decades old, given just how right that late-’90s fashion moment seems for now. “We ripped the top of them,” said Carey, who still has the faded jeans. “I hated the way they were so high-waisted. My friend was like, ‘Yo, where did you get those?!’ “ Tap the link in our bio for more from her immaculate closet. Filmed by @alvarocdc. Edited by @ntblatt.

Another highlight of Carey's closet is her expansive purse collection that includes a pink Birkin bag that was a gift from Floyd Mayweather. She's also a fan of accessories, and rounds out her wardrobe with over 15 pairs of sunglasses.
