Mariah Carey recently made headlines by scaling the Great Wall of China in 6-inch platform heels.
The 55-year-old pop singer shared a photo on social media of her glamorous ascent, captioning it:
“At the Great Wall of China! Someone should’ve warned me about heels (not that I would’ve listened)”.
Dressed in a chic black outfit with full makeup and styled hair, Carey was accompanied by her twin daughters, Moroccan and Monroe.
Tourists filmed the star as she received assistance from staff members as she navigated the steep steps.

Fans reacted with a mix of admiration and disbelief. Others questioned the practicality of her signature footwear choice:
“Only mariah carey would walk the great wall of china in heels (and actually be able to do it)”
“First woman to walk the Great Wall in heels. Another day, another record for the Queen!”
“It’s not Christmas yet. Not time to come out.”
“Heels on the Great Wall? Bold choice! Comfort is key for those steps!”
This daring feat comes shortly after Carey shared news of personal tragedy, having lost both her mother and sister on the same day in August.
