Mariah Carey’s Olympics Opening Ceremony Necklace Has Jaw-Dropping $15 Million Price Tag
Mariah Carey certainly glittered at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
As the “Touch My Body” singer performed at Milan’s San Siro Stadium during the Games’ Opening Ceremony—hosted on NBC by Mary Carillo and Terry Gannon Feb. 6—she sparkled in a dazzling diamond set with a stunning price tag.
Indeed, while Mariah donned a white and silver sequined Roberto Cavalli dress with a large, white feathered shawl, she also wore a diamond necklace, earrings and bracelet, provided by Levuma High Jewellery, valued at $15 million.
Plus, she kept turning heads while singing, in the native language, the Italian classic “Volare” and featured her signature whistle tone during a rendition of her 2025 song “Nothing Is Impossible.”
Later in the Opening Ceremony, world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli and The White Lotus alum Sabrina Impacciatore made appearances, as well.
Though Mariah—mom to twins Monroe and Moroccan, 14, with ex Nick Cannon—sang the national anthem during the 2002 Super Bowl, she has never performed the famed halftime show. As such, the Olympics marks one of the largest stages she has ever performed.
And connecting with those audiences is the part that keeps her coming back every time.
“It’s funny—someone just showed me a clip of me doing [“Hero”] back in the early Nineties, and there was a little girl in the audience I hugged,” the Grammy winner told Harper’s Bazaar in July. “And then last night, I gave a stuffed toy to another child who was watching.”
The 56-year-old added, “It’s amazing, really, to think of these two girls from different times, both about five years old and both hearing my music.”

But when it comes to the detractors of her music, Mariah has learned to silence the noise.
“It’s nice when people say good things and give you a good response,” she continued, “and then if they don’t like it, and they don’t say good things, you have to be able to push that away, let that go, you know?”
After all, she quipped, “Because why, at this point in my life, would I really be worried about that stuff?”
