The Queen of Christmas and the Queen of Calabasas serving luxe bestie energy outside Nobu Malibu. Mariah Carey and Kris Jenner shared a chic and smiley farewell after what looked like one seriously fabulous dinner, and yes, they gave the cameras everything.
You're not alone if you're wondering how this iconic duo linked up. While it may seem unexpected, the two powerhouses have built a low-key but solid friendship over the years, bonding over fashion, family, fame, and their shared love for over-the-top fabulousness.

Glam on glam: the looks
In true diva fashion, Mariah Carey showed up in a sparkly mini-dress that shimmered in the Malibu lights. The form-fitting piece featured a belted waist and was topped with a cropped black leather jacket because even the glitter needs an edge.

Her honey-blonde waves were practically bouncing with every step, and she paired the whole thing with a massive cocktail ring that screamed "festive fabulous."
Next to her, Kris Jenner kept it classic and commanding in an all-black tailored suit. The blazer featured dramatic ruffled sleeves for that extra Kris flair, and she accessorized with a dainty diamond necklace, a sleek clutch, and her signature smoky eye.

This isn't the first time Mariah and Kris have crossed fashionable paths. They've been spotted at events together and occasionally show each other love on social media. While they may come from very different corners of pop culture, they have plenty in common.
Both women have built empires: Mariah with her legendary music career (and, let's be real, her full holiday takeover) and Kris as the mastermind behind the Kardashian-Jenner dynasty. They're moms, business moguls, and style icons in their own right. And if there's one thing they both know, it's how to make an entrance and own the room.

So this Nobu moment might not have been just a casual dinner; it could've been a little power play or maybe even the spark of a new collab. A Carey-Jenner Christmas special, anyone?
Malibu nights and million-dollar laughs
As they walked out of Nobu, arm in arm, both women genuinely enjoyed each other's company. There were laughs, hugs, and even a few twirls for the camera. They looked relaxed, happy, and absolutely in their element, which makes sense when you're two of the most glamorous women in the industry who've basically seen it all.
