Mariah Carey dazzles in a skimpy silver bra while Madonna poses with the QUEEN in the best celebrity Christmas snaps
WHILE most of us were pulling on our festive jumpers and cracking out the bubbles at breakfast this Christmas the great and good of the celebrity world were doing exactly the same - with a few exceptions.
Dazzling Mariah Carey looked like she'd just fallen from the top of her super-sparkly tree as she celebrated in a sexy diamante bikini with sequin-studded UGG Boots.
She clutched a cocktail in one hand and raised a toast to the festive season in a moment that was captured on camera and posted to her Instagram page.
The pop diva later proved just how huge her tree was as she stood alongside it for another picture.
Meanwhile fellow singer Madonna was more interested in a brush with royalty than a roast dinner.
As Queen Elizabeth made her annual speech, the Like A Virgin singer gave her best sassy pose as she sat by her TV to get them both in shot.
She cheekily captioned the shot: "We both wish all of our loved ones a very Merry X-Mas!!"
Actress Eva Longaria plumped for a lavish Christmas on a beach - yet damaged to pack a huge tree in the process.
The Desperate Housewives star sizzles in a sexy kaftan which flashed her cleavage as she stood alongside the tinsel-filled fir.
A very racy Jodie Marsh turned things up a whole other level in her see-through lingerie.
The ex glamour model seemingly couldn’t waste any time to change as she eagerly headed downstairs to see what gifts Santa had delivered.
Instead, she stayed dressed in her flesh-flashing nightie which showed off her super-toned body through the mesh panels.
A red floral design covering her chest and tummy added a festive edge, and the award-winning bodybuilder took care to chose a headband with matching roses as well as a lipstick in the same shade for her December 25 outfit.
Yet for the rest, festive-themed attire ruled.
