Only a couple of truly glitzy gowns could upstage someone as famous as Santa Claus, but last night, during NBC’s Rockefeller Centre’s lighting of the Christmas tree, that’s precisely what happened. Mariah Carey quite literally sparkled quite in two different bedazzled Pavoni gowns, shining more light on the Canadian brand’s ever-growing popularity with celebrities.

Since its inception, Pavoni has slowly worked its way up the celebrity ranks. And what started as just dressing Canadian stars turned into dressing household names like Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood , Kylie Minogue and even Shakira.

Childhood friends from Montreal, Gianni Falcone and Mike Derderian, dressed Mariah Carey in a short red tulle dress that had a plunging (and we mean plunging) neckline with over-the-top embellishments and followed up that look up with a custom floor-length silver gown, which had sparkly crystals hand sewn on with sheer detailing. The two gowns had over-the-top glitter and glamour.

Now that Mariah Carey has been added to the list of celebrities that Pavoni has worked with, we’re curious to see if we’ll be watching some embellished Canadian-designed gowns walking down the red carpets of the Golden Globes, Academy Awards or even the Grammys. And due to Pavoni’s recent popularity with celebrities, we’re thinking all signs point to yes.
