"The Closets of Mariah Carey, Elton John, Brooke Shields, and Other Celebrities\nThe dressing spaces where Mariah Carey, Elton John, Brooke Shields, and other stars get red carpet\u2013ready are as stylish as the clothes they contain\nMariah Carey's Mario Buatta\u2013designed apartment in Manhattan features a luxurious dressing room that resembles an airy boutique. All of the songstress's outfits are on display and arranged by color and type, while an adjoining shoe room contains hundreds of her signature stilettos. (November 2001)\nThe closet at the Bedford, New York, home of Ralph Lauren is outfitted with mahogany millwork, giving the room the refined air of an English estate. The walls are covered in a dark-green baize and a leather-upholstered bench provides a convenient perch for pulling on one of the many pairs of riding boots that line the shelves. (November 2004)\nAt Woodside, Elton John's palatial English estate in Old Windsor, shelves were built into the attic eaves to showcase the singer's astonishing collection of sunglasses, which he has been amassing since the mid-1970s. (May 2000)\nWhen remodeling his New Jersey home, Yankees star pitcher C. C. Sabathia requested a spacious closet to house his extensive collection of shoes. Architect James Paragano and interior designer Martin P. Mitchell outfitted the room with rows of Macassar-ebony cabinets, along with a dry bar. \"I could live there for weeks,\" says Sabathia of the ultramasculine space. (November 2010)\nHotelier Steve Wynn turned to longtime collaborator and AD100 interior designer Roger Thomas to create the interiors of his Las Vegas villa. The closet's neutral palette was chosen to evoke the desert sand, also serving as a tranquil contrast to the casino mogul's collection of polychromatic ties. (November 2011)\nActress Brooke Shields's closet at her Greenwich Village townhouse was built of rift-sawn white oak by Brooklyn-based design/build firm MADE. The compact space makes use of a rolling shoe rack and library ladder, helping to maximize storage and accessibility. (March 2012)\nWith the walls of his Manhattan townhouse displaying a striking collection of works by Andy Warhol, George Condo, and Damien Hirst, it's no surprise that acclaimed adman Donny Deutsch's closet also resembles a gallery. Architect Frederic Schwartz and AD100 designers Tony Ingrao and Randy Kemper collaborated to create the expansive bright-white space, which Deutsch notes his female friends find enthralling. The custom-made bench is covered in pony hair by Edelman Leather. (October 2011)\nComedian Ellen DeGeneres and actress Portia de Rossi stored their respective sneakers and high heels in the elegant closet of their Beverly Hills home, which was revamped by decorator Melinda Ritz. The shelving was constructed of stained walnut and the vintage sign was found at a flea market. (November 2011)\nScreen legend Elizabeth Taylor's dressing room in her Beverly Hills home expanded over the years to accommodate her legendary clothes and jewels. An embroidered silk covers the walls; the sketches are Irene Sharaff costume designs for the 1968 film Doctor Faustus, and the purple carpet echoes Taylor's famous violet eyes.
