Alicia Keys tried on several different ensembles as she headed for a lengthy Today Show appearance in Manhattan on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old singer-songwriter, who recently spoke out about the dangers of recreating her monster hit Empire State Of Mind, was featured in several segments of the show as she performed several selections from her recent Christmas album Santa Baby.
She kept the Christmas colors for a relaxed interview with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager later on the show.

Alicia looked stylish in a scarlet jumpsuit that showed off her curvaceous figure.
The long-sleeved outfit included holes for her thumbs and she wore it with the zipper pulled down slightly.
She contrasted her playful outfit with a set of beige suede boots, and she kept her raven braids pulled into a tight bun, which framed her gold dangling earrings.
The outfit was well-chosen to match the similar red color scheme of her album Santa Baby, released in early November.
She wore red leather gloves on the cover, which looked like a red leather outfit with thick suspenders seen in the close-up image.

The singer was more relaxed when she was spotted outside the studio later.
She kept warm with a faux black turtleneck and added some sparkle with a thick gold chain around her throat.
The Falling singer paired her sweater with skintight black jeans, which were tucked into burgundy thigh high boots.
She added a long burgundy coat and layered it with a second, thicker purple puffer jacket on top.
The hitmaker also rocked a chunky pair of black sunglasses as he exited the building.

During her interview, Alicia talked about her Christmas traditions.
She and her husband, hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz, set aside a moment for the whole family – including sons Egypt, 12, and Genesis, seven – to share handmade gifts.
Sharing gifts encouraged their children to put special effort into making something specially suitable for their family members, instead of just participating in mere consumerism.
She also said that Swizz was a “big gift giver,” though she said she would never tell Hoda and Jenna what kind of gifts he gave her in order to keep it a secret between them.
The singer showed off a more charming winter style when she performed in the studio wearing a stunning white double-breasted overcoat, which contrasted with her red jumpsuit that stood out.
