99 Photos of Mariah to Inspire Your Inner Diva
Photo: Venturelli/WireImage
If you were worried that Mariah Carey might step down from her diva throne any time soon, fear not. The singer turned 46 yesterday and continues to exceed our style expectations, with every pair of opera gloves and every white fur. What better time to look back on her early-aughts body con glory and impressive collection of embellished slings? She probably invented the sweatpants with heels trend, after all.
Always wear glitter, Mariah; don’t ever change. See all the looks in our slideshow below.
