April 2024 ยท 3 minute read

Mariah Carey makes no apologies for her divadom. In fact, the singer celebrates her opulent fabulousness. And why shouldn't she? She has a room-filling, soars-to-new-heights voice, and she is stunning from top to toe. In honor of her always on-point style, we're looking back at some of the singer's most memorable gowns as of late.

The voluptuous singer knows how to fill out a dress! She has poured her curvy frame into many skintight, couture frocks. She tends to prefer strapless silhouettes and showing off her twins -- no, not Dem Babies, but the "other" twins." It's as though her mantra when dressing is "If you've got it, flaunt it!"

You may find yourself being "wowed" by Mimi's array of frocks.

The singer wore royal blue Valentino Couture to the 2010 Oscars. It was deceptive in its simplicity. The rouching, the applique and the slit all came together as beautiful accents on this dress.
