Mariah Carey had fans on her side as she dazzled in a silver glitter minidress back in 2016. The chart-topping singer, aged 45 at the time, put on a big smile as she showed off her curves and her engagement ring at 1 OAK nightclub, with the images also coming as she made headlines for wrapping up her Las Vegas Residency. Flashing her massive diamond ring as she eyed up marrying billionaire James Packer, Mariah made sure to flaunt her 35-carat ring, one she later made headlines for selling as the relationship fell apart. When users on The Daily Mailsaw the photos, they showered Mariah with praise. In fact, the leading comment told her she can "wear whatever the hell she wants."

Going sleeveless and with a slight halter neckline accentuating her chest, Mariah held up her ring for the cameras, although with plenty more diamonds, the $10 million ring was nearly lost in all of the bling. Keeping glam with her blonde tresses worn down and straight, Mariah Carey flashed her pearly whites while rocking a full face of makeup, making sure to showcase her high cheekbones with a layer of glowing highlight that contrasted her rosy lip.
Smelling trouble, but calming everyone down before any trolling began, one user replied: "Before the comments start. Successful, wealthy and happy woman wears whatever the hell she wants." Over 1,200 fans agreed.

Also sending Mariah Carey love was a user writing: "Don't like the tights but she looks so happy, and seems to have lost a bit of weight. New guy must be making her feel good!" Unfortunately, the relationship didn't last. Carey and Packer got engaged in January 2016, then ending their romance altogether in September of that year.
"Mariah has been very vocal recently about her choice to move forward in her life surrounded by positivity. That requires leaving emotional and material baggage behind, including an old engagement ring from an ex-boyfriend," Page Six reported in 2018.

By 2019, Mariah was back in the news for this gorgeous Instagram photo, one taken during her Caribbean travels. Confidently strutting across a terrace while stripped to a tight black bikini and billowing open kaftan, the songstress showed off her sensational figure, even adding height to her pint-sized frame with a pair of platform heels. "From the summer to the fall, we migrate," she wrote.
