Mariah Carey Dazzles in London After Brighton Pride Triumph

Mariah Carey looked incredible as she headed out in London on Tuesday after headlining Brighton Pride

Divas Don't Do Casual: Mariah Carey Steals the Show at Brighton Pride with Four Jaw-Dropping Outfits and a Performance that Left Fans Gushing

The one and only Mariah Carey descended upon London on Tuesday, leaving a trail of glamour and excitement in her wake. The 56-year-old songstress, who recently headlined Brighton Pride, looked absolutely stunning as she stepped out for a photo op outside Global radio offices.

Clad in a chic black dress with mesh panels that seemed to shimmer and shine under the bright lights, Mariah exuded confidence and poise. But it was her eclectic style sense that really stole the show - she paired the fitted number with opaque tights and topped it off with a cropped leather jacket. And let's not forget those oversized sunglasses and towering platform heels - the perfect finishing touches to an already impeccable outfit.

But Mariah wasn't just content with looking good; she also brought her A-game to Brighton Pride on Saturday, where she took to the stage for a highly-anticipated performance that was two years in the making. The Covid pandemic may have delayed her debut at the event, but it was worth the wait - after all, who else can rock four figure-hugging outfits in one night and still manage to slay?

Her packed setlist included hits like "Vision of Love" and "Heroes," which got the crowd singing along and dancing in the aisles. And with her signature whistle register soaring through the night air, it's no wonder that Mariah wowed fans with a performance that was equal parts nostalgic and fresh.

But what really caught our attention was Mariah's commitment to self-care - yes, you read that right! During her performance, she stopped mid-song to have her makeup touched up by her trusty team. Because when you're one of the biggest stars on the planet, why settle for anything less than perfection? As a fan told The Scholarly Note: "What Mariah wants, Mariah must get. She called her makeup and hair team to the stage to touch up her hair and makeup. As she should, the queen that she is."

And speaking of queens, Mariah also showed her support for the trans community by embellishing her pink jacket with the phrase "Protect the dolls" - a bold statement that left fans cheering and chanting along.

Throughout her performance, Mariah stunned in four different outfits, each one more breathtaking than the last. She glittered in a silver gradient dress paired with diamanté pink jacket and silver boots before switching into a blue and turquoise number that seemed to shimmer under the lights. And just when we thought she was done, out came a stunning gold dress with thigh-high boots - talk about diva-worthy.

The concert was a special event for fans, marking Mariah's first performance in the UK since 2019. And let's just say it was worth the wait - after all, who else can bring their A-game at 56 and still slay like no one's business?

In her post-performance Instagram, Mariah wrote: "Thank you so much Brighton Pride for having me tonight! A special heartfelt thank you to the LGBTQ+ community for your ongoing support. I will always be there for you. Love, MC." And judging by the crowd's reaction, we're pretty sure they'll have her back in no time.

So here's to Mariah Carey - a true diva who never settles for anything less than perfection and always brings the heat wherever she goes. Long live the queen!
