Mariah Carey Shines at the AMA 50th Anniversary Special
Mariah Carey knows how to command a stage, and she did just that at the 50th Anniversary Special of the American Music Awards on Sunday. The legendary diva performed a medley from her 10th studio album, The Emancipation of Mimi, in true Mariah style—complete with an eye-catching gown and flawless vocals.
A Gown Fit for a Queen
Taking to the stage in a stunning strapless black and white Schiaparelli gown, Carey embraced a look that nodded to old Hollywood glamour. Her floor-length gown, made from ecru satin and black velvet, featured a striking half-moon neckline that framed her diamond-encrusted jewelry.
The statement necklace, earrings, and bracelets added just the right amount of sparkle. Of course, Mariah’s signature honey-blonde waves and perfectly applied makeup—bronze eyeshadow, coral blush, and a glossy nude lip—were on point as usual.
Her performance was part of the AMA’s special 50th anniversary event, which aired on CBS and Paramount+. The night featured performances from Stray Kids, Raye, and Gladys Knight. Stars like Kate Hudson, Carrie Underwood, and Jennifer Lopez also made special appearances.
Carey’s current Las Vegas residency pays tribute to The Emancipation of Mimi. She wears stunning custom outfits by designers like Robert Wun, Sophie Couture, and Valdrin Sahiti. Her wardrobe is just as headline-worthy, featuring a Swarovski-embellished gown and a glamorous gold frock with a thigh-high slit.
With her timeless vocals and fashion-forward looks, Mariah Carey continues to prove why she’s a music industry icon.
