Mariah Carey Wows in Four Sparkly Curve-Hugging Costumes at ESSENCE Fest, Because of Course

When Mariah Carey hits the stage you know you’re in for a night of mind-blowing vocals and showstopping sytle. Well, she did just that Saturday night down at ESSENCE Festival in New Orleans. While performing a list of her chart-topping hits, Mimi lit up the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in four rhinestone encrusted costumes that were as dazzling as her voice.
Mimi has never been shy about flaunting her fabulous figure and we never tire of seeing her do it. While we’ve seen a few of these head-turning looks, Mariah added two new getups to her rotation: a hip-baring slit gown and a pink cutout leotard complete with a floor-sweeping tulle bustle. This lady knows how to slay! Take a look for yourself…
