Mariah's Fashion Statement
For the MusiCares Person of the Year gala, Mariah Carey made a striking fashion statement. She chose a Prada gown with a lingerie-inspired design, showcasing a daring yet elegant look. The dress's corset bodice featured a sweetheart bra beneath a sheer floral overlay. The sheer floral lace extended, revealing her long legs, and a floor-length train added to the dress's drama. Styled by Wilfredo Rosado, the ensemble was a clear reference to the grunge fashion trends of the 1990s, offering a modern twist on the classic style. Carey's choice emphasized both her confidence and enduring influence on fashion trends.
