Mariah Carey continues to excite her fans with her latest string of announcements and projects—and her latest appearance was no different.
The music superstar attended the 2025 BET Awards on Monday night, June 9, absolutely dazzling audiences—both in person and online—as she took the stage in an itty-bitty gold mini dress that perfectly accentuated her curves. The 56-year-old truly appeared to be aging backwards, showing off her ageless looks on the special night out.
For beauty, Carey wore her signature blonde tresses down bone straight. She accessorized her glittering ensemble with several diamond bangles, drop earrings, and gold platform heels, cementing herself as the golden girl (quite literally) of the evening.
On social media, fans reacted to the look in the comments of an Instagram post with nothing but love, showing major adoration for The Emancipation of Mimi artist.
“So good! 😍🔥❤️,” one declared, while another simply called her “Flawless.”
A third dubbed her a “QUEEEEEN🙌,” while another found themselves somewhat lost for words, dropping only one sentiment: “OMG! 🔥”
The iconic songstress was on hand to perform a medley of smash hits, as well as debuting her new track, “Type Dangerous,” which was released last Friday as the first single of her upcoming 16th studio album.
