Mariah Carey is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated artists of her generation. Recently, at 54 years old, she made headlines for her bold fashion choice.

At the third annual Recording Academy Honors, Mariah stood out in a figure-hugging cream dress featuring a corset adorned with sheer caramel-colored tulle details.

The silhouette flattered her figure beautifully, and the deep neckline accentuated her shape in a way that some deemed inappropriate for her age.

While many fans praised her outfit—one remarked, “I like it,” and another said it looked “MADE for her”—critics had a different opinion.

Some felt the dress was unsuitable for a 54-year-old, with comments like, “Maybe in the early ’90s Mariah, but that’s not really something you should be wearing at 54.” Others suggested she should “cover it up” or reminded her that she’s “54, not 24.”

Mariah is no stranger to online criticism; she has faced harsh comments in the past, including fat-shaming remarks after posting photos with her then-boyfriend in 2017.

People often have strong opinions about celebrity fashion, but what truly matters is how the individual feels in their attire. Mariah has every right to wear whatever makes her happy, regardless of others’ judgments.
