Mariah Carey, 54, Praised for Looking ‘Skinny’ as She Flashes Midsection in Chic Black Dress

• Iconic songstress Mariah Carey was recently praised for looking fabulous in a black dress.
• The chic dress showed a glimpse of her midsection, and fans marveled at how "skinny" she looked.
• The doting mom of two previously shared words about her diet and her perspective on aging.

Legendary musician Mariah Carey, 54, is known for being a remarkably talented singer who dazzles her fans with her smooth and whistle-tone vocal abilities. Apart from her illustrious career as a musician, the famous Christmas caroler is a doting mom to twins Moroccan and Monroe Cannon.

She shares her kids with her ex-husband, Nick Cannon, whom she divorced before finding love again with backup dancer Bryan Tanaka, 40. Despite their age gap, the couple is still going strong, and according to a source, Carey is extremely happy with him.

The same source also spoke about how Tanaka operates as a partner to the musical diva. Regarding his personality and their relationship, the source stated:

"He's always doting on her and they have a great time together. He's also great with her kids."

Besides her flourishing family and love life, the "We Belong Together" artist's physical form has been a prominent topic of discussion among the wider public. In fact, during the times when her weight would fluctuate, tabloids would then create whole narratives centering around this alone for years.

As a result of a comment her friend made in the past about her weight, Carey decided to change her lifestyle and get into better shape. She hired a fitness and nutrition coach named Patricia, who kicked the star's health journey off with a workout regimen.

Carey previously told a media outlet that her workouts would last 60-90 minutes and combined resistance training with cardio. Apart from the regimen she had to follow, Carey would also enjoy swimming a few laps in her pool:

"What's great about working out in the pool is the water acts as resistance. You're actually exercising twice as hard without feeling it."

Sticking to a strict diet also proved to be beneficial for the musical icon. After cutting out food such as mac 'n' cheese and snack foods, Patricia put Carey on a diet of veggies, artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, steamed zucchini, and lemon and soy sauce marinated chicken.

In 2016, Carey sat down for another interview in which her diet was brought up again. This time, the "Obsessed" singer revealed that all she ate was:

"...Norwegian salmon and capers every day. That's it."

All the diet and workout regimens Carey followed went far beyond reasons to do with weight loss specifically. During a past interview, she explained that her health and fitness journey is all about feeling her best and being comfortable in her own skin.

Similarly, when it comes to aging, the star who deemed herself forever 12, has no issues with the concept or the process. Of getting older, Carey asserted:

"I think I have to remain eternally oblivious to age. Honestly, when you put a number on it yourself, it's just like, 'Why? Why do that?' "

This past Friday, the songstress, who has no issue with aging, stepped out in style. Carey dazzled in a chic black dress that showed off her cleavage and had sparkly mesh detailing on one side, exposing a glimpse of her midsection.

Her signature blonde hair was left straightened and loose, and she accessorized her glitzy look with diamonds and black peep-toe heels. When fans saw their beloved music queen, many could not stop swooning over her physique and how svelte her body looked:

"Skinny legend."

As more continued to comment on how great Carey's body looked, with someone even mentioning that it looked like she had lost weight, others praised her overall beauty. A fan marveled at the fact that Carey looked like she did back in 1995. One fan expressed:

"She looks phenomenal 🔥😍"

The images of Carey serving looks, the outpouring of love and praise from her fans, coupled with the fact that she is aging gracefully, stand as testaments to the fact that age really is just a number.
