If you missed it, music icon Mariah Carey celebrated her 55th year on March 27th. Notably, Mariah continues her tradition of marking anniversaries rather than birthdays.
Ring in the celebrations, Mariah posted a photo on Instagram, adorned in a studded black mini dress with a daring neckline. Her smokey eye makeup and glossy pink lips added an aura of elegance to her style. Not surprisingly, followers showered praises on her beauty and style.
Before this fashionable capture, the singer initiated the celebrations with an Instagram photo snapped from a boat. She was seen stunning in a blue sequined gown, setting the pace for the forthcoming festivities.
Among the multitude of well-wishers, there were several celebrities. Jennifer Hudson, Heidi Klum, Jonathan Van Ness, Patti LaBelle, and Busta Rhymes were among the many who sent celebratory messages.
Mariah's tradition of celebrating anniversaries over birthdays isn't a surprise to her fans. Last year, during her 54th anniversary, she took fans down memory lane by sharing an old interview. In the interview, she openly discussed her preference for marking anniversaries instead of birthdays.
Soon after the conclusion of the festivities, she will be heading to Las Vegas to start her residency. The series of concerts named The Celebration of Mimi will be held at the famed Park MGM hotel, from April 12 to 27.
Worth mentioning, the performance is in honor of the 19th year of her album, The Emancipation of Mimi. The album still resonates with many, demonstrating the timeless appeal of Mariah's music.
