Mariah Carey displays her curves
A confident display: Mariah Carey put
on a bravura display after confidently squeezing her voluptuous curves
into a plunging bodysuit that left very little to the imagination
Mariah Carey’s grandiose Las Vegas residency got off to an auspicious start on Wednesday evening in front of a full house at the 4,100 capacity Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
The 45-year-old singer put on a bravura display after confidently squeezing her voluptuous curves into a plunging bodysuit that left very little to the imagination, reports dailymai.
Teaming the sequin embellished leotard with fishnet tights and strappy gold heels, Mariah belted out the hits while showing off her cleavage.
You can always rely on Mariah Carey to bring the diva whenever she performs.
And for the first night of her residency in Las Vegas she took it to the max in plunging gowns, designer labels, flesh baring looks and of course some killer heels. We've always been fans of the Saint Laurent 'Tribute' and they've been spotted on everyone from Kylie Minogue to Beyonce and Sofia Vergara to Vanessa Hudgens.
But we've never fallen quite so hard for them until we saw this super spangly gold version on Mariah's fashionable feet. Metallics are a great way to add a touch of glamour to any look and whether you're rocking a tiny bodysuit as you roll onto stage on a jet-ski or whether you're wearing them with skinny jeans and a tee, they're a must have for shoe fanatics everywhere.
So treat yourself and click to buy a pair at Farfetch (right). If the price is just a bit to diva-ish for your liking then never fear. You can get the look for much less with our edit below.
Topshop, Miss KG and River Island have all gone glitzy with gold this season.

On January 15, Mariah announced her Vegas residency on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
'I
have to hope that the fans will enjoy this cause I'm gonna be
performing, which was kind of inspired by my album #1's, and this is now
the updated version with 18 of them,' she said during the appearance.
Following
in the footsteps of Britney Spears, Shania Twain and Reba McEntire, the
hitmaker very temporarily filled in for famed Caesars headliner Celine
Dion, who later announced she is reprising her residency show after
taking care of her ailing husband.

ticket sales have left several of her upcoming concerts with empty
seats and Mariah's shows are falling behind early sales projections.
