Mariah’s seventh album, Rainbow–my second favourite in her repertoire, after Butterfly, which is commonly hailed as her magnum opus (even Ariana Grande wore a T-shirt of this album’s art work not too long ago)–ushered in a brand new period of favor for the songstress. Embracing a extra R&B-pop sound over her signature energy ballads, she launched into one thing of a vogue evolution. In her 1999 “Heartbreaker” music video, she made waves sporting shredded low-rise denims paired with a spray-painted white tank high. Within the years that ensued, throughout the launch of her albums Glitter and Charmbracelet, Mariah showcased a plethora of denim seems. One standout second was her sporting of a crystal-embellished high formed like a butterfly, paired with cosy denims and strappy sandals, naturally.

Incomes a spot on Time Out’s checklist of all-time worst first pitches (a historic second, nonetheless), Mariah graced the Tokyo Dome in 2011. Whereas her pitching abilities left a lot to be desired, she served up an athletic-adjacent ensemble, together with a cropped pink satin varsity jacket, denim cut-off shorts and a white leather-based pair of heels (oh and outsized shades and ‘sporty’ diamond hoops).
