Mariah's Make Over
She started out as a chart-topping girl next door, but after Mariah Carey split from husband and record boss Tommy Mattola in 1998, she became one of the pop world's most daring pin-ups.
The past few years have seen curvaceous Mariah embrace her sexier side with some jaw-dropping ensembles. But now, with her new album, The Emancipation Of Mimi, topping the US charts, it looks like the R&B bombshell is going from vamp to re-vamped with a style overhaul.
Mariah has joined forces with Vogue editor-at-large Leon Talley to help polish those brash and sassy edges. But Leon says the makeover project is really in Mariah's hands: "I take no credit in having anything to do with Mariah's next role as a fashion diva."

Mariah was an innocent girl next door when, guided by her then husband, record boss Tommy Mattola, she climbed to the top of the charts in the early Nineties
This black minidress, worn to the Grammys in 1991, was likely one of the most risqué outfits in the singer's wardrobe at the time
After splitting from Tommy in 1997, however, Mariah emerged with a new album - Butterfly - and a transformed diva image
Spreading her fashion wings, she began to try out new and daring looks, making even a top and jeans combination seem daring
Many style watchers thought talented Mariah was going too far with her astonishingly revealing outfits
But when the occasion called for it, the star showed she could swap sassy for classy
In 2002, Mariah went country casual for an appearance in Japan as she promoted her album Charmbracelet
She managed to outglam Donatella and Beyonce when she poured herself into a Versace creation - but it wasn't exactly the sparkling gown that had jaws dropping
With a sleek hairdo and slinky satin dress, Mariah set free her inner glamour goddess
With this deep blue sheath the international superstar veered away from her usual palette of black, white and chocolate tones
In a fur stole and diamante-detailed gown, Mariah tries out the popular Old Hollywood look
"She has an incredible sense of style," says her representative. In this 2005 choice the singer proves the point in a glamorous black gown

On set for a video from her latest album, Mariah wears a little black dress with an eye-catching diamond brooch at the thigh
Guided by Vogue editor-at-large Leon Talley, the star donned this elegant Alexander McQueen gown - similar to one Melania Trump recently wore on the cover of the fashion magazine - for Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball in May 2005
