The “Songbird Supreme” celebrated her lasting legacy on February 1, 2024, at the Recording Academy Honors. Mariah Carey was a bronze dream as she posed for photos before the ceremony.

During the Thursday night event, both Carey and Lenny Kravitz received Global Impact Awards from the Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective.

The 54-year-old stepped out for the evening in a couture Schiaparelli gown draped in sheer tulle layers. A nude satin corset hugged the “Fantasy” singer’s curves, and a voluminous bow adorned her left side.

Carey’s locks were reminiscent of Old Hollywood, with cascading blonde waves. The five-time Grammy Award winner‘s rose lip, pink cheeks, and smokey brown eyes accented her bronzed ensemble.

Mariah Carey always makes a statement, and this includes her jewelry. The mother of two donned diamond drop earrings, a diamond choker necklace, and matching bracelets.

Carey received the honor because her “dedication to the art form has greatly influenced the industry and whose legacy of service inspires countless individuals worldwide,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The “We Belong Together” singer stated, “I accept this award on behalf of every person who has ever felt silenced or marginalized, who has ever been told their voice doesn’t matter. Your truth matters.”
