Mariah Carey turns heads in Dior sweater as she gears up to headline Pride event
ensured she was the center of attention wearing a designer sweater as she arrived to headline Brighton Pride in the UK. The singer teamed a $2,000 Dior top with black leggings and chunky boots accessorized with oversized black sunglasses. The star looked in good spirits as she made her way through the crowd outside her swanky London hotel. Mariah is set to headline the Brighton Pride celebrations alongside two time Eurovision winner Loreen, Sugababes, and Sonia. Her touchdown in the UK comes after the star opened up about her turbulent love life in a candid interview - and revealed which ex still makes her blood boil. Mariah admitted first spouse Tommy Mottola still makes her 'angry' as she reflected on their five year marriage in a chat with Harper's Bazaar UK. The couple was married from 1993 until 1998 after he discovered her in the late 1980s when he was then head of Columbia Records. The pair wed when she was just 23-years-old and he was 20 years her senior. Mariah has previously described her marriage to Mottola as a 'private hell' and claimed the music supremo was controlling - allegations Mottola has vehemently denied. She said this week: 'Sometimes I feel angry about that time, but I think I've made peace with it – in any case, I vowed I'd stop talking about it. 'Humor is my release, and people who know me know that. I'll make little jokes about what happened because otherwise I could make every day a sob story. It's a coping mechanism, but it's in my nature to laugh.'
