Mariah Carey put on a show-stopping display as she arrived at the Apple Music 10th anniversary celebration in California on Monday night.
The music legend, 56, ensured all eyes were on her in a high-neck black mesh gown covered from head-to-toe in shimmering sequins.
The semi-sheer number left her fitted bodysuit on full display underneath, which showcased her incredible figure and ample cleavage.
Boosting her height with platform heels, Mariah looked younger than ever, with her radiant and taut appearance.
She beamed as she posed alongside the vice president of Apple Music, Oliver Schusser and music executive Larry Jackson at the glitzy bash.
While the hitmaker then sat down with DJs Ebro Darden and Zane Lowe to chat in front of an audience, where she teased her upcoming sixteenth studio album.
It marks her first LP in eight years and first since partnering with new music company Gamma for her comeback, after leaving label Epic Records, who released her last album Caution in 2018.
Last month, Mariah released the lead single, Type Dangerous, which debuted at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Chatting to Zane and Ebro, she teased: 'What is next? Well it's the album coming out! I don't want tell too much about it because I just don't want to reveal the whole thing.'
However, the All I Want For Christmas star confirmed that the album was finished and would be made up of '11 or 12 songs', before adding: 'We got some Mariah ballads' to cheers from the crowd.
She continued: 'Second single is coming soon, I've very excited about it. It's very summery, I like the beat as well'.
According to Forbes, the songstress, who has 19 number one singles, is aiming to get her 20th chart topper with Type Dangerous.
'She's fighting to stay contemporary,' her longtime producer LA Reid told the publication.
And it appears her name still carries much weight in the music industry, after it was reported that fellow superstar Beyoncé 'bowed down' to Mariah and moved out a £25k-a-night penthouse for her.
The singer, 43, had booked a 12-night stay at the Corinthia while performing at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month.
However, she reportedly moved out when self-confessed diva Mariah touched down in London, to play at Capital's Summertime Ball.
A source told The Sun: 'Superstars as big as Beyoncé and Mariah want to stay in only the best hotels. Beyoncé had been staying in Corinthia's penthouses.
'But when Mariah flew in, Beyoncé packed up so Mariah could take over her suites. It was like Beyoncé was bowing down to another music queen.'
And Mariah continued to live up to her diva name at the Summertime Ball, after her extravagant backstage demands were revealed.
She took to the stage at Wembley Stadium alongside the likes of Rita Ora and Will Smith for what was her first UK show in a whopping six years.
And speaking on the red carpet, Capital Radio's Sian Welby admitted that Mariah was living up to her reputation as she revealed the singer had 'totally changed' her dressing room ahead of her performance.
She told The Sun: 'We will do what we're told. When it comes to Mariah, she is the boss.
'She's changed the whole dressing room to just be called Mimi's World. Doesn't even have Capital branding anymore. It's all her zone'.
While in comparison, co-host Chris Stark added: 'Will Smith by the way is the most chilled, like he's just wandering around. He was in catering, he just went and sat himself down and got himself some food'.
Last year MailOnline revealed how Mariah had been on extra diva form during her Christmas Time tour, according to sources who claimed she was 'being so extra.'
Members of production were been 'asked not to speak or take photos with her' - while the star reportedly decreed that she would not embark on the tour with any 'unattractive dancers.'
'Mariah is just being so extra this year,' an insider told DailyMail.com. 'She is getting paid an insane amount of money. Rehearsals started at the end of September as she wants it to be the grandest tour yet.
'One of her requests was that her main backup dancers are all "hot" men. She did not want any unattractive dancers.'
Elsewhere, the star made it clear that she doesn't care about costs after demanding a full glam squad for early rehearsals.
The insider continued: 'She also requested hair and makeup for the rehearsals. Everyone who is directly involved in the production has been asked not to speak to Mariah or take photos with her.'
Mariah closed the ball, and kicked off her setlist with her 1995 hit Fantasy, before Emotions and Hero.
The diva then serenaded the crowd with Always Be My Baby as well as Type Dangerous, Touch My Body and It's Like That.
The talented singer brought the Summertime Ball to a close with her 2005 single We Belong Together.
Reacting to her live performance, Mariah was showered in praise by fans who claimed it was her 'best vocals in years'.
Taking to social media, one concert-goer said: 'Mariah at the #SummerTimeBall - best live vocals from her in years…and hit after hit after hit. Bring on Brighton Pride.'
A second posted: 'Mariah killed it at the #Summertimeball looking and sounding incredible.'
