Mariah Carey showed up at the 2025 BET Awards last night and did what she’s done for three decades: reminded the world she’s still in control. At 56, the chart-topping icon walked onto the stage in a gold mini dress that left no room for debate—Carey’s not slowing down, and she sure as hell isn’t aging.
The dress was short, tight, and shimmering, cut to highlight exactly what she wanted it to. Straight blonde hair, diamond bangles, drop earrings, gold platform heels—the look was precise and calculated, classic Carey. Online, the reaction was instant and overwhelming. Social media lit up with praise. Words like “flawless” and “queen” got thrown around like confetti. Her fans, loyal as ever, didn’t hold back.
But Carey wasn’t just there to pose. She hit the stage with a medley of her biggest hits and capped it off with the live debut of “Type Dangerous,” the lead single from her upcoming 16th studio album. The track dropped Friday, and if last night’s performance is any indicator, she’s entering this next chapter with something to prove—and the tools to do it.
Carey might be a legacy act on paper, but in person, she’s still pushing forward. And on a night built to honor Black excellence in music, she proved she’s still very much part of the conversation.
