Dolly Parton once said "it costs a lot of money to look this cheap"
That said, it must cost Mariah Carey a freakin' fortune to look this bad!
She has a new album out this week called E=MC2 , which is predicted to go straight to the top of the billboard charts (I laughed out loud typing that for some reason!) so as a result she is everywhere you turn.
Here she is at a signing, dressed head to toe in Primark!
Bless...
Mariah makes me laugh. It is almost as though she has had a double good taste and style bypass. With Ms Carey it's all about the trailerpark!
Even Paris Match has ended up looking like a catalogue spread...
As for the album title - genius just genius!
Albert Einstein must be turning in his grave...
Queen Marie







Couldn't have been stated in more truer words..

Oh god, last night me and my sister were having this same discussion. She has the Britney disorder of wanting to show stomach, cleavage and boob all at once..and E=MC2 <----a laugh out loud moment

so true, queen marie!
and i think it's unbelievable that this woman has sold more records than elvis – i don't know a single person who owns a mariah carey album. we all fear that her tackiness is contagious. it might spread via acoustics :-))

She has such awful style but I cant help but love her!

awww... I think there's something endearing about Mariah's style shenanigans... unlike beyonce's... those are REALLY annoying.

I've never gotten the appeal of her--does anyone remember Teddy Ruxpin? That's what I see when I look at her face!

your a bitch just because u look like an ugly beaver and what your like 30 writing a bloig about "fashion" you make me laugh out loud she is talented unlike the music you probably listen to which is most likely obscure indie garbage people like yourself are so pathetic all about obscurity and being "individual" but yoyu just end up commodifying yourself like everyone else play the other record i pity you quite frankly.

i was just talking abt mariah to my bf the other day. She's so rich, and her wardrobe is ridiculously huge but her sense of style is so tacky. I wonder where she shops! Lol. I saw her wardrobe on MTV cribs and its AMAZING, but its weird that what she wears out doesn't reflect that.

Yes, I agree QM. All of these look are quite dreadful. I do wonder if there is a 'stylist' lurking behind to blame and perhaps Mariah is as uncomfortable in these as she looks. Nah, scratch that, I'm sure if there was a stylist putting forth these looks they would be ex-communicated from their own community. I guess the best you can hope for is that it makes her happy, as it certainly isn't doing much for the rest of us.

I don't know how mariah carey can compare her album of cheesey love songs to the genius formula of eintstien!
you're right not only is einstein turning in his grave, but hes frothing at the mouth..

You are so right queen Mary, she's awful, looking at her and hearing her sing are certainly my idea of torture.
Posted by: una | Sunday, 20 April 2008 at 00:06
I'm just glad she's wearing clothes.

The album title kindof hints at a drug problem...
Posted by: Lauren | Sunday, 20 April 2008 at 12:24
So true - you can't help but laugh. And did you see the pictures of her and her tiny dog wearing matching shiny ski-suits? Hilarious!

just saw hew new music video.
in my opinion, no woman of her age should still be dressing up in schoolgirl outfits!
i wish she would go back to old, non cheesy mariah!

Albert Einstein would be incredibly miffed, though I think that her rather smarmy choice for an album name is a pea in comparison to his bowling ball: frustration at death for cutting short the completion of his theory regarding the space/time continuum.

the dress in the second photo down exactly like that by australian designers camilla and marc. However when i saw it at fashion week it definitely not meant to be worn so short and so tight! She needs to dress for her age.

here's the thing i love about mariah, mariah is always going to be mariah. a stylist can dress her, but she always goes right back to being mariah. and u know what, i dont mind the way she dresses because she is an amazing singer. and i wish i had her penthouse or at least just the closet. (but i wouldnt dress like her)

Dont't know, what you're talking about?!? Don't you like coloured sausages?
Posted by: Charlotte | Tuesday, 22 April 2008 at 13:29
J'agree BUT, I can't help but think she seems like quite a laugh!

Mariah was born on Long Island. That pretty much says it all. I wish I knew Scotland better so I could point to an equivalent but Long Island isn't really known for being a tasteful place.
She's probably classy by their standards.
(I agree completely, btw.)

E=MC2 actually mean..
Emancipation=Mariah carey times 2
meaning that emancipation her last album has now = to her giving more of her self into this new album.. as she said in her MTV interview..
so get your facts right "QM"
Posted by: annoymous | Thursday, 24 April 2008 at 20:36
I saw her on TV somewhere explaining why she named it that. She said, "It's like the emancipation of mimi, creating me [or something, i forget what the C stood for!] times 2."
E=mc^2.. it's squared, not times two! errggh, she botheres the heck out of me!
Posted by: Kessia | Thursday, 24 April 2008 at 22:24
oh, der, i guess it says above me its emancipation = mariah carey times two.. but still, she should at least know what the original equation is before she copies it..
Posted by: kessia | Thursday, 24 April 2008 at 22:26
Its funny how photo shopped this is, like her retouch er probably gets more money in a sitting then my house is worth
