Hello boys! Mariah Carey shows off her eye-popping curves in a skintight leather mini-dress for dinner date at Mr. Chow

She’s preparing to walk down the aisle for the third time following a whirlwind romance and subsequent engagement to Australian billionaire James Packer.

But wedding plans were put on hold as Mariah Carey enjoyed a night without her new fiancé at upmarket Beverly Hills restaurant Mr. Chow on Tuesday evening.

Following her late night antics with James in a Capri nightclub just two weeks ago it was a comparatively subdued night for the songstress, but she ensured she was centre of attention by sporting an edgy leather dress.

The snug fitting outfit served to accentuate her voluptuous figure as she made her way inside, pausing only to sign autographs for lingering fans. 

An off-the-shoulder detail gave Mariah the opportunity to bare some skin, while fishnet tights and distinctive studded heels gave the overall ensemble a raunchy flourish.

The 46-year old kept her eyes shielded behind a pair of heavily tinted sunglasses on the night, and the broad smile she offered onlookers as she made her way inside the popular eatery suggested spirits were high.
