She recently revealed she had lost a whopping 30lbs in just three months after embarking on a strict diet and fitness plan.

And Mariah Carey was showing off the results today in style, sporting a very clinging gold dress for a new photoshoot.

The 42-year-old singer showed off her voluptuous figure in the gown while posing for snaps on board a boat moored near the Italian isle of Capri.

All that glitters: Mariah Carey showed off her curvy figure in a clinging floor length gold dress complete with cut out side panels on a boat moored near the Italian isle of Capri earlier today

The clinging one shouldered gown featured cut out panels at the sides and a daring thigh high split, which showed off Mariah's newly toned figure.

She wore her hair in a high ponytail and at one point sported oversized sunglasses to shield her eyes from the bright sunshine.

Strappy high heeled sandals and oversized gold hoop earrings completed the look.


Ahoy there! Mariah soaked up the sun as they posed in the striking gown on the boat , with the glittering ocean in the background

Perfect pins: The singer's revealing gown showed off her toned legs and slimline figure, with black and gold high heeled shoes

The star seemed to enjoy posing for the snaps, but ensured she checked the results on the photographer's camera.

She was also spotted getting a make-up touch up on one of the boat's cabins before changing into a more simple black dress for some shots with her children.

Taking her high heeled shoes off, posed at the back of the ship with baby Moroccan, who sat happily in her arms while more photographs were taken.

Results check: Mariah ensured she approved of the results of her photoshoot by checking the photographer's camera images

The star has been busy relaxing with the cute 13-month-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, fathered by husband Nick Cannon, who is currently in the U.S. where he is hosting America's Got Talent.

Mariah recently discussed her weight loss, which came a year after gaining 70lbs whilst pregnant with the twins.

'Everyone said I was fat, so I did something about it,' she recently told Shape magazine.


New methods: Mariah recently told a magazine that she believed '90 per cent of my weight is my diet'


Touch up: Mariah's make-up was freshened up in between shots in the ship's cabin

Taking a break: Mariah made her way inside the boat to check on her babies Moroccan and Monroe

“Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I’ll ever go through. I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy. But for me, it was like "Okay, honey, do you have to do everything the hard way?"'

The star lost 40lbs of water weight when she gave birth to the fraternal twins on April 30 last year and shed the rest with a Jenny Craig diet of around 1500 calories a day.

'I used to be able to slim down just by exercising more, but that’s changed,' she told the magazine. 'Since having the babies, I realise that 90 percent of losing weight is my diet.'

Say cheese: Mariah urges little 13-month-old Moroccan to look at the camera but he seems a bit reluctant

Setting sail: The singer was in good spirits and seemed happy and relaxed as she took her boat ride

She also last year told talk show host Rosie O'Donnell: 'I'm proud of how hard I worked to get my body back, adding: 'I had to do this for me.'

And instead of weighing herself, the singer said she measured the weight loss by how things felt.

'"Does this dress fit better than it did three years ago?" she told Rosie. 'Then I'd be like, "Ok, I'm good!"' she said.

TV presenter Nick Cannon has been rushed to hospital after suffering from kidney failure.

And despite wife Mariah Carey urging their fans to 'pray for Nick', the singer doesn't look too fearful about his health given her Twitter activity.

The mother-of-two, 41, bizarrely posted a photo of herself posing beside an ailing Nick, 31, in his hospital bed in Aspen, Colorado.

'My brave man': Mariah Carey feeds her husband Nick Cannon a drink after he is hospitalised with mild kidney failure


But the couple are clearly optimistic he will recover, with Mariah describing his kidney failure as 'mild'.

The Fantasy singer posted news of Nick's illness in the early hours of this morning.

She wrote: 'Please pray for Nick as he's fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure. #mybraveman.'

She then wrote a more detailed description of his medical drama on her official website.

'I'm not trying to make light of the situation': Mariah posted a statement on her official website about Nick's health


She wrote: 'This is us in the hospital - role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are.

'We're trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.

'We're doing OK but we're "straaaaaanded in Aspen". #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we're together, we're OK.

All white on the night: The couple, who have been married for three and a half years, in Aspen on New Year's Eve


'I'm not trying to make light out of the situation because it's a serious moment that's very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM.'

The couple have been spending the Christmas and New Year period in Aspen with their twins Moroccan and Monroe.

Nick's hospitalisation perhaps explains why the couple haven't been photographed out and about in Aspen since New Year's Eve.

Going back to her roots- and lifting them up: Mariah Carey brings back her tight curl perm 18 years after she first sported


As a fresh-faced 24-year-old she topped the charts around the world with her anthemic song Hero sporting a tight curl perm.

Now, 18 years on, Mariah Carey has decided to turn back the clock and revisit her youth with a head full of ringlets, just like the do she sported all those years ago.

The singer released the video to her Christmas song this week and in it, she is seen decorating a Christmas tree and writhing round on a sofa with husband Nick Cannon while her tight curls flick all over the place.


The song, called When Christmas Comes, a duet with soul singer John Legend, premiered in the US last week and is what Mariah describes as a 'house party'.

Wearing a short tight red dress, Mariah joins Legend at his piano, before writhing around on that sofa again, flashing her impressive cleavage to the cameras.

Careful! Mariah's ample cleavage is on display as she rolls around in her short tight red dress


The video is a family affair with Nick, 31, by her side and even her twins Morocco and Monroe get in on the action as they join their parents by the tree and in the kitchen.

The song was originally recorded for her 13th studio album Merry Christmas II You last year but was re-recorded as a duet with Legend for the Christmas charts this year.

Also in the video, Mariah is surrounded by friends and family as she and Legend sing away.

At one point, she ventures outside her home into the snow with some children and is joined by Snoopy, as clips from the cartoon series play.

Of course, Mariah's most famous Christmas song is her song All I Want For Christmas, which went to number one around the world in 1994.

It is still a huge hit 17 years on and is played everywhere during the Christmas holidays, which Mariah said 'amazed and humbled her.'

Talking to the Sun, Mariah, who has e-released the track in a collaboration with Justin Bieber, said: 'Who’d have thought, all those years ago when I wrote it, that it would still be having an impact today?'

Glowing: Mariah Carey looked lovely as she stepped out today in Aspen, Colorado, with rosy red cheeks


Mariah Carey had quite the rosy glow about her today as she ventured out into the crisp air of Aspen.

But on closer inspection, it appeared the singer's winter chic was all thanks to some clever make-up application, rather than feeling the chill.

The 41-year-old mother-of-two had apparently dabbed on the blusher to complement her seasonal style as she stepped out trussed up in a stylish cape teamed with black leggings and her suede brown boots.


Mariah was spotted paying a visit to her mother's jewellery store - and despite it being dark the diva still found the need for shades.

The singer and husband Nick Cannon usually go to Aspen for Christmas but didn't last year due to fears the high altitude may interfere with her pregnancy.

She still went away because she has to be somewhere with snow at Christmas.


I am ready for my close up: The singer looked stylish in a caped jacket, black leggings and winter suede boots

Out of the shade: Mariah removed her sunglasses as she posed for the photographers


'It's got to be snowy,' she said at the time.

'I was considering staying in LA because we love it, but it's not the most seasonal of places. I need snow.'

Earlier in the week Mariah ventured out in peep-toe heels - but quickly changed into something warmer midway through a shopping trip at Prada ahead of her first Christmas with eight-month-old twins Monroe and Moroccan.

She had started the spree with a black winter jacket that flapped open to reveal a bare chest.

Mariah teamed this with black and red heels and oversize sunglasses.

Feeling the chill: On Sunday Mariah ventured out with bare legs and peep-toe heels, before making a quick change into some warmer boots


But later the starlet changed into more seasonable winter boots and a floppy hat.

Mariah is in great shape after shedding more than 70lbs since the birth of her children.

Meanwhile, the star's latest music video has just been released.

When Christmas Comes, featuring John Legend, sees the pair singing at a grand piano, playing in the snow with Snoopy and spending time with her twins and husband Nick.


Ladies of leisure: Nicky Hilton and mother Kathy were spotted out and about in Aspen today too and are spending the festive season there

Suited and booted: Antonio Banderas was all decked out in his snow gear as he got set to take to the slopes


She recently told The Sun how she is 'amazed and humbled' that her 1991 smash hit song All I Want for Christmas is still a holiday classic.

Mariah recently re-released the track in a collaboration with Justin Bieber.

She told the newspaper: 'Who’d have thought, all those years ago when I wrote it, that it would still be having an impact today?'

What a family: One of the pictures shared showed Mariah and Nick dressed up as The Incredibles, with the twins in matching outfits


She waited a long time to be a mother, and it seems that Mariah is relishing her new role.

Clearly getting into the Halloween spirit early, the singer posted a picture of her young family along with husband Nick dressed as cartoon characters The Incredibles.

The singer created a website called Dembabies.com which finally gave fans a glimpse into the never-before-seen family album of her adorable children.

It's Dembabies! Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon created a website to share pictures of their six-month-old twins Moroccan and Monroe

From pictures of the twins in little duck outfits, to a shot of Mariah and Nick Cannon dressed up as The Incredibles, with Moroccan and Monroe clad in matching outfits, the six-month-old babies couldn't look cuter in the intimate shots.

Mariah and Nick wrote on the website: 'We deliberated for so long about how to reveal the first pictures of our babies to the world.

'We just didn't want to do the typical thing and display them in a tabloid (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Radiant: Mariah looked overcome with joy in this shot taken just hours after she gave birth to the twins

'We decided to share this beautiful experience with you in a special intimate portrait of our family.'

They added: 'Parenthood is absolutely the most life changing experience we could ever have imagined. The love we feel for these babies is above and beyond anything we'd ever dreamed of.'

Mariah and Nick shared the website after the twins made their TV debut with Barbara Walters on TV show 20/20 last night.

'Beyond anything we'd ever dreamed of': In a message posted on the site, Mariah and Nick talk of their love for their six-month-old twins

Meet the babies: Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon introduce little Moroccan and Monroe to the cameras for the first time on tonight's TV show 20/20 with Barbara Walters

The pair opened up their New York home to the View star, also giving an interview about their relationship and attitude towards parenthood.

Little Moroccan and Monroe, who the couple have nicknamed 'Roc and Roe' were dressed in smart clothes for their first television appearance.

Moroccan wore a smart beige suit, while Monroe, named after Marilyn, looked pretty in white dress and a matching bow in her hair.


Adorable: Little Moroccan and Monroe looked remarkably unfazed by the attentions of the cameras

Meet my man: Little Moroccan is smartly dressed in a camel jacket as he meets chat show host Barbara Walters in tonight's show

Proud parents: Mariah admitted that she tried fertility treatments after suffering a miscarriage before giving birth to the twins

The babies perhaps took after their famous parents, not looking at all upset at the cameras, and Moroccan clearly enjoying when his mother sang a a few lines of a song to him.

'They really respond to music,' said Mariah, while Nick said he wanted his children to have important careers, rather than work in entertainment.

“I want to make sure we get education first,” he said. 'Society puts too much on entertainment and entertainers.

Tough road to motherhood: Mariah revealed she underwent fertility treatment before becoming pregnant with her twins

'They praise them like they’re royalty, especially in America, where it should really be about the teachers or, you know, the doctors. I want them to be able to sing as beautifully as their mother. I want them to be able to play instruments and everything. But I want them like Go get a Ph.D.'

'You can help them with their homework because I know I’m not going to know anything about it,' joked Mariah.

However, it has not been all plain sailing for the singer, who revealed details of a difficult pregnancy and admitted she underwent fertility treatment after suffering a devastating and 'really tough' miscarriage.

Singalong: Mariah tells Barbara how her twins respond to music and treats them to a song


Bundle of love: The singer beams with happiness as she gives little Monroe a cuddle

'The main thing I did that was tough, was to go on progesterone like every month… and then when I was pregnant, I had to stay with the progesterone for 10 weeks,' she told Walters.

'It minimises the chance of miscarriage by 50 percent.'

Nick, 31, admitted during the interview that he had concerns about his wife, whom he married in April 2008.

Adorable: Monroe and Moroccan look ultra cute in their outfits

Proud father: Nick plays with his baby son at one point on the video

'It was good news but it was scary news at the same time,' he admitted.

Mariah added: 'I don't think I understood the enormity and the magnitude of what it really does to your body. Like it's not just, "Oh, you don't look pretty and you have a bump."

'Unless somebody's been through it, it's difficult to understand what I went through because my pregnancy was very unique in terms of what happened to me.'

Recollections: Mariah and Nick admit they were excited but worried when Mariah became pregnant

Candid: The couple discussed their relationship and their hopes and dreams for their children

The couple also discussed their own relationship and Mariah's attitude to marrying for the second time after her first marriage to record executive Tommy Mottola ended.

She said that experience made her 'afraid of the concept of marriage.'

'But this is a different situation and I’m a different person,' she added. 'It’s a different time in my life. And nobody will ever be able to steal my spirit again. So I’m just happy to be in love and to be here.'

Proposal: Nick showed Barbara Walters where he proposed to his wife

Nick also showed Walters where he proposed to the singer with a sparkling diamond ring, before Walters quizzed Mariah on whether she trusted her husband.

'Sometimes. Can I trust you - you tell me?' Mariah teased. 'When he’s nice, he’s the best guy in the world.

'Other times he's not nice. He's a man Barbara! she joked, as she opened up her New York City home to the talk show host.

The white stuff: Mariah opened up her New York home to the programme, showing a stunning music room

Walk in wonder: The diva showed the talk show host her sumptuous closet

Spacial: The star and her husband of three years showed off their spacious apartment

Dressed to impress: Monroe left looked angelic in white, while Morrocan looked smart in camel blazer

Mariah and Nick welcomed the twins on April 30, on their third wedding anniversary, at a Los Angeles hospital.

Nick also recently said that his children's personalities were already showing through, with Monroe a lot like her famous mother.

'My daughter is a diva. My son is laid back. When he wakes up, he wakes up smiling. He'll wait for a minute and if he's hungry, he'll let you know.'
