1Mariah Carey may have admitted ‘gaining a few pounds’ since her marriage to Nick Cannon, but she clearly isn’t ashamed of her curvier physique.

Performing at the latest stop on her Angels’ Advocate Tour in Los Angeles last night, Carey showed off her figure in all its glory in a figure-hugging gold dress.

The two-piece dress, which started as a billowing ball gown before a section was whipped off to reveal a ruffled mini, appeared slightly too small for her ample curves.

Clearly feeling confident with her figure, Carey showed off her tanned legs in a pair of silver sequinned £775 pair of Christian Louboutin peep-toe heels as she performed with her troupe of hunky dancers at the Gibson Amphitheatre. Carey descended on the stage sitting in a swing in the huge ballgown, before her dancers whipped off the skirt to reveal the mini underneath.

The dress was a gold variation of an outfit she has worn at previous concerts, which have also been made in white and lilac. Speaking last summer, she admitted her happy marriage to toyboy husband Nick Cannon, 29, had affected her waistline.
