Mariah Carey Just Snuck Into the Grammys in a Hip-High-Slit Naked Dress

The red carpet at tonight's Grammy Awards was nothing short of spectacular. You had Taylor Swift in Schiaparelli couture, Olivia Rodrigo in vintage Versace, and Dua Lipa in custom Courreges. But you know who we didn't get to see on the red carpet? The one and only Mariah Carey. As the presenter of the very first award of the evening, Carey made the wise decision to skip the step-and-repeat and head straight backstage. 

Presenting Miley Cyrus with her first-ever Grammy award, Carey wowed in a glittering Laura Basci gown with a slit cut up to her hips. As for Cyrus, she changed out of her safety-pin dress into a much more comfortable jumpsuit to accept her award. Scroll down to see all the photos.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
