Wild thing! Mariah Carey looked back in good health as she was spotted heading to dinner in New York on Thursday night
Making the most of her shapely pins, she slipped into a pair of cut-out leggings, elongating her stature with a pair of festive sparkly heeled boots.
Injecting a generous splash of colour, the We Belong Together hitmaker teamed it with a red leopard print trench coat, adding a splash of designer with a statement Birkin bag.
Mariah wore her hair in perfectly preened locks, smiling at photographers as she headed to her waiting car.

Last week the mother-of-two confirmed she was back in good health and returning to work, writing: ‘Looking forward to seeing you today at the World AIDS Day 2017 concert and then starting the Christmas tour festivities!’
The diva wrote: ‘I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones; it’s certainly nice to remember what we are grateful for!’
‘Like most, I’m thankful for my overall health… for which I need a bit more time to get right. Doctors have ordered a few extra days of rest before I can finally fly to New York and take the stage for my Christmas Tour.’
She ended: ‘While this news disappoints me to share, I am grateful to be on the mend and for the support from all of you – it means the world to me! See you from the stage soon darlings! [heart emoji], Mariah’

The hitmaker was forced to sit out of her November 27, 28, and December’s first show.
Before her post on Friday, the Touch My Body songstress wrote: ‘Lambs! Just in time for the holiday gift-giving season, it seems I’ve received a present of my own; a lovely upper respiratory infection after last week’s flu.’
The New Yorker continued: ‘Bleak! You know there is nothing I love more than celebrating the holidays with my festive Christmas show, but I have to take my Doctor’s orders and rest until he says I can sing on stage.
‘Until then, unfortunately, I have to cancel the first several shows of my upcoming Christmas tour. I’m going to do all that I can so that I can see you soon!’
All I Want For Christmas- her most popular holiday song- has grossed more than $50million just in royalties, according to The Detroit News.
