We love us some Mariah Carey here at TGJ. However, there’s no denying that the diva has become renown for wearing little in recent years.

It’s refreshing, then, to see her taking on new visual inspiration – even if only for a themed shoot.

Mimi, along with other notable names such as Katy Perry and Oprah Winfrey, appear in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine for a unique Icons feature.

Snapped by Jean Paul Goude and directed by Carine Roitfeld, the concept sees today’s Icons (not sure about Katy Perry, but we digress) transformed into legends from history.

For 45 year old Mariah, the muse was was French queen Marie Antoinette.

Speaking on the shoot, the singer said:

“I’m pretty much the opposite of Marie Antoinette, but it’s always fun to throw on a costume.”

Check out the original painting below…

Other Mimi news, she’ll be heading to Europe for her first tour in the region in 13 years.

    Mariah rarely does this kind of thing. Great seeing more and more things from her.

    Would love to see her do more shoots like this. A video in the style of, would be amazing.

    Instead of chasing butterflies and checking your weave, how about you focus on FADED as a potential smash it could have been. She annoys me now. She and Jlo are refuse to grow up

  13. another bty day something ain’t wrong July 31, 2015

    Great for mariah carey

  14. Elaine July 31, 2015

    That painting is not of Marie Antoinette. It’s Charles Collé’s mistress. Marie was only 12 years old in 1767 when that was painted
