This Fall, E! invite the masses into ‘Mariah’s World’ as legendary diva Mariah Carey opens the doors to her life in a much hyped docu-series.

To promote the show, which she stresses “isn’t a reality show,” the 46-year-old poses it up for Complex Magazine.

Mimi leaves the clothes in her wardrobe (as has become customary) and sports a number of daring ensembles which accentuate her freshly svelte physique.

Speaking inside the feature, the engaged mother of two explains that the eight-part special will focus on her upcoming wedding to billionaire James Packer, her European tour, and family life.

It won’t, she assures, be like “some” shows which “talk about other people and what they do and la la la.” [Hilariously she said this while nodding in the direction of a private dining area where The Kardashians were taping a scene nearby.]

Ahead of the debut of ‘Mariah’s World,’ see the ‘Touch My Body’ singer in action below…
