Mariah Carey, 52, showcases curvaceous figure in tiny LBD while out with beau Bryan Tanaka, 39, in NYC… as she embarks on busy Christmas season

Mariah Carey, 52, enjoyed an outing with her dashing boyfriend Bryan Tanaka, 39, in New York City this Friday.

The All I Want For Christmas Is You showed off her curvaceous figure in a clinging, tiny black cocktail dress while out in New York this week.

Draping herself in a long black leather coat that slid fashionably off her shoulders, the pop diva accessorized with massive black shades.

She balanced expertly on a towering pair of black platform stilettos as she strutted her stuff down the sidewalk.

Bryan, who used to be one of Mariah’s backup dancers, has been dating her since 2016 after she split from Australian billionaire James Packer. 

Until recently Mariah was facing down a $20 million copyright lawsuit brought by a writer called Andy Stone who claimed her seasonal classic All I Want For Christmas Is You was ‘derivative’ of a song he wrote in 1989.

His song was also called All I Want For Christmas Is You, and although the music and lyrics are different he felt he should have the rights to the name.

However she can now breathe a sigh of relief as the plaintiff filed to dismiss his suit this Tuesday, according to court documents seen by Rolling Stone.

Mariah, who according to legend once had a concert rider stipulating she ‘doesn’t do stairs,’ is currently throwing herself into a typically chockablock holiday season.

This Tuesday saw the publication of The Christmas Princess, a children’s book she co-wrote with Michaela Angela Davis, who also worked on Mariah’s memoir. 

Early next month she will be bringing her annual Christmas concerts first to the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and then to New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Along with numbers from her two Christmas albums, Mariah will include some items ‘I’ve never performed live before,’ she dished to USA Today recently.

She hopes to ensure the performances are ‘as magical as possible,’ citing the affection she feels from her fans, whom she has taken to calling her ‘lambs.’

‘Oftentimes as a child, or even throughout earlier parts of my career, I did not feel loved,’ she confessed. ‘I certainly never felt unconditional love and that’s what I have with my fans: that connection. So I’m extremely excited.’

Further in the future, she and her old Precious director Lee Daniels are collaborating on a TV movie based on her 2020 memoir The Meaning Of Mariah Carey.

As for finding the right actress to play her, Mariah said: ‘I don’t think it’s about “cast the girl who sings the Mariah Carey style,” whatever that is.’

What she wants is ‘a great actress with a somewhat similar look and just making sure the acting is there. Because we have the music – they can sing along to it.’

Mariah, who shares her 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with her sizzling ex-husband Nick Cannon, has tailored her home life around Christmas as well.

‘When I’m not on stage and I’m in holiday mode, there are rules that I set. I don’t care who it is – the kids, if I have guests, whatever – nobody is allowed to play or watch anything other than a Christmas-related thing,’ she said.

‘If I wake up in the middle of the night and walk into the living room, and the music isn’t playing and the lights aren’t on, I just can’t handle it.’

Mariah’s latest busty sighting comes one day after Nick revealed that he is expecting his 12th child, his second with model Alyssa Scott.

After Nick’s 10th child was born in September, an Us Weekly source dished: ‘Mariah doesn’t keep up with Nick’s babies and baby mamas. There’s too many to keep up with! She’s happy for him and wishes him the best.’
