Mariah Carey, 55, shined as she took over the Mundo stage during the Rock in Rio Festival at Cidade do Rock in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Sunday.
The We Belong Together singer delighted Brazilian fans during her main performance by wearing a dazzling dress featuring the national flag.
Mariah was joined by several male dancers wearing white T-shirts and matching pants.
She closed the seven-day Brazilian festival, which attracts an astonishing 100,000 fans each year.
The star just performed a sold-out show at São Paulo’s Allianz Parque last Friday, which she called “one of the best concerts of all time.”
Carey is in Brazil with her 13-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon. The day before, she invited them to dinner at the Aprazível restaurant in Rio de Janeiro.
They also took time to visit the 125-foot-tall statue of Christ the Redeemer.
Mariah welcomed her children during her six-year marriage to The Masked Singer producer and host Nick Cannon, which ended in 2016.
Her latest performance comes after she suffered the loss of her mother Patricia Hickey and her ‘ex-sister’ Alison Carey Scott on August 24 at ages 87 and 63, respectively.
The Portrait singer said People on Aug. 27 that she was “heartbroken” by the death of the Juilliard-trained opera singer and felt “blessed to have been able to spend the last week with my mother before she passed away.”
The bright green, blue and yellow ensemble was body-hugging and featured a daring side slit up to the thigh.

Mariah’s relationship with her mother and sister was complicated throughout her life.
She had not spoken to Alison since 1994, and previously accused her sister of drugging her and trying to “sell her to a pimp” when she was 12.
“When I was 12, my sister drugged me with valium, offered me a pinky nail full of cocaine, gave me third-degree burns, and tried to sell me to a pimp,” Mariah wrote in her account.
Scott reportedly filed a $1.25 million defamation lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court against Carey for “intentionally inflicting immense emotional distress,” but it never got very far.
Mariah’s ex-husband Nick recently said Page six“She’s doing the best she can, considering the circumstances. But as a family, we just have to be there to support each other and show love.”
“She’s having a great time with the kids (in Brazil). For her, that’s the most important thing in the world, so it’s amazing to see them supporting their mom the way they do.”
After Brazil, Mariah will use her five-octave soprano voice on her 20-date Mariah Carey Christmas Time Tour, which kicks off Nov. 6 at the Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in Highland, California.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, Shawn thrilled fans before Mariah took the stage, as he showed off his muscles in a white T-shirt and blue jeans.
