Speaking to reporters at the event, Carey — who was wearing a navy Valentino gown — revealed her favorite Oscar accessory is her hubby Cannon, who said he takes just “five minutes to get ready.”

Mariah — whose mother is Irish-American and her father was an African-American of Venezuelan descent — recently admitted she has had a complex about her face since she was 19.

“I remember starting out and being at a record company at 19 and having someone tell me, ‘This is your good side and this is your bad side. Don’t ever let anyone take pictures of you from that side. You look terrible from that side,’ and so on. It created this whole complex – like I didn’t already have a complex!” she said last month.

“I felt very different as a bi-racial person,” she said. “Growing up where I did, being half-black and half-white was a weird and difficult thing because I didn’t quite fit in either place and I moved around a lot.

“So when I went from that to this world it was like, let’s create an inferiority complex before we make this person go on TV and try to have confidence. So it was all about building self-confidence.”
