Mariah Carey sparkled as she took over the Mundo Stage during Rock in Rio Festival, held at Cidade do Rock in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Sunday.
The We Belong Together hitmaker, 55, delighted Brazilian fans during her headlining set by wearing a bedazzled dress featuring the national flag.
The sparkling green, blue and yellow ensemble was form-fitting and featured a saucy thigh-high side slit.
The singer — who recently suffered the loss of her mom and sister — accessorized with a chunky diamond bracelet and butterfly ring, and wore her blonde tresses cascading down in loose curls.
Other performances of the night included Shawn Mendes, 26, and Akon, 51.

Mariah was joined by a number of male backup dancers in white tank tops and matching pants.
She closed out the seven-day Brazilian festival, which draws an eye-popping 100K fans each year.
The star just performed a sold-out show at Allianz Parque in São Paulo last Friday, which she called ‘one of the best concerts ever.’
Carey is in Brazil with her 13-year-old fraternal twins Moroccan and Monroe Cannon. The day prior she treated them to dinner at the restaurant Aprazível in Rio de Janeiro.
They also made time to visit the 125ft tall Christ the Redeemer statue.
Mariah welcomed her kids during her six-year marriage to The Masked Singer producer-host Nick Cannon, which ended in 2016.
Her latest performance comes after she suffered the loss of her mother Patricia Hickey and ‘ex-sister’ Alison Carey Scott on August 24 at age 87 and 63, respectively.
The Portrait singer told People on August 27 that she was ‘heartbroken’ over the death of the Julliard-trained opera singer and felt ‘blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed.’

Mariah’s relationship with her mother and sister was complicated throughout her life.
She hadn’t spoken to Alison since 1994, and previously accused her sister of drugging her and trying to ‘sell me out to a pimp’ when she was 12.
‘When I was 12 years old, my sister drugged me with valium, offered me a pinky nail full of cocaine, inflicted me with third degree burns and tried to sell me out to a pimp,’ Mariah wrote in her tell-all.
Scott reportedly went on to file a $1.25M defamation lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court against Carey for ‘intentional infliction of immense emotional distress,’ but it never got far.
Mariah’s ex-husband Nick recently told Page Six, ‘She’s doing the best that she possibly can, considering the circumstances. But as a family, we just got to be there to support one another, show love.’
‘She’s really having a great time with the kids [in Brazil]. That is, you know, the most important thing in the world to her, so it’s outstanding to see them supporting their mom the way they do.’
After Brazil, Mariah will next use her five-octave soprano pipes on her 20-date Mariah Carey Christmas Time Tour, which kicks off November 6 at the Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in Highland, CA.
