MARIAH Carey didn’t tone down her diva-like dress sense one bit for an exclusive event held in honour of United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in Los Angeles this week.

Carey was among the stars to attend the private bash, held at movie mogul Brett Ratner’s LA estate Hilhaven Lodge on Wednesday.

Mariah also gave one lucky reporter a guided tour of the superyacht she calls home with billionaire beau James Packer.
