Mariah Carey Explains Use of Wedding Dress in 'We Belong Together' Video

Mariah Carey recently revealed the inspiration behind wearing her original 1993 Vera Wang wedding dress in the 'We Belong Together' music video, sharing that she chose to reuse the gown instead of purchasing a new one to portray a bride running away from her wedding. The dress, originally worn during her marriage to Tommy Mottola and inspired by Princess Diana's iconic bridal look, added a personal and symbolic touch to the video. Carey highlighted that the video was a narrative continuation from her previous 'It’s Like That' music video, marking the first time she extended a story across two videos despite their different musical styles. She also reflected on her creative process and the collaborative effort with Jermaine Dupri during the making of her album 'The Emancipation of Mimi.' The decision to reuse the wedding dress reflected both a sustainable mindset and a creative approach to storytelling and fashion in her work.
