Mariah Carey Embraces Throwback Look While Out to Dinner in Aspen

Mariah Carey‘s going back to her roots — her hair roots, that is — changing up her usually silky smooth ‘do for a curly look reminiscent of her style back in the day.

The singer-songwriter pulled up to Catch Steak, a high-class restaurant in Aspen … bundled up in a pristine white coat and matching boots with just a hint of her long legs showing through the garment’s opening.

Her curly hair is eye-catching here … down the left side of her face while the hair on the right is tucked behind her ear.

MC’s holding hands with a man in these pics … unclear what their relationship is — but, the two seem happy to be out and about on the town together.

She also set a personal best this Christmas season … sitting atop the Hot 100 chart for 3 consecutive weeks now, which gives it 17 total weeks at number one since its release in 1994 — the most for one Mariah Carey song.
