When it comes to appearing sexy, Mariah Carey is the expert. Nonetheless, this time around "Mimi" has changed the way she dresses as she, apparently, already comes to such realization not to use her sexual appeal to offend her self-esteem or her fans.

The pop diva will be gracing the March cover of Playboy magazine and she's not naked! Can you believe that? She does bare a lot of skin though. Mariah, reportedly, will be donning a skin-colored swimsuit or something that very much resembles one.

Seeing Mariah, who once was the world's most famous fashion victim, doing Playboy with clothes surely is something distinct. The photos were shot by her long-time collaborates Markus Klinko and Indrani, who also helped the singer's "Emancipation" cover art.
