Carey makes appearance at Sundance Festival

Mariah Carey brought a touch of glamour to the Sundance Festival at the premiere of her new film.

The singer and actress appears as a social worker in 'Push', based on the novel by Sapphire, about an illiterate, overweight teenage girl living in Harlem.

Mariah arrived on the red carpet to pose for photos with hubby Nick Cannon, who is also promoting a film at the festival – before chatting briefly to reporters about her role in the flick.

She told them “we don’t do glamour” on the film set.

“The thing that I have to thank him for is allowing me to remove so many, just, layers of persona and all that kind of stuff, and to dig deep within myself as an actress and really be able to explore this character, ’cause the material is so great that I’m just privileged to be part of it.”
