Look who's officially back to her fabulous self in this sexy black gown and big curls:
Before Mariah accepted her BMI ICON Award, which recognized her prolifically successful and influential songwriting career, she received a hot tribute from producer Jermaine Dupri, gospel singer Karen Clark Sheard, R&B crooner Joe rocking “We Belong Together,” Eric Benet, who offered “One Sweet Day,” and "American Idol" alum Fantasia belting out “Hero.”

Honor well deserved.
