The world of R&B has a new princess, and it is none other than Mariah the Scientist \u2013 who just turned 28 today, October 27. The singer-songwriter captivated at the 2025 Victoria\u2019s Secret Fashion Show<\/span><\/a>, wearing a sheer floor-length Dior dress from John Galliano\u2019s fall\/winter 2003 collection for the French luxury house.<\/div>\n

The star was iced out with diamonds on her neck and ears, but her hairstyle stole the spotlight, with the dual tones of copper and platinum blonde complementing her stunning features.<\/p>\n

Mariah the Scientist, whose real name is Mariah Amani Buckles, grew up in Atlanta with her parents and her sister, Morgan, who is now her manager, per Highsnobiety. Her father, who worked in the police force, and her mother, who worked for the church, separated when she was young.<\/p>\n

After graduating from high school early, she attended St John\u2019s University in Queens, New York, on a partial scholarship. She was studying biology and aspired to become a paediatric anaesthesiologist.<\/p>\n

How did she get into music?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
