Mary J. Blige, a global superstar and fashion icon, has been delivering excellent looks and timeless style since the start of her career. Hailing from the Bronx, Blige debuted with her beloved album What’s the 411?, which masterfully blended R&B, hip-hop, and soul, earning her the title of the “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul” and define an entire genre. She went on to release projects such as My Life and Mary. Blige’s extensive discography has earned her nine Grammy Awards, 37 Grammy nominations, and 15 studio albums, many of which have achieved multi-platinum status.
Her talents extend beyond music, as she has also found success in Hollywood, making her acting debut on The Jamie Foxx Show and starring as Monet, a pivotal character in Power Book II: Ghost. Blige has also ventured into the fashion world, collaborating with renowned shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti to release the limited-edition Mary Boot, which sold out almost instantly. A second collaboration followed which also sold out.
One memorable outfit is a bold, head-to-toe cheetah print ensemble, complete with a matching shawl draped over her head, ankle-length pants, black sunglasses, and gloves, which she rocked at the 38th Annual Grammy Awards in 1996.
