Mary J Blige Serves Fashion At The Strength Of A Woman Festival

Mary J Blige kicked off her first-ever Strength of a Woman festival this past weekend, and she did it with beauty, style, and grace at the forefront. The musical genius and icon alternated between a few casual looks and star-studded ensembles that have us drooling at the mouth. On Thursday evening, the 51-year-old singer was honored by Atlanta City Councilwoman Keisha Sean Waites with her very own “Strength of a Woman Day,” an honor she received for hosting her festival in the city known as the Mecca for Black people, celebrities, and entertainment. Her outfit at that event foreshadowed what we could expect over the next couple of days. Our girl hit us with several looks that will have you reaching for our wallets. Or, in my case, sourcing outfit inspiration because I’m not in Blige’s tax bracket just yet. Ahead of her sold-out concert held at the State Farm Arena, the 9-time-Grammy-Award-Winning artist told me that if I loved the boots she wears on the regular, I would love the fancy footwear she rocks during the concert later that night.

“We got some shit for y’all tonight. Just make sure you’re at the concert. The boots are serious tonight,” she laughed. Serious, indeed! Without further ado, here’s a rundown of all the fly ensembles Queen Mary rocked during her Strength of a Woman festival from Thursday to Sunday.
