Mary J. Blige glimmers and sparkles in her latest eye-catching look.

The “My Life” singer attended the Met Gala last night in a dress suitable for the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul. For the ensemble, she donned an edgy long-sleeve gold gown from Dundas that incorporated a wave-like pattern embroidered throughout the dress and a plunging neckline with a thigh-high slit.

When it came down to the shoes, Blige popped on a pair of metallic gold-heeled Casadei sandals that added refinement to the aesthetic and tied in well with the color palette of the ensemble.

Blige’s personal style aesthetic consists of fashion-forward looks that feel trendy yet timeless. She’s known as a tastemaker and her taste has been highlighted for years thanks to her innovation and creativity. She gravitates towards silhouettes like printed separates, fur coats, intricate suiting, edgy dresses, bikinis and leather galore. The running consensus from her fans on social media and pictures featured on her Instagram feed alike is that Blige has an affinity for boots of all lengths, but thigh-highs in particular.

When on red carpets, Blige makes statements in gowns from high-fashion luxury brands like Alexandre Vauthier, Ralph & Russo, Roberto Cavalli, Gucci, Fendi and many others. Riddled throughout her Instagram are pictures of her wearing garments from brands like Gucci and MCM, just to name a few.
