For her final look, Blige arrived in a vibrant monochromatic ensemble. The star’s outfit was made up of a fitted lime-green blazer, a matching pair of florescent straight-leg trousers and a low-cut corset top.
On Sunday, Blige and Giuseppe Zanotti unveiled their collaborative boot. The thigh-high slouch style is done in mirrored rose gold and set on a block heel. “I’ve always loved Giuseppe’s aesthetic and how he combines Italian sophistication with this edgy energy,” Blige said. “We’re so excited to finally share these with the world.”
Zanotti and Blige, who have been friends for years, reconnected during her recent visit to the brand’s showroom. “Mary is a trailblazer — in music, in culture and in style,” Zanotti said in a statement. “She is confidence and glamour but there’s also a warmth and realness to her and I wanted to convey that incredible mix into ‘The Mary Boot.’”
