Mary J. Blige always brings the glamour when she hits the red carpet and tonight at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards was no different.
The “Family Affair” singer — who is set to perform tonight, as well as receive the Billboard Icon Award — wore a sultry long-sleeve black dress featuring an abdomen cut-out and high-low skirt by Julien Macdonald. The 51-year-old hitmaker styled the chic number with a pair of ankle-strap black leather sandals boasting a pointed toe. She added oversized hoop earrings, a watch, bracelets and several rings, too.
