Mary J. Blige Breaks Up Monochromatic Look With Fierce Black Boots at Alice + Olivia Beatles 60th Anniversary Celebration
Mary J. Blige made an appearance at the Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet x The Beatles Capsule Collection celebration in a pair of suede pointed-toe boots.
The celebration commemorated the 60th anniversary of the Beatles first U.S. tour in 1964 through a 17-piece limited-edition collection featuring artwork spanning the legendary band’s career, and it brought out other notable names such as Coco Rocha and Nicky Hilton Rothschild.
For the occasion, Blige opted for a pair of black suede pointed-toe boots that included a sharp, triangular design. The closed-back design kept her foot in place, while the silhouette was completed by a stiletto heel hitting the 4 inch mark in height. While the shoe was concealed by her flared pant leg, Blige notoriously has a penchant for boots.
Complementing her boots was an eye-catching red outfit that saw the “No More Drama” singer wearing a fitted red top with matching pants and a fiery red trench coat to top it off. The multihyphenate accessorized her look with a silver necklace and matching rings on her fingers. Her large silver hoop earrings further emphasized her burgundy hair style and 1990s-themed makeup.
Black pointed-toe boots continue to be versatile go-to when it comes to classic footwear, with a storied history that dates decades. Celebrities have been choosing to wear boots of all kinds on the red carpet and at major events this fall. From Lady Gaga’s platform Pleasure boots at a Vice President Kamala Harris rally or Jennifer Lopez in Chloé boots at the Toronto International Film Festival, boots can add a bit of edge and comfort to any ensemble.
When Blige steps out, you can almost always find her wearing her signature thigh-high boots. In fact, she was seen in a pair of Bottega Veneta at the Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet spring 2025 presentation this past September in New York City. Those boots included Intrecciato woven slouchy leather uppers, square toes, leather soles and thick 4-inch stiletto heels.
