Mary J. Blige Lights Up the Stage in Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal Boots During ONE Musicfest 2025

Mary J. Blige brought her bold style to the ONE Musicfest 2025 on Saturday, performing in Giuseppe Zanotti’s embellished boots alongside a texture-heavy outfit.

Completely covered in crystals, Blige’s footwear lit up the stage at Piedmont Park in Atlanta. Crafted in Italy, the roomy, slip-on silhouette boasted a silver-tone leather upper, as well as a pointy toe and skinny 105mm stiletto heel. Footwear brand Paris Texas offers a similar crystal-adorned stiletto boot in a knee-high silhouette.

The hip-hop queen has forged a close relationship with Giuseppe Zanotti over the years and even partnered with the namesake footwear designer on a limited-edition “Giuseppe for Mary J. Blige” boot, which she wore at the 2024 Strength of a Woman festival. “Mary is a trailblazer — in music, in culture and in style,” Zanotti said in a statement at the time. “She is confidence and glamor but there’s also a warmth and realness to her and I wanted to convey that incredible mix into ‘The Mary Boot.’”

The rest of Blige’s performance look on Saturday was equally as striking. The “Family Affair” singer was adorned in a light gray, cropped furry jacket with oversized sleeves and a slightly cinched waist. She contrasted the fuzzy outerwear with a velvet jumpsuit courtesy of Gucci. Enlivened with the luxury label’s instantly recognizable logo all over, the piece hugged the singer’s body. As for the rest of her accessories, Blige opted for large rhinestone-encrusted hoops and oval-shaped sunglasses.

Blige performed with The Roots for a curated set during the festival on Saturday. This year’s ONE Musicfest lineup also included the likes of Doechii, Ludcaris, Future and Kehlani.
