Mary J. Blige's 2024 Strength of a Woman festival and summit concluded on a high note, thanks to Giuseppe Zanotti.
The hip-hop star and designer unveiled a limited-edition boot called "Giuseppe for Mary J. Blige," inspired by the singer's onstage style preferences.
The thigh-high boots feature a slouchy, mirrored rose gold design and are elevated by a block heel.

“Mary is a trailblazer — in music, in culture and in style,” Zanotti stated.
“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.'”
Blige, a longtime friend of Zanotti, reconnected with him during a recent visit to the brand's showroom.
“Everyone is always asking me ‘When will you come out with boots?'” Blige said.
“Well, here they are. I’ve always loved Giuseppe’s aesthetic and how he combines Italian sophistication with this edgy energy. We’re so excited to finally share these with the world.”
One fan commented on X about the boots' price point, writing:
“Mary J Blige is teaching us a Million Dollar Lesson
It’s that everybody is NOT your target audience!”
The boots can be purchased for $1,295 on giuseppezanotti.com and are exclusively available at the Giuseppe Zanotti boutique in Atlanta.
