Mary J. Blige’s 2024 Strength of a Woman festival and summit wrapped with a fine footnote thanks to Giuseppe Zanotti. The hip hop queen and designer released a limited-edition “Giuseppe for Mary J. Blige” boot inspired by similar styles the singer often favors onstage. The thigh-high footwear is done in a slouchy mirrored rose gold style and set on a block heel.
“Mary is a trailblazer — in music, in culture and in style,” Zanotti said in a statement. “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, who has been a friend to Zanotti for years, reconnected during a recent trip 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.”
The boots are available for $1,295 on giuseppezanotti.com and exclusively in the Giuseppe Zanotti boutique in Atlanta.
