Just Fine at 51! Check Out Some Of Mary J. Blige's Flyest Moments On Her Birthday

We're giving Mary J. Blige all the flowers, compliments, well-wishes and positive "holleration" she can handle on her 51st birthday
By Rivea Ruff · Updated January 12, 2022

It’s one of our favorite Capricorns’ birthdays!

Mary J. Blige turns 51 years young today and quite obviously decided aging simply wasn’t her thing anymore sometime in her early thirties.

The iconic songstress and actress has been consistently setting the bar for culture and style since the mid-1990’s, and shows no sign of slowing things down anytime soon.

Whether she’s hitting the stage with her signature dance moves and thigh-high boots, or chopping up a scene on the screen in one of our most beloved shows or movies, Mary J. always serves style, class, and attitude.

As we celebrate another year of greatness from the queen of hip-hop soul herself, take a look back at some of her recent stylish moments from the carpet to the stage. Cheers to 51 more fabulous years!
