Mary J Blige Shimmers on the Carpet at Met Gala 2021

Mary J. Blige is shimmering on the carpet.

The 50-year-old “Family Affair” singer was in attendance at the 2021 Met Gala on Monday (September 13) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The annual Costume Institute Gala is the fashion world’s equivalent of the Oscars and the event is usually held on the first Monday of May, but it was postponed until September 2021 due to the pandemic. The theme this year is “In America” and there will be a two-part exhibit with the second part debuting at next year’s Met Gala.

Earlier this summer, Mary attended the premiere of her documentary, which chronicled painful parts of her past.

“To go back and actually show them [fans] where the pain came from, it was heavy, but it was nothing because those are my fans. In order to do a My Life documentary, you have to go back and show people what happened, you know? Why it happened and where did all this pain come from,” she said. Find out more about it!
