Mary J. Blige Turns Heads in Tassels and Thigh-High Boots at Off-White Fashion Show
Celebrities packed Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 2 for Off-White’s Spring/Summer 2025 runway presentation. Stars like Camila Cabello, Zayn Malik, Paris Jackson, Issa Rae, Flavor Flav, and Sunisa Lee sat front row to view the sportswear-inspired collection. Mary J. Blige was especially sportswear-focused as she posed for photos in front of guests.

Mary J. Blige is a huge fan of Off-White and the late Virgil Abloh. Naturally, the rapper wore head-to-toe clothing from the luxury fashion house, now helmed by Ibrahim Kamara. The “Real Love” singer wore a leather bomber jacket-inspired Off-White mini dress with white sleeves and a drop waist. As onlookers noticed, the dress was actually a skort, with the shorts featuring a cargo pocket on the left thigh.
Blige’s dress was trimmed yellow, white, red, and black with striped beading. Sexy tassels hung off the skirt and top’s hem, giving the dress movement and depth. A varsity-style patch on the dress’s right chest read “OFF.” Before arriving at the fashion show, the 53-year-old posted three photos of her outfit to Instagram, captioning them, “Off White but it’s giving black.”
Blige paired the look with orange square-rimmed sunglasses and thigh-high ruched leather boots. She accessorized with oversized gold hoops, green coffin nails, and diamond rings. The “Family Affair” singer wore her go-to red hair in a wavy ponytail and added a smokey eye beneath her sunglasses. Blige’s look certainly adhered to the Spring/Summer 2025 collection’s theme, which represented a mixture of America and Africa through the lens of sportswear.
Celebrities love Off-White
Kamara and his Off-White team transformed Pier 2 into a collection of community pick-up basketball courts for the presentation. The Off-White designer told The New York Times, “I’m working at an American brand, founded by an African American man, made in Milan and shown in Paris. It’s already very global. To that I’m adding Africa, my British experience, clubbing in London … I look at Off-White as a melting pot of ideas.”
The crowd certainly loved this melting pot. Singer/songwriter Camila Cabello wore Off-White via one of the label’s classic black dresses with a black mesh overlay. Model Alessandra Ambrosio donned a mesh hooded mini dress over a lacy negligee, and Olympian Sunisa Lee sported an Off-White grey sleeveless dress. Insecure star Issa Rae wore a stunning black Off-White gown trimmed in crystals at the neckline.
