Mary J Blige Kicks Off Memorial Day Weekend In A Fresh, Fly Bikini Look
Source: Joy Malone / Getty Mary J. Blige knows how to start the season right. While most of us are still pulling our swimsuits out of the drawer and defrosting from unusually cold temps on the East Coast this holiday weekend, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul is bringing the heat. Mary J jumped on Instagram and let us all know that summer has officially begun. 'Let's get the holiday weekend started!!!' she wrote on social media. RELATED: Mary J. Blige Is Fit And Fine On May 24, Mary dropped a few yacht-side pics that had fans gagging. Rocking a colorful, cut-just-right bikini, she gave us that effortless 'around-the-way girl on vacation' energy that only she can. The two-piece is loud in the best way—bright oranges, greens, pinks, and leopard print patches. The suit fit her like a glove, highlighting her curves, melanin skin, and body-ody-ody. Fans couldn't help but comment on her pictures, 'Body tea!!!' and 'Gooood lawd!' One fan joked, 'It's not even summertime yet, and Mary is showing out as she should.' And while her fit was fire, the vibe was even better. Mary wore an orange and white trucker hat, oversized aviator shades, and her signature long blonde hair flowing in the wind. The 'Good Morning, Gorgeous' singer is outside, looking good, and soaking up life. This is what we love about her. Whether on stage, in the studio, or catching rays on somebody's boat (or beach), Mary does it her way. And sis has been working. A few weeks ago, she hit the halftime stage at Madison Square Garden for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Repping New York, she wore a full pink Emilio Pucci look with bubblegum-pink, thigh-high Bottega boots. Even though the Knicks didn't bring home a win, Mary turned halftime into a must-see moment. Just like her recent holiday slay. From the court to the coast, Mary J. is living – and serving – as we all should this season.

Generate Key Takeaways There's always one epic selfie that comes out of Met Gala, and we have a contender for the 2025 celebrity group pic of the year — and this time, it wasn't taken in the bathroom. Fashion designer Stella McCartney managed to get the Queen of Pop and three of pop's brightest stars in one pic, posting a photo from inside the Met Gala with Madonna, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx and Lorde. McCartney posted the photo on her Instagram Story on Tuesday (May 6) with the caption: 'This year's Met Gala Stelfie… x' More from Billboard While we've seen individual photos of all four of the musicians on the Met red carpet from Monday night, this is the only evidence we've seen of their interaction inside the ultra-exclusive gala, where cell phones are discouraged and only Vogue cameras are allowed. Over the years, guests have been known to sneak celebrity selfies in the Met bathroom, with Kylie Jenner posting a famous pic with sisters Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian in 2017 alongside A$AP Rocky, Frank Ocean, Diddy and Brie Larson in 2017, while Billie Eilish posed with Halle Bailey, Elle Fanning and Maya Hawke for a 2023 mirror selfie. Before her pop-powered 2025 selfie, McCartney arrived at the Met Gala with a different music legend, walking the red carpet with Mary J. Blige, whom she dressed for the occasion in an off-white suit, matching floor-length jacket and a conversation-starting metal wide-brimmed hat. 'When I tried the cream with the pinstripes and the big shoulders, I was like, 'Oh, this is Mary J. Blige to the 10th power,'' Blige told Vogue of choosing the menswear-inspired McCartney look.
