Mary J. Blige is usually styled to a tee on the red carpet.  So it’s odd to see the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul in this blah, black and white dress at the movie premiere for “Precious.”  Did Mary’s stylist take the day off?
The long dress would be cute for a less formal event, but it hides Mary’s svelte physique and as most empire waist dresses do, makes her look like she has a bun in the oven.
But maybe I’m being too harsh?  Do you think Mary J. looks Hot or Not?

VH1’s “Divas” live concert is back on September 17 (9 p.m.) featuring a new generation of talented ladies, including “American Idol” champ Jordin Sparks and Brit “X-Factor” winner Leona Lewis.

Here’s how you can copy Mary J’s old-school track suit look:
 
This Women’s Dale Jr. Le Mans Signature Jacket doesn’t have the same classic Adidas logo like Mary’s jacket , but it will do the trick.
 
These Women’s Response Court Warm-up Pants have black stripes, but if you run really fast on the treadmill maybe …read more

Mary J. Blige looks regal in this short-sleeved red gown.  It fits like a glove. I would surely need a Pilates class and Yummie Tummie ASAP in order to look as sculpted and toned as Mary.  But a girl can dream can’t she? And I was inspired to find a similar dress for less.  
I couldn’t find an exact replica, but look at the equally hot BCBGMAXAZRIA Women’s Sheer Jersey Twist Front V-back Evening Gown ($340) I found on Bloomingdale’s.com.
