Mary J. Blige came on the scene in 1992 and hasn't taken her foot off our necks since. Wearing baggy jeans and baseball caps with big earrings and curls she epitomized femininity while being able to hang with the boys. In the decades since, she's cultivated her own sense of style mixing high fashion glam always grounded in her NY roots. Mary is, and always will be, a fashion force. Let's take a look back at her style throughout the years. By: Alba Anthony
