Aging is a privilege worth celebrating, and Mary J. Blige fully leaned into that mindset for her 52nd birthday. The “Family Affair” singer threw a huge birthday bash over the weekend, and pictures from the night display her stunning outfit for the occasion: a silver crystallized mini dress with a plunging neckline, complete with equally dazzling jewelry, heels, and a lush fur coat.

Blige showed off the ensemble in a series of photos on Instagram (which also included a mid-evening outfit change into a hot pink mini dress with sparkly knee-high boots). “WOW!!! What a night!!! It’s nothing like partying with people you really LOVE and who LOVES you back!!!” she captioned the post. “That energy was crazy and unmatched!!! Thank you to everyone for all the birthday LOVE!!! I’m so overjoyed and still recovering from Saturday!!!”

Fans and followers loved the looks and wished her a happy birthday. “You are truly a Goddess,” one person commented. “It looked amazing and you look beyond!” another added. “One of one! ❤️” someone else wrote.

At 52, Blige’s enthusiasm for life has only intensified with age, and some might say it’s hard to believe she’s a day over 40, given her youthful energy and glow. So how does the music legend age so gracefully? Her top tip is to keep a positive attitude.

“My secret to aging and anti-aging is really try to think as positive as you can about life because frowning and stressing wears on the face,” she told journalist Miranda J. in a TikTok last year.

“And then try to drink a lot of water,” she continued. “Exercise—kind of the same thing.” She added that vitamins, facials, and “how you moisturize your skin” are also very important, which includes being vigilant about removing makeup every night.

“Take off that makeup, do not go to sleep with that makeup on, number one. Get it off there,” she said. When it comes to working out, in 2020, she told Health she lifts weights to “keep everything firm.”

Dancing the night away at her party undoubtedly helped, too. Happy birthday, Mary!
