Blige opted to ground her look with a pair of black strappy sandals. The heels had a height of approximately 4 inches and included a thin black strap, and had multicolored crystal embellishments along the toe strap.

A sleek staple during warmer months, many stiletto sandals incorporate a simple strap across the toes and a fastener strap around the ankle, creating a barely-there construction. The heel of a stiletto sandal is often 4 inches or above, adding some height for a flattering silhouette.

When it comes to her clothing tastes, she tends to wear sophisticated and fashion-forward silhouettes. Recently, Blige wore a black satin bomber over a white tee paired with tight-fitting light-washed jeans and denim patchwork knee-high boots by Dolce & Gabbana while sitting courtside at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center for Game 3 of the playoffs between the Brooklyn Nets and the Boston Celtics. Also, she recently wore a sleeveless fuzzy black vest teamed with an electric blue knit sweater, black leather pants and blue thigh-high boots for a sleek Instagram post.
