Mary J Blige in Silver & Gold Tony Ward Couture for "The Albies Awards" Gala

New York, often deemed the epicenter of global events, was the chosen venue for "The Albies Awards" – an initiative by the esteemed Georges & Amal Clooney Foundation. But amidst the philanthropic fervor, Mary J Blige, the queen of R&B and soul, added another dimension with her entrancing appearance in a Tony Ward Couture dress.

The dress, a shimmering interplay of silver and gold, echoed the Charleston era – a time synonymous with freedom, expression, and of course, jazz. This was not just a dress; it was a historical narrative, weaving together the legacy of music, dance, and cultural revolution. Mauricia Henry, the visionary stylist behind this look, harmonized the ensemble's historical essence with Mary J's modern, powerful persona. The result? A timeless fashion statement at a gala celebrating global change and empowerment.
