Mary J. Blige is trending on social media after announcing her boot collaboration with Giuseppe Zanotti.
Fans were surprised to see that “The Mary Boot,” a shiny rose gold thigh-high with a chunky heel, was selling for a steep $1,295 on giuseppezanotti.com.
On X, numerous users suggested that the high price tags weren’t aligned with her target audience, proposing that she should have partnered with Steve Madden instead.
However, die-hard fans rushed to her defense, arguing that Mary has never been cheap, and her aesthetic has always exuded luxurious “rich auntie” vibes. Furthermore, the boots sold out online on Tuesday, proving the point.
Many believed Giuseppe was the top pick for the R&B legend, asserting that Mary wouldn’t be caught wearing Steve Madden boots.
