Fenty Blockt Mask

The Item: Singer, entertainer and BET’s 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Mary J. Blige rocking The Fenty Blockt Mask! Blige was spotted in her Rihanna designed luxury accessory during a recent concert performance.

You Asked: Hi 1966! You guys are still my favorite page ever! My question is one Mary J. Blige’s look. From the picture I can tell that the sunglasses that she is wearing is by Fenty. But Rihanna has put out so much stuff recently I don’t know exactly what style these are.

I would like to find out what they are called and the price. Sorry but I just don’t feel like searching through Fenty’s site lol It’s mad annoying and can’t find what I want.

Ask and Tell: Fenty Blockt Mask As Seen on Mary J. Blige

The Verdict: Hi there back! Thank you for reaching out to us with a fab style question and no worries we feel your pain! Searching online for clothes can be the pits at times; but we have the couture intel you are seeking!

Yes, you are correct, Mary is indeed wearing Fenty. In fact, she is wearing the Fenty Blockt Mask. These are apart of Rihanna’s sunglasses collection. However, if searching online, literally put in “BLOCKT MASK” or you may have a tougher time finding them.

Also, WATCH OUT! We have noticed several online retailers popping up lately that selling these Masks; but for an extremely large markup. By like $200-$300 or more. Therefore, make sure you buy them from a reputable fashion retailer, or just from the FENTY site itself.

Price and Features

How much do the Blockt Mask cost on the Fenty website? Right now these stylish babies are under the $500 price point. Retailing for a cool $480.

Moreover, you don’t just have to stick to color that Mary J. Blige is wearing if you don’t want to. These Mask sunglasses come in three different hues. You can purchase them in:

  • Chardonnay -Golden yellow tone
  • Terra Cotta -Warm Auburn Copper Brown
  • Black Smoke – Dark, Edgy Noire Hue

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Ask and Tell: Mary J Blige Wearing Balmain Spring 2017 RTW

Mary J Blige Wearing Balmain

The Item: Mary J Blige Wearing Balmain Spring 2017 RTW. Mary was seen looking all cool in blue while performing down in hot Miami.

You Asked: Don’t you just love blue! I have noticed that you guys post a lot of blue clothes. So I figured that you must like it like me. I do have a question about Mary’s concert look. Who was she wearing? I think I have an idea but would like some confirmation. Thanks again.

Ask and Tell: Mary J Blige Wearing Balmain Spring 2017 RTW

Mary J Blige Wearing Balmain

The Verdict: Yes, we do love our blue! Actually, we consider all color to be a fashion friend. Nevertheless, we digress. For her concert in Miami, Mary J Blige said no more drama when it comes to style and pulled out the big couture guns. The songstress hit the stage in a garment from the Balmain Spring 2017 RTW (Ready to Wear) collection.

Mary J Blige Wearing Balmain

Now Mary’s look was not exactly how it was styled during Balmain’s Spring 2017 RTW runway show. Blige’s outfit transitions into an one shoulder ensemble. The model on the catwalk rocked a coverall with dramatic sleeves. Nevertheless, both versions have a voguish flair that sets the style bar high.

New York Fashion Week Celebrity Trend: The Bob Effect

New York Fashion Week Celebrity Trend The Bob Effect4

While all eyes have been on the amazing fashions coming down numerous runways we have still kept our peepers peeled for other trends as well. We took note of the fabulous hair that has been making its way to the front row. Celebrities play just as an important part as the models themselves when it comes to making a runway show successful. The more high profile persons you see camping out on the front row the hotter the designer must be and sought after.

Celebrities have been coming out to play in droves for New York Fashion Week making for a buffet of serious style. Therefore, what hairstyle trend have we seen to be a common denominator amongst the rich and fabulous? Leading ladies and music superstars have been indulging in the bob effect. These cuts are chic, very sassy and scream, “I am woman hear me roar!” Here are a few ladies we spotted:
