redible as she arrived on the red carpet at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday.

The star, who’s a 10-time BBMA winner during her illustrious career, is set to receive the Icon Award at the ceremony.

Ahead of all the festivities, the so-called Queen of Hip-Hop Soul took to the red carpet and showed, at 51, that she can still strut her stuff with pride, alongside any of the other stars on the musical landscape.

Legendary and iconic: Mary J. Blige, 51, is being honored at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards with the Icon Award; she’s also among the performers hitting the stage at the event

The It’s All Love star made her way in front of the line of photographers in a black-patterned dress that showcased her womanly curves.

With sharp, angular patterns, the number allowed Blige to flaunt her 5ft9in figure, as well as give hints of her cleavage and midriff.

Giving her an added boost, the New York City native wore a pair of black strappy heels that wound around each foot and ankle a few times.

She rounded out the overall look with her striking blonde tresses that came complete with bangs and a top ponytail that flowed well past the middle of her back

Beginning with her first two studio albums – What’s the 411? (1992) and My Life (1994), Blige is credited with influencing the musical marriage of hip hop and R&B, and thus earning her the nickname Queen Of Hip-Hop Soul.

In all, she has recorded and released 14 studio albums, headlined 10 tours, and co-headlined four more treks through parts of the world.
