Mary J. Blige headlined at the Paper Magazine 2011 Nightlife Awards with an electrifying performance of some of her hit songs plus a few new ones.  Hosted by talk show host Wendy Williams and PAPER editor-in-chief Mickey Boardman, the event awarded prominent New Yorkers who go out a lot or keep those who go out a lot entertained as well as venues and talents.  Mary had the entire room on their feet as she rocked out in a white jumpsuit  with studs around the neckline and the sleeves.  It was cinched at the waist with a brown suede belt.  Completing her look was a pair of sexy brown over the knee suede boots that matched the belt.

Mary looked so absolutely stunning.  We’re loving the blond bob with bangs she sported last night.  Of course her hubby was there to support as well as fashion icon Patricia Field, who was thugged out with corn rows in her fiery red hair.  Stylist June Ambrose, singer Estelle and designer Chris Benz were among the guests at this exclusive fete.
