She's usually quite covered up compared to her peers.
But in honor of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Mary J. Blige put her toned physique on display.
Baring
her taut tummy and lean legs, the 42-year-old musician opted to wear a
black long-sleeved crop top and matching high-waisted monochrome mini
skirt as she attended the Catherine Malandrino Spring/Summer 2014
presentation in New York City.

toned figure in a crop top and mini skirt as she attended the Catherine
Malandrino presentation for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York on
Tuesday
She teamed the pieces with a pair of laced peep-toe booties.
And
adding a geek chic vibe, the rap legend sported her signature cat-eye
specs over
her slightly touched-up face, as her blonde locks swept to
the side.
Completing
her look, Mary J. toted a black, chain-strap Chanel handbag, looking
lovely as she posed with pals such as Taraji P.Henson, 42.

Last month, the Queen Of Hip Hop Soul flaunted her figure on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, with certainly no sign of the money worries troubling the chart star as she enjoyed a luxury European summer break.
In
June, it emerged that she is being sued for allegedly cancelling a
concert in Dallas, Texas, so that she could perform with the Rolling
Stones in New York.
The
No Drama singer and her production company are being sued by Vision
Entertainment Worldwide (VEW) after she pulled out of the gig on
December 9, 2012.

Mary was reportedly
paid a deposit of $145,000 to perform, but cancelled the concert a few
days before it was scheduled to take place after she accepted the offer
to perform with Mick Jagger and his band at the Barclays Center, reports
TMZ.
VEW is seeking $145,000 in damages from the performer who has run into other money problems in recent times.
The
singer was hit with a $3.4million tax bill last month after being
accused of avoiding her US federal taxes for three consecutive years
from 2009.
In addition to her federal taxes, Mary also reportedly owes the State of New Jersey over $900,000 in back taxes.
Mary's
money woes do not end there, as she was sued earlier this year for
allegedly defaulting on a $500,000 bank loan, which she took out between
2005 and June 2012.
