since first busting onto the scene in 1992 and the
proof is not only evident through her music, but her
style as well. In the February/March issue of Vibe, the
magazine's cover girl talks about how she perceives
herself, beauty and her expanding career.
"I've evolved, I'm a woman now, and I've softened.
I've been a tomboy my whole life. But then you get
older, you get married, you soften up. You still have
that other exterior if needed," she says.
"When I'm made up and dressed up and my heart is
in the right place...," Blige says on when she feels the
most beautiful. "I'm not going to lie and say I feel
beautiful when I have on a hair scarf and I'm running
to the gym. I feel confident, but beautiful? No."
The singer, who executive produced and stars in the
Lifetime movie Betty & Coretta, based on the lives of
Dr. Betty Shabazz and Coretta Scott King, also
talks Rihanna, who has garnered the appreciation of
the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul herself.
"I am so proud of what Rihanna is doing. She is
speaking to her generation, and she's living her life
in front of them. I don't even think she is purposely
doing it. She's such a beautiful girl, and I don't think
she knows she's that beautiful," Blige says. "She's
just living her life, and leading her generation, and
she has great, great songs."
The February/March issue of Vibe will hit newsstands
Feb. 19.
