The Look Book

Mad Hot Uniondale

For one night last month, the Long Island village was the epicenter of fly. The Mary J. Blige–Jay-Z concert at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum brought out big boots, fat chains, and some amazing hoodie-and-hat combos. “Look Book” joined the party.

What brought you out tonight?
Mary J. I was going through a very bad breakup, and listening to Mary is what got me through. She was like, you can get over being depressed, you don’t need a man to make you happy.
Are you still single?
Yep! Oh yeah. I’ve been single a whole year now, and I love it. I have a beautiful 3-year-old son and that’s my man.
Who did you come with tonight?
My sisters and a friend of mine, because everybody does love Mary J. To see her feeling good about life, it’s just like, oh yes. There is a reason to live.
