Mary J. Blige Shows Off Her Curves Down In Nawlins! (PHOTOS)

Mary J. Blige, along with all of our favorite R&B stars are down in New Orleans, LA this July 4th weekend for the annual Essence Music Festival. Last night Mary hit up the 8th annual McDonald's 365 Black Awards with her hubby, Kendu.

The singer was honored by McDonald's during the awards ceremony which highlights entrepreneurs for their various efforts in giving back to the community. She was specifically recognized for work on her FAWN project (For The Advancement of Women Now) that helps assist under privileged women across the states.

Mary rocked a grey and black cheetah print curve-hugging dress along with her blonde bob.

While at the awards show she revealed that she's set to shoot the "Nina Simone" movie this September and she's working on her "My Life 2" album right now. We can't wait!
