...thinking about the millennium and showed an apocalyptic-appropriate silhouette shaped like a mushroom cloud. Moreover, they put the show together on a shoestring budget--so '90s! There were a few sublime moments, however, such as the Jean-Louis Scherrer cape, near left, and the appearance in Thierry Mugler's show of CYD CHARISSE, all 77 years of her, looking as va-va-voom as anyone...
...says that in private the singer "laughs all the time" and spends her nights watching Bette Davis videos. But riding in her limo recently, Blige is, at first, a little wary of questioning. She comes alive, though, when we make a stop at the showroom of French designer Thierry Mugler. She loves shopping at the pricey places--Versace, Fendi, Chanel.
