Grace Jones Iconic Style for Decades
Grace Jones is undeniably fabulous. The Jamaican supermodel, singer, and actress is more than just a triple threat. She is also a performer, club-goer, memoir author, and of course a style icon. Being a successful model in 1970s New York was Jones’ start and her career only continued: with her albums ‘Portfolio’ and ‘Nightclubbing’, time on the big screen in A View to Kill, and being a known face at Studio 54 parties. This doesn’t even cover it all and there is still no question Grace Jones is accomplished.
What we want to talk about is her insanely bold style. The glam diva has never shied away from a statement look. Here are our 10 favorite looks of Grace Jones that we can’t get enough of, from the 1970s to now, as she is in her 70s and still killing it!
