74 years young, the imitable style of Grace Jones is forever seared into our minds. From iconic moments with Azzedine Alaïa, leather aplenty and bold, vibrant colours, the singer-actress-model could turn any look into a certified moment. Whether it be on the dance floor of Studio 54, skiing European alpine slopes or on runways across the globe, Jones transcended trends, went against the status quo and cemented herself as a muse to many including Andy Warhol and Helmut Newton. Even today, she continues to permeate the zeitgeist, cited as an inspiration to contemporary artists like Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Solange. On the occasion of her birthday, we look back at some of the most iconic moments in Grace Jones' style. An odyssey of sequins, shining bright for all to admire.
