61 year-old Fashion Icon, Model and singer Grace Jones performed live at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday night (April 26) in London, England. Grace had about 5 or 6 costume changes and if you search youtube you can see all of them. I attached her entrance video to this post check it out below.

A hot ghetto mess!!!!!!!!
Grace is an icon. She’s been dressing like this for 30+ years. She is far from a mess. Check out that video. I’m still glad she put Lady Gaga on blast because if you do your research Gaga STOLE outfits from the legend and acts like she is the original.
She’s been a trendsetter since the 80′s.
RESPECT!
@Girly One
I totally agree. I don’t believe what she said about Lady GaGa was malicious. Just the truth. I’m sure GaGa and Rihanna would admit how much of an influence Grace Jones is on them.
Creativity breeds creativity.
ahhh my eyes!!
I’m glad Grace Jones put wack Gaga on blast!!! Grace Jones done all that since the 80s and these youngin’s think Gaga is innovative, NOT!!! SHE IS NOT ORGINAL!!! GAGA IS WACK!!! She won’t be around by the end of 2010-2011!!! GRACE JONES IS THE SHIT!!!
sorry i don’t know who she is but is she/ he a drag?
The original one. Alot of artists has bitten off of Grace’s style and won’t acknowledge that. She should have called out Rhianna ass too, but she probably feel like she is not a high caliber artist (can’t sang worth a damn)
& THAT is how to do Ms. Grace Jones…
HAHA AT SOME FOLKS WHO DON’T KNOW WHO GRACE JONES IS….ARE YOU SERIOUS?! “PULL UP TO THE BUMPER”? “MY JAMAICAN GUY”? FAM…PLEASE STUDY HER…SHE’S A LIVING ICON IN FASHION….DAMMIT HAVE YOU NOT EVEN SEEN THE MOVIE “BOOMERANG”? LOL
I love Grace Jones sure she looks a mess but it works for her.
first and foremost hope i live to be 61, she looks good
Go on Grace do you!
shes so gross but i love it
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS GRACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
SHOW EM YOUNGINS HOW ITS DONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
LIKE B.o.b. says NOT NOT NOTHING ON YOU, NOT NOT NOTHIN ON YOU!
GRACE IS OUT, SHE’S BACK LARGE N IN CHARGE!
GIRLY_ONE @ 2. Cosign Cosign Cosign. QUEEN OF FLAMBOYANT (outrageous, weird and impressed) IS BACK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOULJAH BOI SAID IT: TELL EM!
Mannnnn. her face looks “BUFFED” (LOL) from all that BOTOX!!!
So this is where Rihanna and Gaga gets their inspiration from
ewwwww
For those really young ones who dont know who Grace Jones, you can go find out.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Jones
Grace Jones is an ICON…and an INSTITUTION!
Grace Jones is the originator, author and creator of what Rihanna and Gaga are TRYING to do today. Don’t get it twisted young people…..it’s all been done before.
i cant believe there are people posting saying they dont know who grace jones is. What is up with the generation of kids coming up now a days? even when i was yougner i still knew about old school artists..this is wild.
Who want to pull up to Grace’s bumperrrrrrrr?
Say heyyyyyyyyyyy.
So Grace Jones is the original illuminati….#Imjustsaying
Anywho, lemme get this right, Gaga does it, its a mess…but Grace does it, and its hot…GTFOH…..If its a mess for one…its a mess for all, and even worse if you’re the creative force behind the mess….
Truth be told, Gaga is in a lane of her own…I think everyone knows that both Gaga and Rihanna have been inspired by Mr. Jones, but Gaga added her twist to it as did Rihanna. As do ALL artist….
And at 61 years old…she not to be dressing like this… or looking like this…I mean am I on the same blog where ppl complain about Beyonce being too old to dress in shorts, but yet applaud this 61 yr old woman who looks like a horse…
She was soooooooooooooooo PRESSED to come back and show off!!! We all know your a ICON Ms. Jones. But to try to come back just to make Gaga look bad “tsk tsk tsk’ Not very ICON-LIKE if ya ask me!!!! She looks good though…but still not using her…
My first time hearing about grace jones was when I was watching an episode of America’s next top model and The girl didn’t want to protray Grace Jones for her photo shoot..I can see why now—She totally looks like a man in drag.
GRACE COMES BACK AND DOES IT WITH CLASS. Gaga dont! Thats the difference.
Grace has always done this style. Gaga didnt start with this style. She adopted it as a gimmick to go along with the image she wants now.
Grace can come back when she wants, anytime she wants and still brings it! SHE CHOOSE TO BRING IT AGAIN NOW.
im sorry but i should not be able to see grace nipple in that pic
Her old ass needs to stop.
I cannot BELIEVE that you are advertising the double down sandwich when obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and hypertension are major issues in the African American community. In many neighborhoods there are more fast food restaurants and corner stores per square mile than supermarkets. This is very irresponsible of you. That sandwich is full of grease, salt and white flour and sugar and saturated fat. Not all money is good money and whether you know it or not you’re being paid to spread the oppression and bad health of your own people.
Who is this only lady trying to copy Lady GaGa?
okay grace
@ #10 U don’t even know who Grace Jones is so shut up…
A woman called Patra sang “Pull up to my Bumper Baby”…
Get it right!!!
LOL @ all the black delusional Lady Gaga stans in here trying to diss a real icon while praising a copycat. Anybody who doesn’t know Grace Jones and acts like Gaga and Rhianna are trendsetters should be ashamed of themselves. This lady is FASHION.
@32 She was fashion 20 years ago.
@28 I thought the same thing too when that diabetes wet dream popped up on my screen.
@ 1, how that be a hot ghetto mess when Lady Gaga does the same exact thing????
Grace Jones is an Icon…GOOGLE HER!
GAGA WHAT U GONNA DO?
All I wanna know is does she have sex?..Im saying who will fuck her.
LUV Grace Jones. The youngens don’t know what’s up. I don’t think she came back to make GAGA look bad, if you look her up, she’s been performing for years, mainly over seas. I hope when I get 61 (god willing) my body looks as good as hers does. And NO she is not a drag queen.
the queen of flamboyance and glamour ooooowwww
@LuLu Only your disturbed nosy sick ass want to know. Get a life
@31 ARE YOU F’ING SERIOUS! Grace Jones Recorded Pull Up To My Bumper in 1980. Patra recorded a cover of it in 15 years later! I just cant STAND IT! Thats just plain STUPID!
Grace Jones has been touring for a couple of years now, this isnt her first show to “show off”. If most of you kids crawled out of the asses of these artist today then you will know that all this today has been done before. Gaga is garbage, she wasnt even dressing like she is today until recently…. if you You Tube early Gaga she was an average chick just like everyone else until she adopted Grace Jones’ s style. Some of you should learn the history of music and black artist who paved the way for all these wanna be females… instead of t sitting here praising some white girl who took from a black artist (once again)
@KOFI..
Dont explain to these children, they dont think there were any artist before Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna..
Umm… Patra did a REMAKE of GRACE JONES’ Pull Up To The Bumper. Do your research and stop sounding ridiculous.
Next you gonna say Chaka Khan is biting off Mary J Blige with Sweet Thing.

DIVAAA!
IT’S FINE TO BE A GAGA STAN BUT AT LEAST SHOW SOME RESPECT TO THE ICON THAT SHE GOT HER STYLE FROM. I MEAN DAMN GRACE HAS BEEN WORKING HER ASS OFF FOR 4 DECADES AND PEOPLE STILL PAY MONEY TO SEE HER AT 61. HOW MANY OF YOU WILL GIVE A F*CK ABOUT GAGA WHEN SHE IS 61? DO YOU THINK SHE WILL HAVE A BODY LIKE THIS WHEN SHE’S A SENIOR CITIZEN? I THINK NOT. THAT B!TCH WILL BE LOOKING LIKE ONE OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS.
STOP THE MADNESS. Grace was known for outrageous “costumes” Was she wore was FAR from fashion.
Grace Jones:
1st woman to rock a hightop fade: FALSE
1st woman to wear a catsuit: FALSE
1st woman to paint her body in african style body paint: FALSE
1st woman to pose in a workout outfit: FALSE
Everyone gets inspiration from somewhere. She did NOT create her look, so please stop acting like Grace Jones has a right to diss anyone that wears “Costumes” in a performance. READ A BOOK!
all yall talking about rihanna…..listen grace jones and rihanna are from the Caribbean… rihanna may have copied 1 or 2 things from grace but i think comin from the caribbean it self is an inspiration that the to got from growing up in the caribbean….dat swag they both got is hyped! now gaga is the one yall should talking bout who copied grace jones from scratch…gaga is fake like seriously but her songs are good, some of them.
@31 SICK….. LOOKS LIKE THE OTHERS BEAT ME TO IT!! Its obvious that YOU dont know who Grace Jones is!!!! Lmao.. how about you do YOUR research before trying to tell somebody something!
LOL @ you!
Wow i didnt know that she still performed..
Good for her..
I hope that when i’m her age
I have enough energy to do the same..
Lady Gaga=Copycat
My eyes and my ears!
Lol just because some of us “youngin’s” don’t really know her – doesn’t mean we only know/listen to today’s artists.
And don’t blame CL for advertising “unhealthy” food – blame the people eating it.
You can tell Concrete Loop has a younger following. I can’t believe some of the posts here. Grace Jones is an Actress, Singer and Model!! She does all Three and WELL!! HOW many others can say that? Her performance in Boomerang made to movie if you ask me and she ALWAYS looks original. She was a BOND GIRL in the mid 80′s when BLACK and BOND didn’t mix. (“Mayday” Look it up youngsters) I can’t say I am surprised because it seems like knowledge of one’s past is Kryptonite to some of you. This lady paved the way for MANY women of color in THREE industries. There may NOT have been a Halle Berry if it hadn’t been for Grace Jones. Research her and learn something.
They ALL copy each other. Yep Grace Jones has been around for a long while but she is not the damn originator of her style. They too adopted their style from somewhere else. People kill me with thinking all the older heads are “originators”. I’m no huge Lady Gaga fan but if Gaga wants to copy her SO BE IT. Grace should be happy someone thinks highly enough of her to want to jack the shit. Its funny because Gaga gives all the credit and praise to Grace Jones for her style and Grace still wants to be a ASS, whatever just my opinion.
she is who Rihanna, Niki Minaj, Lady Gaga and any others who dress like that look up to!!!
How is grace jones being an a$$??
Why because she refuses to bend over and kiss that pale faced white lady’s a$$? I don’t blame her one bit. How dare you jack my entire style and name your album the same thing I named mine and turn around and offer to do a song together like I’m gonna forget you’re a thieving b!tch. These white folks always steal from blacks and get all the glory. Grace Jones told her to fall back. I say High Five to Grace Jones for not being afraid to stand up to whitey!
@ WTF Like I said and I’ll say it again she’s being a ASS!! I can see if Lady Gaga jacked the shit and didnt credit her. Then everyone would be complaining about how she jacked Grace and didnt give credit and blah blah blah. You just cant satisfy people. Gaga HAS GIVEN GRACE CREDIT FOR IT! and she has PLENTY of times. Grace doesnt have to kiss anyone’s ass that has nothing to do with anything. People act like its the end of the damn world because someone jacked something from someone, its 2010 GET OVER IT!!
@Mindful
Who did Grace Jones adopt her style from? While you think of an artist I’ll wait. And yes, older heads are the originators because back then there was no choice but be creative and think of new ways to entertain, but now everything has already been done its all recycled.
Its not the end of the world but you can tell the world is tired of copycats, tired of the loss of originality. Album sales are low because no one is worth investing in, they are just giving us what has already been done and passing it off as creativity…
if she a ghetto mess then so is Rihanna! Rihanna stole her style fromGrace jones get into it!
Ha! Lol. Good. Mememe calls out Sick for trying to call out somebody else telling them to get it right!. . . . Huh, come on now Sick!
” U are gonna turn down a pus*y..Like this, No MAN can turn down this pus*y” Hahahahaha!
