Grace Jones at Studio 54, 1978: A Look Back

HuffPost Social Reading


"A Look Back" is a daily column that highlights a moment from fashion's fabulous past. Today's pick is a photo of actress and singer Grace Jones at Studio 54 from 1978. Is she wearing a hat? A cape? An octopus? It doesn't even matter. This photo has me asking, "Lady Gaga, who?"

Grace Jones is relevant again, thanks to Lady Gaga ALWAYS paying homage to the divas who paved the way for her. There’s no reason to be mad at Lady Gaga for taking us back to the future.

no, but we can be irritated at her for writing mediocre songs and being very bad at doing outre style.

I just set this as my desktop background.
Goes well with the Rosario Dawson red-carpet look wearing a boa, whom I have on my phone wallpaper, ha!

She was Gaga before we'd heard of Gaga.
One photo?? C'mon, how 'bout a slide show? Grace is always worth an extended look.

She is 64 and still performing and dancing and singing. She did a whole show dancing, singing and hula hooping just a couple of years ago! Here is video of one song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpwlWBWyRDo

That's right! Grace Jones was a step ahead of her times, and now Lady Gaga has taken Jones Throne. There's noting original about Lady Gaga.
