Grace Jones is ageless!
The multihyphenate icon may be 74 years old but she’s not hanging up the lingerie just yet. In fact, she just scored a new campaign with luxury intimate apparel brand Wolford.
The label – which is known for their tights, bodysuits, shapewear, and others – shared a photo from the campaign on their Instagram page recently.
It shows Jones striking an assertive pose while wearing a sleeveless white bodysuit from the brand – her mile-long legs and toned physique on full display.
If we didn’t know better, we’d think it was a throwback photo from her modeling heyday. One follower wrote in the comments section, “If it’s now … She is just amazing 🔥.”
The other commenters were just as impressed with the model/singer/actress.
One said, “Hasn't aged in 40 years,” while others called her a “POWERHOUSE,” “ICON,” and “THE one and only.”
Over on Twitter, a user shared a couple of images from the campaign with the caption, “You glance and think these must be throwbacks. Grace Jones laughs at you because this is a shoot for Wolford’s Spring 2023 campaign…and she is 74.”
Days ago, Wolford introduced the campaign on social media with a series of posts.
They included photos of Jones in a series of striking poses while wearing a body-con black dress from the brand.
“Proud to showcase Grace Jones once again, a style icon for Wolford since the 1990s, renown[ed] for her uniqueness & bold, recognizable features, sporting Fatal dress, two famous icons reunited!” one of the captions said.
Another post described her as “extremely versatile & inclusive” and “empowering women…with confidence & flair,” just like Wolford.
On the label’s website, the Slave to the Rhythm singer is featured as well, along with her Wolford outfits (the bodysuit retails for $265 while the dress is $240, for those who want to shop the looks).
Jones rose to fame in the ‘70s and ‘80s, with modeling stints in New York and Paris alongside fellow fashion icons Jerry Hall and Jessica Lange.
Later, she became a recording artist as well, with disco, reggae, and new wave albums to her name.
She got into acting in the mid-‘80s, starring alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Destroyer and famously becoming a Bond girl in 1985’s A View to a Kill.
She became known for her androgynous looks and signature flat top hairstyle as well as her bold personality. The wild stories from her Studio 54 days were legendary!
Now, with her Wolford campaign, it’s obvious the age-defying Jamaica-born icon hasn’t lost any of her spunk.
Her return to the modeling scene comes half a decade after she criticized the fashion industry in an interview with The Guardian.
“I’m glad I’m not doing it now,” she told the publication back in 2017. “I’d probably be dead. Everybody’s so skinny. Size 0 is like the walking dead. Not sexy at all.”
She explained that she was a “model size 6, 8” back in the day. “Now I can’t get into model sizes, because they’re really small,” she lamented.
When asked what old age meant to her, she replied, “Oh God, I never use those words. I just call it wisdom.”
