The Stunning Photo On Instagram
The label – which is known for their tights, bodysuits, shapewear, and others – shared a photo from the campaign on their Instagram page recently.
Ageless Physique
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.
Not A Throwback Pic
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 .”
‘Hasn’t Aged In 40 Years’
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.”
A Lingerie Model At 74
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.

Another post described her as “extremely versatile & inclusive” and “empowering women…with confidence & flair,” just like Wolford.
