Lately The Gals have seen a lot of Grace Jones inspired looks through music videos, photo shoots and regular everyday style. Some celebrities, like Amber Rose and Rihanna, have really been inspired.

That is why current entertainers can go back to her many different looks for inspiration. Before there was a Madonna or Lady Gaga, there was Grace Jones.
