20 Groovy Looks From the Studio 54 Era

BellaSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 09:00:49 -0700

Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Studio 54 was the place to be. During its heyday, the Manhattan discothèque was notorious for its jet-setting crowd of celebrities and socialites, and among other things, its reputation for drugs and illicit sexual liaisons among some of those in attendance. All hedonism aside, it was also an era where fluffy hair, lots of makeup, and sparkled accessories reigned supreme. Check out some of these trendy hair and makeup stylings, along with a few more shots of other famous disco-goers, now.

Love It or Hate It: Grace Jones' Headwear

FabSugarUK — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 09:00:58 -0700

Style icon Grace Jones took to the stage this week at the Latitude festival. She wore typically eye catching headwear for her performance which included a crescent shaped hat. She actually changed several times throughout her appearance, but this is my personal favourite. What do you think of Ms. Jones' unusual hat?

Trend Alert: Red Lips at The NME Awards

Red lips abounded on the red carpet at the NME's in a range of shades. Singer Florence Welch arrived with a vibrant, true cherry-red hue. Girls Aloud member Sarah Harding wore a goth, blood-red colour, and Jamaican-American model, actress and singer Grace Jones sported a look I haven't seen since the 80's - she rimmed her lips with a deep red-black lip liner! Personally, I love Sarah's edgy rocker lipstick the most: do you have a favourite too?

Freaky or Fabulous: Grace Jones' Piercing Performance Gear

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 06:00:22 -0800

It's Grace Jones mania around here. Ever since I saw her on the cover of V Magazine's Spring issue, I re-fell in love with her brazen ways. The singer recently performed in London; she took the stage wearing nothing but a satin blazer, fishnet stockings, leather gloves, and a disc on her head. Not many people can pull this off without looking crazy, but if anyone can, it's Grace. What do you think - freaky or fabulous?

Want an instant injection of fierce? Then you must get one of these Grace Jones Buttons ($3 each). A quickie lesson: She's a Jamaican-American singer, actress, and supermodel whose masculine appearance influenced the cross-dressing movement of the '80s. The image on the pin is from her 1981 album cover for Nightclubbing taken by Jean-Paul Goude. Twenty-five years later, the model and art director reunited on the set of V Magazine's Spring issue for which Jones is a cover girl. Viva, Grace!

Princes William and Harry joined a whole host of stars on the red carpet in London's Leicester Square last night for the Royal World Premiere of Quantum of Solace at the London Film Festival. Daniel Craig looked suitably suave alongside his partner, Satsuki Mitchell, and the famous females in attendance ignored the freezing weather and pulled out all the stops with their slinky outfits. Costars Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko went for bright jewel tones, with Judi Dench wearing the most striking accessory of the night on her back. Elle Macpherson shimmered in metallic pink and Grace Jones wore a typically crazy dress, while Lily Allen kept it simple in her LBD.

To see dozens more pictures from the premiere, including Elle Macpherson, Jack White, Karen Elson, Katherine Jenkins, Robbie Coltrane, Samantha Bond, Tamara Beckwith, Jenni Falconer, Judi Dench and Grace Jones, just read more.

Bella Donna: Grace Jones

BellaSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 14:00:58 -0700

At Rag & Bone's Fall 2008 show, crisp white button-downs were punctuated with skinny black ties, and Alexander Wang showed layers, knit hats and vests. The androgyny trend practically begins and ends with Grace Jones, the model-turned-musician whose signature flat top, glasses, amazing skin and wild getups (Keith Haring once painted her body and fitted her with armor) solidified her as one of the most iconic faces of the time.

Born in Spanish Town, Jamaica, Jones moved to Syracuse, New York and studied acting at Syracuse University. She soon ended up in New York City, where her 5'10" frame caught the attention of the fashion world. Jones began recording disco albums in the '70s and palling around with Andy Warhol. An early triple threat, Jones also acted in a number of movies, including Boomerang, in which she played a French model named Helen Strangé.

Whatever she has done, Jones has put forth an unconventional but undeniable ideal of beauty. Her makeup, usually bright colors in daring concentrations, has been inspirational, as has her extensive and continuing work with AIDS charities.

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 04:22:25 -0700

Singer, model and all-round music icon Grace Jones walked the red carpet last night at the Mobo's. While it's a little early for Halloween, Grace played dress-up in this intricate gold mask. A lace effect plus pussy cat ears made for maximum look-at-me impact.

I love her glam goth deep black eyes combined with dark red lips and glowing skin. What do you think of her beauty look?

Fab Cover: Grace Jones for Dazed and Confused

FabSugarUK — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 04:00:17 -0700

A new issue of Dazed and Confused is due to hit newstands across the country this weekend and this month the cover star is music legend Grace Jones. In collaboration with music video director Chris Cunningham the shoot is titled, 'The Devil Inside'.

Jones explains her understanding of the shoot, "It's not fashion, it's an anti-fashion shoot. He's shooting me like art."

Dazed and Confused's Creative Director Nicola Formichetti elaborates, "It's a collaboration between two of the most progressive and innovative artists of our time, again pushing the boundaries of perception."

The issue explores the fine line between art and fashion featuring the Canadian sculptor David Altmejd alongside a celebration of 20 years of Maison Martin Margiela.
