You can’t call Grace Jones’ performance at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration anything less than spectacular. She sang “Slave to the Rhythm” while hula-hooping.

Amber Rose Channels Grace Jones

Kanye West posted this photo of girlfriend Amber Rose on his website, featuring the model recreating Grace Jones’ iconic photo from the cover of her album Island Life.
