Grace Jones has never stopped being iconic.

During Paris Fashion Week, Jones hit the runway to cap off Zendaya's collection of new clothing at the Tommy Hilfiger X Zendaya TommyNow show on Saturday, looking incredible in a gold bodysuit and striped blazer.

Jones, who strutted to the tune of her 1981 hit "Pull Up To The Bumper," was just one of many in the lineup modeling clothes at the show. The models represented a wide array of body types and ages in a uniquely diverse showcase of fashion inspired by the '70s and early '80s.

Jones, who was born in Jamaica in the '40s, rose to fame in the '70s thanks to her success as a model and singer.

Her storied career only makes moments like this one that much better.

Jones wasn't the only 20th-century icon at the TommyNow show; she was joined by pioneering women including Pat Cleveland, Beverly Johnson, and Veronica Webb, each of whom made huge strides for black women in the fashion industry.

Kate Bush, The Dreaming : A Pitchfork Review

#KateBush # WutheringHeights # Lionheart # NeverforEver #TheDreaming In 1982, Kate Bush’s daring and dense fourth album marked her transformation into a fearless experimental artist who was legible, audibly very queer, and very obviously in love with pop music. In 1978, Kate Bush first hit the UK pop charts with “Wuthering Heights” off her romantic, ambitious progressive pop debut The Kick Inside. That same year, her more confident, somewhat disappointing follow-up Lionheart and 1980’s Never for Ever had a grip of charting singles that further grew her UK success without achieving mega-stardom—she barely cracked into American college rock. What is truly amazing between the first chapter of her career and the new one that began with 1982’s The Dreaming is how consistently Bush avoided the musical world around her, preferring to hone and blend her literary, film, and musical inspirations (Elton John, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd) into the idiosyncratic perfection that was 1985’s Ho
