# Pants-Free Boomer Performances Grace Jones Mirrors Lady GaGa Look at 61 By Elsa Blaine | Published 2009-08-02 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grace-jones-hurricane-hammerstein References: [festivalwise](http://www.festivalwise.com/article.php?id=51906&image=2#gallery) 61-year-old Grace Jones mirrored Lady GaGa’s pants-free look during her performance last week in New York City. Her ‘Hurricane’ show epitomized the flamboyant singer’s style with wild costumes and fabulous headpieces. She rocked a hot zebra-striped catsuit with a white-haired feather-inspired headpiece, danced with a half-mannequin and more than once the 60s icon bared her backside for the crowd at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Jones wore a colorful African-inspired beaded and banded mini dress sans briefs and then a fierce, backless fiery red gown. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Aging Gracefully:** The trend of older performers embracing unconventional fashion choices and pushing boundaries in their performances, presenting opportunities for disruptive innovation in the fashion and entertainment industries. - **Body Positivity:** The trend of performers, regardless of age, celebrating and accepting their bodies through confident and bold fashion choices, creating opportunities for disruptive innovation in the fashion and body-positive industries. - **Blurring Gender Norms:** The trend of performers challenging traditional gender expectations by wearing provocative and gender-fluid outfits, opening up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the fashion and LGBTQ+ industries. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend by designing inclusive and boundary-pushing collections that cater to performers of all ages and body types. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore opportunities to create inclusive and diverse performances that showcase performers breaking societal norms and embracing their individuality. - **Body-positive:** The body-positive industry can leverage the trend to promote self-acceptance and confidence at any age, encouraging individuals to embrace their unique style and expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cross-Cultural Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models.md) - [Defiant Hair Color Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aging-disgracefully-collection.md) - [Peace-Resembling Dress Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-dress.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Intergenerational Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25.md) - [Senior Cabaret Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-of-chichester.md) - [Archive-Inspired Retro Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-collection.md)
