There are entrances, and then there is Grace Jones being gracefully carried by security while wearing a sculptural Philip Treacy hat as though the entire operation had been choreographed by the fashion gods.
Miss Jones performed at Palace Bowl Presents at London’s historic Crystal Palace Bowl on Friday, July 31, 2026. The concert also featured Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Soul II Soul.

The moment shared by Treacy captures Jones being carried by security while remaining completely composed. Naturally, she does not look inconvenienced, rushed or remotely ordinary. She looks regal, controlled and ready for her close-up—because even crowd navigation becomes performance art when Grace Jones is involved.
Her connection with Treacy’s fantastical headwear has always made perfect sense. His hats reject the idea that an accessory should quietly complete an outfit; Jones rejects the idea that a performer should quietly do anything. Together, they turn the human silhouette into architecture.
