Nothing could prepare us for the star-studded lineup at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert -- featuring Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Jessie J and more. But it was the electrifying performance by the one and only Grace Jones that really tickled our fancy!
The 64-year-old star literally hula hooped through the entire four minute performance (sans lip-syncing) of her 1985 hit song "Slave To the Rhythm." Singing the famous lines "never stop the action -- you better keep it up" -- Grace lived up to her lyrics. She never missed a beat, note or hip swing.
And in true Grace Jones style, the British icon wore a red and black PVC leotard with a floor-length bustle and topped it all off with a sky high headdress. Her glowing gams, yet another aspect to marvel at, were fabulously on display and a true testament of her age-defying awesomeness.
We are beyond impressed! Wait, do you hear that? It's Beyonce and Lady Gagarunning to their closest sports supply store to snag themselves a shiny new hula hoop.
Check out the hula-hooping hottie in the video above -- and a look at some of our favorite style moments from Grace in the slideshow below.
