Grace Jones-inspired shoots are nothing new, but rarely have we seen one that nails it as well as this spread from Galore's latest issue.

Shot by Elias Tahan and styled by Kyle Edward, the shoot features model Jodie Smith ie Grace Jones incarnate in looks inspired by some of the singer's most iconic outfits and poses.

The mag announced today that David Beckham will cover the July issue, which will celebrate London hosting the 2012 Olympics. "David Beckham is a national hero, so we saw an opportunity to shoot a celebratory cover to support an historical and patriotic year," Elle UK's Editor-in-Chief Lorraine Candy said.
