Two things happened on Monday (in no particular order): 1) The music video for Brandy's latest single, “Wildest Dreams,” premiered online and 2) Nicolas Ghesquière and Balenciaga announced their split after 15 years of what seemed like marital bliss. Assume these two bits are unconnected? Think again. Leave it to Brandy—still 'of Moesha fame' to us—to give Ghesquière (and one particular Fall '12 “Egyptofunk' tee, one of his final pop-music hurrahs. Throughout the vid, the singer sports his '80s-video-gamer 'Join A Weird Trip' shirt, paired with jean shorts and red knee-high boots. One of her better styled moments, IMHO.
BUT , Mo' isn't the only pop star who's donned Balenciaga in her vids. (We did a little research...) In 2003's “Slow,” Kylie Minogue writhes around on a beach towel in a barely-there draped navy minidress from Ghesquière's Spring '03 collection. And, not long after, in 2004's “Red Blooded Woman,” the Aussie songstress slipped into a blush crepe dress and yellow bra ensemble from Balenciaga Spring '04 to show the world her famed funk moves.
And finally, who can forget the hyperstyled K-Pop sensation 2NE1? The group wears several punk pieces—a quilted red leather vest [8] and houndstooth skirt—from Ghesquière's Spring '11 smash in their “Lonely' video. See below, and join us in saluting Ghesquière's work by rocking out to some of his best 'As Seen on [M]TV's:
(And of course, if you know of any other Balenciaga music-video cameos, let us know. PLEASE.)
