Teyana Taylor makes Pop Art makeup cool.
The opening scene reveals Teyana Taylor simultaneously wearing bantu knots and a bun along with a patent leather Fascinator, complete with hot pink lips outlined in black, dotted with white to recreate the Pop Art aesthetic. It's a sign of what's to come in the video—pink becoming one of the standout shades.
Missy wears pink-studded grillz
Grillz have seen varying levels of popularity over the past few years, but, clearly, the trend is back. Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot pairs the studded grill with pink-purple lips—and the combo is drool-worthy.
Monochrome makeup gets redefined
Missy takes monochrome to a new level in this video, matching the dancers' makeup to the background, and their outfits too.
She reminds us that she's literally everything
The hair! The eye makeup! The nails!
Wigs literally get snatched.
At one point in the video, wigs literally fly off of the dancers' heads, and it's like the moment was tailor-made for Black Twitter GIFs and memes.
She has braids so long you can Double Dutch with them
And they're multicolored too.
