Beth Ditto, Gossip

We actually didn't think it was possible to love Beth Ditto any more than we already do, but leave it to the Gossip frontwoman to go and actually make our heads EXPLODE in the band's ridiculously awesome new music video. The singer is no stranger to crazy-cool fashion choices- who else can perform barefoot in a sequined dress and still be the glammest person in the room?- but we've got to admit, she's outdone even herself this time around. Set on a bare boned soundstage with song lyrics splashed across the walls and the floors, the tricolored "Move In The Right Direction" vid is pure get-up-and-dance Gossip fun. Ditto's rocking out front and center in three different outfits, a belted black minidress- a red bodycon number, and a red and black striped frock- but it's her bedazzled brows that really steal the show.

It's crazy to think it's been almost a year since we first told you about Karl Lagerfeld and Snoop Dogg's forthcoming music video, but now the day has finally come- and trust us when we say it's 100% worth the wait. Tapped by Europop star Jean-Roch, the oddest couple ever lends their swag to his latest single, which is a musical ode to the luxe beach town of St. Tropez (yep, it's all as ridiculous as it sounds..) The video for the eponymous track rolls out with grand movie-style opening credits, before settling above the clouds where the white-suited Kaiser meets up with Jean-Roch and informs him that heaven's not the only version of paradise. Spoiler alert: St. Tropez is, too. That's when the vid quickly cuts back to Earth, where Snoop's holding things down by the water in his signature pigtails and ready to fist-pump up a storm.

A$AP Rocky

Yesterday morning, A$AP Rocky revealed his (NSFW) "Goldie" music video. In it, the Harlem rapper rides through the streets of Paris with the Eiffel Tower as his backdrop, lights gold laceless Margiela sneakers on fire, and stunts a lot of very, very expensive jewelry. When we caught wind that A$AP was working with Alexander Wang on the video, we immediately hit the rapper up on the "Goldie" set (the portion not filmed in the City of Lights #sadface) to talk about his video style. In our exclusive video interview, A$AP discusses meeting and working with Alexander Wang, developing the wardrobe without a designated stylist, and his thoughts on his own personal steez. Check it out after the jump!

OH MUH GAHHHHHHH! Please hold while we let out the BIGGEST squeal-meets-exhale full-bodied explosion of relief because Justin Bieber has finally (FINALLY!!!!) released his music video for "Boyfriend". Yes, Stylettes, after about a BAZILLION teasers and sneak peeks, we're actually permitted to watch the full-length premier video from The Biebs' sophomore album, Believe. While the video has a considerably different tone than what we were led to believe from his preview clips (also, HEY where was the fire from the second teaser?!?!!) and comparisons to *NSYNC's "Girlfriend" short aside, we still really love it. PLUS, there's just enough fun fashion to satiate our thrist for music video style. Walk with us as we dissect the video look by look!

Willow Smith

Since Willow Smith burst onto the music scene with her impossibly catchy "Whip My Hair" single, spitfire personality, and undeniable fashion prowess, we knew we'd be glued to the girl's every move. Since then, the cutie patootie superstar spawn for Will and Jada has dabbled in street fighter inspired looks, buzzed off all her hair, and even tried a more subdued look (one time). But even before all this, before she exploded into a full-fledged style icon at the tender age of 11, Willow was sashay shante-ing up and down the streets of NYC and Paris in the most covetable of ensembles.

Rihanna, Kabuki

With Rihanna uploading teaser after teaser for this "Where Have You Been" video, we knew the mounting anticipation could only mean that this thing was going to be MAY-JOR. When we caught wind that sickeningly talented makeup artist/current Artistic Director for Myface Cosmetics/skilled illustrator Kabuki (who BTW has artfully painted the faces of such mega-watt stars as Michael Jackson, Madonna, and of course, that face-melting beauty magnum opus that was Katy Perry's "E.T." music video) worked on the vid, we knew our suspicions had to be correct. Also, that we needed to sit Kabuki down for a chinwag immediately. We picked the legend's brain, and along with hooking us up with a GRIP of gorgeous hand-drawn Rihannas, he obliged us with juicy details about the entire video process, Ri's creative input, and just how he got those gold sparkles all over her face.

Rihanna is a certifiable master of the unlock. Along with her earworm-y hit records, the strategic foresight to allow and prepare multiple Internet Easter eggs on top of creating music videos, ad campaigns, and just having fun on vacation has helped Ri become one of the music community's most influential players. She's keeping up the slow reveal tactic for her upcoming video "Where Have You Been" and her latest offering is a double dose of behind-the-scenes footage: one of her wardrobe fitting and one on the set of the shoot.

No other pop star in recent years has made jackets such a statement staple quite like Justin Bieber. From leather moto silhouettes to snack-hiding mega-cowl neck styles, Bieber switches them up faster than Willow Smith changes her hair, each iteration more covetable than the next. Naturally, Le Biebs is rocking a sweet jacket for his newest music video, "Boyfriend," and being the fashion vultures that we are, we HAD to find out where he copped it.

Rihanna has been busy teasing new video "Where Have You Been" for a little over a week with preview photos on Facebook, behind-the-scenes rehearsal videos and more. While we can't infer too much from these sneak peeks while we wait for the full-length video, it looks as though the actual garmentry will take a backseat in favor of statement accessories.

Iggy Azalea Ssense

Here at MTV Style, we go particularly crazy for music video fashion. There's something about a killer song paired with couture duds that really puts us over the edge, and today marks a HUGE moment in fash-music history. Montreal-based boutique SSENSE teamed up with Iggy Azalea, Diplo and FKi to create the first-ever shoppable music video for their song "I Think She Ready." So basically, if you're really feelin' Iggy rapping in her '80s art deco hoops and neon pink blazer, you can buy her look RIGHT then and there. Nuts. The video uses *cue nasally voice* interactive hotspot technology, which users can click to take them directly to SSENSE and purchase the item. Score! The "I Think She Ready" video was styled entirely by the SSENSE team and features pieces from designers like Givenchy, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Rick Owens, and Preen. The video premieres today at noon, but we got our hands on some stills so we can pick out our favorite pieces before the video goes live. See? We gotchu. Check out some of the looks below, and don't forget to hit up SSENSE.com at 12 p.m. EST to watch the full video (and buy everythaaang).
