It's finally here, the moment you've all been waiting for! Yes, we're talking about the VMAs, DUH, but also the mega-gigantic-MASSIVENESS that is the brand spankin' new "Fly" video from one of our biggest style crushes, Nicki Minaj, featuring our other style superstar fave, Rihanna. Is your fash-brain exploding as much ours is right now?! We get TWO STYLE-SLAYING SUPERSTARS for the price of ONE video! And the amount of unprecedented fashhhhhh-ON and rapid-fire costume changes is SO INSANELY AMAZING in this vid, that we really don't have enough words to describe it (but that's mostly because our mouths are still agape and our eyeballs are blurred by what is, truly, a MONUMENTAL STYLE MOMENT in MODERN MUSIC VIDEO HISTORY. No joke.)

No doubt you Little Monsters have already nailed the "watch it, learn the dance, load the video to YouTube, repeat" routine on Lady Gaga's music video for "'Yoü And I," which has shown up scattered like a trillion Easter eggs all over the interwebz over the past 48 hours. You've probably already gone and pored over all the envy-making FASHUN rampant in every frame.

You were all, "Where can I get a pair of those heels? Or that hat? Or ZOINKS, is that the custom leather HARNESS I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR?!??" Well, great news for you. Not only do we have aaaaall the fashion credits (thanks to Gaga fashion director Nicola Formichetti), but we've nabbed an EXTENSIVE, super exclusive interview and studio tour with Gaga's leather designer Zana Bayne, courtesy of our main man, Rory Rockmore.

Soooooooooooooooo, last Saturday I had the pleasure of sitting down with one of the baddest bitches in leather, Miss Zana Bayne, creator and HBIC of Zana Bayne Leather. Who is Zana Bayne?

Every Look From Oh Land's 'White Nights' Music Video, PLUS Exclusive Stylist Interview

Posted 8/17/11 9:28 am EST by MTV Style in Interviews, Ladies, Music Videos

It's very rare that you uncover such a gem of a video, so rife with shiny, sparkly fashion goodness as Oh Land's "White Nights". The video follows Nanna (dudes, check this out, Oh Land's government name is SO awesome: Nanna Øland Fabricius) through a two-sided dream world with dancing bespandexed droids and singing glitter-faced merpeople through which she dances (literally: interpretive, ballet, tap, EVERYTHING!) from scene to scene. I mean, it's bad enough she's a dead ringer for a young Claudia Schiffer and sweet as pie, but that the girl gets to be shrouded in all that achingly cute garb? We almost can't deal.

From the initial close-up of the amazeballs two-finger city space ring to the closing shots of her traipsing about in a white maxi shift with a matching full feather headdress, our hungry eyeballs were all, "OMNOMNOM, gimme more!" When met with such a gut-wrenching pang, the next logical step for us here at MTV Style is to get the video's stylist on the horn STAT (see our Look By Look of Beyoncé's "Run The World (Girls)" video for another example). Thankfully for us, Oh Land's stylist and the genius behind all the dreamy indie looks, Jessica Bobince, gave us an EXCLUSIVE interview, obliging our bajillion questions about every colorway, fabric, and silhouette of the video.

Posted 8/12/11 3:01 pm EST by Mary H.K. Choi in Music Videos

How bonkers is the "Otis" video? Could Jay-Z and Kanye West appear to be having more fun? The gorgeous sky, the saturated Old Glory backdrop, the overhauled Maybach, the leggy models, the Balmain—EVERY frame seizes you by the guts and BREAKS YOUR FACE with jaw-clenching envy because there is just so much to want. Namely, hi, um, Jay-Z, sir, are you wearing a python overlain, lambskin Yankees snapback with a GOLD buckle?

We, like anyone who feeds and eats the internet all day long, know that the limited-edition $400 JUST DON x Mitchell & Ness hats sold out instantly since Monday's on-sale date, but we talked to Kanye West cohort, G.O.O.D. music A&R, founder of the boutique R.S.V.P. Gallery, and the brains behind the eponymous JUST DON, Don C, to get all the deets on Jay's hat and even discovered when they'll next be made available (!!!!).

Man, I would be drunk with POWER if I were either Jay-Z or Kanye West, aka The Throne. Never mind that in Jay's case you've got the baddest bitch in the game wearing your chain, and that in Kanye's case you're neck vein-deep in gorgeous models and socialites, you've also got unfettered access to all the BAMILLIONKERBILLION dollars that you've stockpiled as respective commerce magicians. But all that means to us is the math of SO. MUCH. AWESOME. FASHION.

One of our favorite new MTV web series has debuted, and it's headed up by the super-cool music junkie Shirley Braha at MTV Hive. "Weird Vibes", explains Shirley, is "an indie music video show. With indie artists. And music videos. And fun will be had."

Here’s a little secret: Indie songstresses have some of THEE best style around. Hands-down. We freak out at Coachella, fawn over Pitchfork, and get giddy at Lollapalooza because these ladies don’t have stylists, they have weird vibes. Here’s what we learned in the first show.

Watch The Best Coast 'Our Deal' Extended Supervideo

Posted 8/9/11 10:00 am EST by Mary H.K. Choi in Music Videos, Supervideo

Best Coast's Bethanny and Drew Barrymore roll dice.

Remember last week? Whoa, do you remember last week? I maybe do not. Anyway, remember when you were neck-vein deep in all of our glorious Supervideo footage? And you were all, "Whaaa? A Drew Barrymore-directed Best Coast music video for that hauntingly tantalizing summerjam 'Our Deal'? Sweet, this rules. I am SO thankful (yeah, this is STILL you talking, you're also SO longwinded) these people made this for me and my face holes because it feels good and all these pretty, pretty people like Chloë Moretz and Tyler Posey are all googly-eyed and lovestruck and hugging all up on each other in fantastic jackets, which is just pleasant as experiences go."

And then, you turned on us, instantly ungrateful: While three minutes and change PLUS a bonus feature of the fashion closet AND another interview with the stylist Alicia Lombardini was cool, maybe you wanted more? Say, seven minutes more (boy am I ever GOOD at math!)? Well, it seems that your surly, squeaky wheelishness gets some good oil because we've got the EXTENDED supervideo for you today. Here it is. Motorboat it. Actually don't because these darling actors are sorta on the young side and you're being gross. Be cool, man. BE. COOL.

We know, we know, you CANNOT POSSIBLY be expected to keep your wits about you while we bust a DELUGE of Drew Barrymore x Best Coast 'Our Deal' Supervideo magic at you bubububuWAIT it gets MORE INTENSE. As we mentioned earlier, a big part of what makes this technicolor, multi-generational, mercilessly beautiful vision so engrossing is how involved the costume designer, Alicia Lombardini, was in the ideation of the final look. Director Drew Barrymore's aesthetic was peripatetic and SPRAWLING but the impressive part is how seamlessly the elements flowed together.

First of all, all the characters from Tyler Posey to Chloë Moretz and Donald Glover to Miranda Cosgrove, and even Bethany "Best Coast" Cosentino's cameo displayed a convincing, cohesive outfit. Once you've suspended disbelief that any warring squads could be SO ATTRACTIVE and well dressed, you can completely imagine each person selecting their respective ensembles as they go into battle.

OK, it's such a MAMMOTH COSMIC JOKE that I'm paid money to do this job sometimes. Like, to where I called my mom JUST to tell her I have a "business trip" that involves Drew Barrymore and that I "can't talk right now" because I'm "on location." ANYWAY, MTV Style's MEGA excited because finally, after many, many moons of waiting and hand-wringing and NOT BEING ABLE TO DIVULGE IN DETAIL about our next Supervideo, it is here. And ain't she a beaut (totally rhetorical question obvs)? For your eyeballing pleasure, we present the Drew Barrymore-directed video with Best Coast for "Our Deal." It's like Romeo & Juliet, where the Capulets are this gang called The Night Creepers and the Montagues are The Day Trotters. Holy swoon.

Sneak Peek: Best Coast Supervideo With Drew Barrymore, Miranda Cosgrove, Chloe Moretz, And More!

Posted 7/28/11 11:14 am EST by Mary H.K. Choi in Music Videos, Supervideo

Miranda Cosgrove and Chloë Moretz looking badass.

Have you ever met Drew Barrymore? It is basically the best thing ever. There's this odd halo around her head, and when she smiles with her eyes it's like a punch in the face. It. Is. So. Amazing. Essentially she is a goddess but that's beside the point. Entirely. She's also CUHRAZY talented as a director, and I had the fortune of being on-set for this Supervideo between Drew and one her favorite artists, Best Coast, for her song "Our Deal."

There were old-school Adidas galore, gobs of donated Levi's, leather jackets with hand-sewn patches, ENORMOUS hair, racks upon racks of the dreamiest sweaters and onesies, and there was even this embroidered HAWK on a crewneck cropped sweatshirt that made my face melt (don't worry, I held it far enough away that I didn't get any flesh juice on it). It was an awesome two-day shoot, craft services had at least six or eight types of candy, and by the way, no big deal, *shrugs unconvincingly* but Donald Glover, Miranda Cosgrove, Alia Shawkat, Chloë Moretz AND TYLER POSEY aka Gorgeousface McNomnompants from our own Teen Wolf were there.

Here's a sneak peek of the Romeo & Juliet-themed video. The "families" were called the Day Trotters and the Night Crawlers. There are brawls and breakdancers and graffiti. It was like a birthday party. Check it. OH, PS: Drew Barrymore's creative director is maybe the most handsome man in the world. He literally (and I hate when people use "literally" incorrectly) has the best hair. It is a water-colored dream sequence of AWESOME. Harps play when it moves. LITERALLY. ahhaha jk jk jk.

Tyler Posey is attractive.
