This video may not be set in the jungle, well your typical jungle. There are scenes that look like they are on an African desert (actually the Mojave Desert). But, it's Wild factor is off the charts! And there are lions!
Mrs. Carter's "Run The World (Girls)" video is a choreographical (I just made that a word) and visual feast. Definitely a stand out in her music video career. Some compare it's military theme to "Rhythm Nation", which are some big shoes to fill.
Beyoncé certainly made the effort hiring 242 dancers! Who trained with eight choreographers! And it features Mozambican kwaito dance group Tofo Tofo which Beyoncé requested, after seeing them on YouTube, to teach her the intricate moves that are the first ones we see in the video.
How do you run the world in style? Start the video atop a black stallion (I'm talking about a horse here) in an all white Todd Lynn ensemble. Stand at attention with an Alexander McQueen clad army of girls (with a lion of course). Followed by striking a pose in a Jean Paul Gaultier couture gown. Perform some serious trendsetting dance moves in Norma Kamali fringe shorts and a gold Giuseppe Zanotti harness (the fringed heels are Alexander Wang, and is that shrug Gucci?). Take some oversized hyena's by the chain in Givenchy couture. March in the dirt in a Gareth Puth starlight gown and gold geometric heels adorned in Lariucci claw rings and earrings. Crawl around in the dust in a Norma Kamali cutout Aztec jumpsuit. And finally, face a SWAT team in two different Emilio Pucci gowns, one made of both silk and sequins (pair the yellow dress with black knee high Sergio Rossi gladiator boots). Phew! I don't know about you, but I'm sweating with designer lust. And I'm sure I missed a few.
Get wild with Beyoncé yourself in the video (below) and run the world!
