Video Lust : Beyoncé's 'Countdown'


Despite the baby bump, Lust Icon Beyoncé manages to pull of all kinds of sexy for her video, "Countdown".

The video is heavily influenced by 60's pop art featuring Mrs. Carter in an all black ensemble that's an amazing mix of Audrey Hepburn and Michael Jackson. She tip-toes, twirls, and shakes among ballet style dancers [and a marching band] in scenes that remind me of the Gap commercials everyone used to go crazy over. Later she appears in dance studios reminiscent of Flashdance and Fame.

The always fashionable Knowles is also featured in brightly colored button-up blouses and leotards with vibrant nail lacquer and eye makeup [which I'm sure will find it's way onto all of her followers] with a Patricia Field sunhat. But, my favorite scene would have to be the sparkly minidress and retro bob [pictured above] which is rumored to be a reference to her Dreamgirls film.

Leave it to Beyoncé to switch it up and bring a breath of fresh air into the music video scene. Countdown with LuStylist to get the look and lust with your eyes below:
