A still from the video was uploaded, showing the duo dressed to the nines in very exciting Mugler attire: Miley Cyrus donned actual archival pieces; while for Campbell, it was the full-on current season. This whole fashion connection got a lot of recognition, with actress Laverne Cox remarking that she wanted to be “Muglerized” one day herself, and thus began some highly entertaining back-and-forth about the iconic house.
Unless already smashing in the scene, one imagines that this Kameron DePaul-directed video for OmiMedia is grabbing all the attention. A fan begged Campbell to put out an album, swearing the Billboard charts will pop up instantly if only she “poses to beats and motivates girls.” Others went ahead and called it “historic,” while still others complimented the women on their commanding presence in every frame.
Interestingly, others drew comparisons to Campbell’s previous music video appearance in Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl,” which further underlines just how much Campbell himself is a video icon. One adoring follower tagged her “music video queen,” while another exclaimed, “An icon that can’t be copied nor duplicated.”
Notably, enthusiasm extended from the fans to Kameron DePaul, who had to throw in his two cents to appreciate the entire “Being Naomi” camp for one of their favorite shoots. The fan page for Cyrus also took to the comments to remind everyone to watch the full video on YouTube.
Campbell’s caption hinted at how personally meaningful that kind of collaboration was for her, tagging it with #SomethingBeautiful and #EveryGirlYouveEverLoved. The video is purportedly much more than just another gig for the model, who so often uses her platform to uplift fellow women in the industry.
The comments section quickly turned into a mini-celebration of the Campbell’s-ever-lasting reign, with fans marveling about her eternal beauty and flair. One particularly poetic admirer called her ‘mysterious and captivating’ while noting a ‘contagious’ twinkle in her eyes that makes her truly ‘unforgettable.’
She jokes in the video transcript that music videos aren’t really her ‘day job,’ yet one can tell from the excitement she gleams when speaking of this collaboration with Cyrus, that she is more than willing to engage in creative projects that speak to her. The brief behind-the-scenes peek shows that she goes into these opportunities with laughter and gratitude, each one being ‘special’ with ‘their own meaning.’
