Weeks later, Jay Z and Beyoncé's "RUN" music video #wellactually, fake trailer, #wellactually tour promo is still generating buzz. The clip takes the Bonnie & Clyde beautiful romance themes of the couple's "Part II (On the Run)" and blows them up to feature-sized epic rom-crime proportions, with several set pieces that could definitely provide the basis for a real movie.
It's those set pieces, which are meant to convey the illusion of a full-length movie that open the door for the visual's two most talked-about features: endless A-list cameos and imminently eye-catching styles. Simply put, you've never quite seen Jay and B stunt so hard in either of their respective videos the way they compliment each other and kill the competition here.
Billboard talked to Rob Zangardi, who along with styling partner Mariel Haenn (with help from longtime Jay Z stylist June Ambrose), created a handful of looks for music's royal outlaws. The conversation sheds light on how the looks relate to the clip's theme, but most interestingly, reveal that this whole production came together rather fast.
Can you walk us through some of the looks and why their diversity was so important in this love story?
