Lizzo [1] might have teased [2] her "2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)" music video [3] in a somewhat simple wedding [4] dress with lace sleeves and a cutout back, but the "Special" singer [5] revealed a much more expressive wardrobe upon the featurette's debut [6] on Monday, August 15. Styled by Brett Alan Nelson [7] and co-directed by Lizzo [8] and Christian Breslauer [9], the video introduces the global pop star at her wedding ceremony in a completely different gown with poufy, half-mesh sleeves, cold shoulders, and a lace-trimmed neckline. But the wrap-effect skirt gets increasingly dramatic, giving way to a thigh-high slit.
Lizzo [10] plays up the detail with white stockings pulled over the knee and lug sole combat boots with three embellished buckles, a nod to her personal style [11], which almost always includes a touch of edge. While her bridal ensemble is finished with a tulle veil and ornate flower headband, her thick-rimmed cat-eye sunglasses bring a playful and retro twist. They compliment her bridesmaids' powder blue '60s-inspired shifts, accessorised with diamond choker necklaces and hairstyles big on volume.
While we see Lizzo [12] pick up a pair of fur-trimmed mules in her hotel room, she eventually ditches her wedding dress entirely, trading it in for a deconstructed silver chainmail set dripping in beads, rhinestones, and chains. These co-ords are complete with matching boots and finger-less gloves, making for a disco-era surprise at the reception, which feels like a happy celebration of self-love above all else. Fittingly, Lizzo's mesh briefs take the spotlight in the finale, which is perhaps a subtle nod to all her success launching her Yitty shapewear brand [13].
Ahead, watch the music video in full, and enjoy a breakdown of the key fashion moments.
