This video embodies all that was great about late '90s fashion--baggy outerwear paired with tight tops and as many ponytails as you could fit on the top of your head without looking ridiculous.

It's Martin meets Love is a Drug meets Boyz-- a bright, crayola box of a video styled with clothes your mother would never let you out of the house wearing. And it's flawless.
3. Runaway - (2010)
We've arrived in Kanye-heaven folks which, for some reason, is full of ballerinas and enough white linen to set a Thanksgiving table. Mr. West looks divine here, in a tan suit jacket and black bow-tie dressed down with denim jeans. There isn't a bad looking person in sight.
4. I've Seen that Face Before - (1981)
It's Grace Jones. Enough said.
5. How Many Ways? - (1992)
Here is Elizabeth Barrett Browning's sonnet set to an R&B groove. Toni Braxton looks adorable with her pixie cut tucked under an assortment of baseball caps. Also, check out Shemar Moore. He's ripped. How many ways can this video look great?
6. On to the Next One - (2009)
Nobody wears a jacket quite like Jay-Z. The quilted one here, paired with leather gloves and his signature sunglasses, nearly drips swagoo. Yeah, I said it.
7. Tightrope - (2010)
In 'Tightrope,' Janelle Monae's suit is tailored within an inch of its life and her hair, deliciously pompadoured. Watching this video always makes me want to shout out a whole bunch of adjectives. Her style is just so wonderfully James Brown/Marlene Dietrich-esque.
8. Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) - (2008)
9. Make it Happen - (1991)
Mariah Carey shows us how jeans should be worn -- tight and belted (and preferably on-stage).
10. Real Love - (1992)
Fact: If you did not dress like Mary J. Blige in the '90s, you were not cool. And if you can't appreciate the baseball cap/nose ring combo here, you may not be cool today either, tbh. ;-)
