VANÈS - Bad Girl Shy | Music Video of the Week

VANÈS “Bad Girl Shy” explores what happens when attraction becomes obsession. Directed by Salma Labib and featuring Almayra Shah from BBC’s "I Kissed a Girl", the video draws on the visual style of the early 2000s to tell a story of infidelity, desire and jealousy.

The cinematography gives the video a seductive quality, using glossy textures and intimate framing to bring the characters closer to the viewer. The visual style draws us in, but it is the complicated relationships between the characters that give the video its substance.
