Music video

The video opens with a make-up team applying finishing touches to Sexy Star as the song begins, Star's first look of the video is seen as he sports a colourful blue wig with matching contact lenses, he poses and sings infront of a plain background, the video focusing solely on image. We then see Star's next look as he is seen with his usual and popular pink hair, he continues to pose as the camera zooms in on him closer, Hollywood is all about image! We now see Star in a room as the camera focuses on his third look of the video with his blonde wig and shades. Star is then seen lying on a sofa, next to his cousin, the pair appear to be naked and stare into the camera, they love attention. Butterscotch then appears in a cheerleading outfit along with a group of girls, she begins a new cheerleading type chant of her verse in the song along with the rest of the girls, they then go wild and drop their pom-poms as Butterscotch jumps into the air and does the splits. Star is back with his final image with a longer pink wig. Star goes through many looks in the video to highlight the image-obsessed lifestyles that many lead, more poses, the video ends by zooming in slowly into Star's eyes, zooming in so much that it all goes blurry and fades out.
