Nearly 20 years after "Clueless" hit theaters, Iggy Azalea pays homage and brings a new attitude to the 1995 cult classic in the throwback video for "Fancy," co-starring British alt-pop songbird Charli XCX with the bragging on the rowdy hook. The Aussie rap queen rules the halls of Beverly Hills High School as socialite Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone) in the X-directed clip. The blonde bombshell went back into the memory vaults and filmed at the same high school where "Clueless" was shot, inviting 250 fans to be a part of the video.
Azalea rocked a '90s wardrobe straight out of Cher's designer closet and even shut down the freeway while recreating one scene. This is the best thing ever! We are just so behind this, we can't even tell you. Naturally, Azalea is our Cher and she brought Charli XCX along with her to sing the chorus and stand in for Tai. Not only do we get the opening debate scene, but snippets of tennis practice, the party, and the hallway cell-phone strut. Azalea and co. even went through the trouble of recreating the freeway scene, complete with swerving Mac trucks. That's dedication and it works like gangbusters.
This bouncy hip-pop song itself, is all about the high-flash, high-glam, high-cost lifestyle, finds Azalea letting the world know why she's the hottest female rapper in the game over a stripped back production driven by a retro-induced synth. The song was premiered on Mistajam's BBC Radio 1Xtra show on February 6 and released as the fourth single from Azalea’s long-awaited solo debut, "The New Classic," is due out on April 15 featuring collaborations with T.I., Mavado, Watch the Duck, and Katy Perry, who co-wrote her next single. The Aussie rapper makes a case for why she's "The New Classic."
The clip is basically a throwback to that absolute '90s teen blockbuster 'Clueless,' and takes us all the way back to 1995, when Alicia Silverstone was just a valley girl with a heart of gold. But Azalea, isn't some ditzy blonde, instead she's making it clear she's a girl with some expensive taste, and exudes confident sex appeal, flipping her golden locks relentlessly and shaking it in her pleated skirt. But all Azalea really wants is to solidify her fancy status. The fun, high school party scene takes the video to a whole new level, thanks to some red cups, cute choreo and classic teenage debauchery. It's clear that Azalea is working harder than ever and making a play to become Queen Bee of female MCs.
