The premise of Justin Bieber’s new music video, for his newest single “Ghost,” is fairly simple. It's transferring, even: Bieber performs a grandson caring for his grieving grandmother, following the loss of life of his grandfather. But the way in which the video truly performs out—beginning with the truth that his grandmother is performed by none aside from Diane Keaton—is the place issues get fairly wacky. It's like a candy, if hallucinatory, Nancy Meyers film, solely as a substitute of sick kitchens there are unbelievable outfits.
Bieber stands on a seaside, in a Saint Laurent swimsuit. In a flashback, Bieber spends time with each of his grandparents, he in a classic striped rugby and Balenciaga denims, Keaton in her personal Comme des Garçons coat. Years after the funeral, Bieber, sporting his signature pearls, cheers Keaton up with armfuls of Gucci, which she wears whereas they take photographs and dance collectively at a candlelit bar earlier than returning house, the place Bieber supervises Keaton swiping on a courting app over a cheese plate and glasses of crimson wine. Together, they drive to Ventura Beach in a classic Corvette to throw his grandfather’s ashes into the ocean. Suffice to say: she's in a Gucci coat, and he is in a cocoa Aimé Leon Dore leather-based jacket.
Definitely not what you'd anticipate after we say “fashion-heavy music video,” but it surely solely is smart {that a} music video starring Keaton and Bieber, each model experts in their very own proper, would earn its personal Vogue writeup, outfit breakdown included. Keaton will get to put on all of her favourite issues—wide-brimmed hats, tinted glasses, massive ol’ belts—which is smart, as a result of apparently she introduced most of her personal garments to set. (She can also be, apparently, a longtime Belieber: “I like that boy,” she stated throughout an Ellen look in 2015, minutes earlier than the real-life Bieber popped out to shock her, in customary Ellen style.) Bieber, in the meantime, will get his Balenciaga second. We shed a tear or two. What’s to not like?
