After much anticipation, Britney Spears finally premiered her video for "Hold It Against Me" last night, and it was as epic as we had imagined. When we weren't dancing our hearts out or analyzing the symbolism behind the video, we were oohing and ahhing over the various looks.
After all, from her school girl outfit in "...Baby One More Time" to her red body suit in "Oops!...I Did It Again," if anyone knows the meaning of an iconic look, it's Brit.
Her latest video, styled by B. Åkerlund (a.k.a. wife of "HIAM" director Jonas Åkerlund), had no shortage of noteworthy outfits, including a black dress by Bordelle worn during one of the dance sequences, and contrasting customized looks designed by B. Åkerlund for the fight scenes. One of our faves was the white wedding dress Britney wears while surrounded by monitors playing her classics.

B. Åkerlund worked with Tom Tom fashions to design the stunning gown, which features Swarovski crystals for the arm pieces. Åkerlund took the look to the next level by accessorizing with La Cracia gloves and a necklace by Dannijo.
Of course, by the end of the video the gorgeous dress is destroyed after Britney splatters it with paint (let's just say our hearts broke a little). Here's hoping they were able to salvage the magnificent piece by taking it to a dry cleaners right after!
