Get Inspired by Supermodels (and Groupies) in Duran Duran's New Video

Over the course of their 30-year career, Duran Duran has had a long history of including models in their videos, so it just makes sense that they would continue on with the tradition.

Over the course of their 30-year career, Duran Duran has had a long history of including models in their videos, so it just makes sense that they would continue on with the tradition. For the band's just-released "Girl Panic!" short, supermodels including Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Eva Herzigova, Helena Christensen, and Yasmin Le Bon take a turn on the instruments. Sure, there's plenty of girl-on-girl action as a result, along with groupies galore, but there are also a ton of gorgeous, edgy beauty looks to inspire. From Naomi's sexy bedhead style to a covetable crimped ponytail (around the 5:04 mark) to a variety of must-have manicures, there's something here that will make an impression on you.

>> We've been behind the scenes; now, the original supermodel-filled Duran Duran "Girl Panic!" music video is finally out in full.

Directed by Jonas Akerlund — who also did Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" and "Telephone" music videos — the nearly 10-minute video features Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Yasmin Le Bon, Cindy Crawford, and Eva Herzigova playing different Duran Duran band members, with Campbell as frontman Simon Le Bon. Footage of the supers partying, doing a Harper's Bazaar UK magazine shoot, and talking with reporters fills the film, which also has cameos from Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

Behind-the-Scenes Snaps (and a Short Film!) From the Upcoming Supermodel-Filled Duran Duran Music Video Shoot

>> Five of the original supermodels — Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Yasmin Le Bon, Cindy Crawford, and Eva Herzigova — teamed up with Duran Duran in June to shoot the music video for the band's upcoming single, "Girl Panic!" . . . and the December 2011 issue of Harper's Bazaar UK has a first look.

As Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes explained of the project, "Harper's had approached us about collaborating with the magazine on something really special when the new album came out. I’d had this crazy idea for a video for the song 'Girl Panic!', that looked fantastic on paper, but that I thought in reality would be impossible to pull off. The idea was to re-create a day in the life of the band, with five of the world’s greatest supermodels playing all of us. Lucy [Yeomans, editor of Harper's Bazaar UK] loved the idea of doing a cover shoot within the video itself — and so it all began."

On the cover, the five supers wear black Dolce & Gabbana corsets — designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were also on set for the shoot — and then inside, transform into Duran Duran band members, with Campbell playing lead singer Simon Le Bon.

The "Girl Panic!" video, which was directed by Jonas Ackerlund — who also did Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" and "Telephone" music videos — is expected to be serialized virally online before premiering in whole later this year. See the first, below.

I Love Your ShopStyle: Ode to Rio

As we know, the '80s are back in a major way.

As we know, the '80s are back in a major way. ShopStyle user Pemberly decided to give an ode to Duran Duran's 1982 album, Rio, by creating outfits inspired by it. Right on. I can't decide which one I want to wear first. I love the black jumpsuit and white blazer, but those white slash jeans are calling my name. Each outfit hints '80s without going overboard. All together now, Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand . . .

FABTV: Duran Duran, "Hungry Like the Wolf"

What I never realized, that I now love, about Duran Duran, is that they were so worldly with their video repertoire.

What I never realized, that I now love, about Duran Duran, is that they were so worldly with their video repertoire. We've seen them in Rio being silly, and here they adventuring through Sri Lanka — in their totally tubular '80s getups (how hot is the oversize white blazer, no shirt, and white headscarf?). I also have a fond memory of dancing with some sexy talent to this song at a Halloween party one year. Speaking of sexy, who is the pretty jungle girl and the fiery woman in red? This video has it all: humor, adventure, and romance.
