It's sort-of amazing that it hasn't been done before. If ever there was an artist worthy of a high-fashion makeover it was Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Sure, she's always been perfectly turned out, but in a classier-end-of-the-high-street sort of way rather than in the unattainable, perfectly groomed manner in which she appears in her new video for 'Not Giving Up On Love'.
Going high-fashion works because basically, Sophie Ellis-Bextor isn't your friend. She's not one of us, she's a popstar and even if she's floundered somewhat over the past couple of years, she's always had that star quality now that makes her aloof and better than us plebs. If we want high-street we've got the likes of The Saturdays to aim for.
Here is a pop music video in which she probably looks the best she has ever looked throughout an entire career of looking lovely.
And, lets be honest, the song is pretty damn wonderful as well. It may not be quite in the same league as her Spiller collaboration, 'Groovejet', but from the piano intro to the epic, 4am in the morning crescendo, 'Not Giving Up Love' brims with more personality and more 'Sophie' than an entire album of Freemasons collaborations.
