Update:
As of 12:00 PM, November 3, the “Looking Hot” video has been
removed from YouTube.
All official posts regarding the video and graphics have been taken down by management, too.
After a slight delay, No Doubt surprised us with the world premiere of the new “Looking Hot” music video. The video was filmed over two days at Veluzat Motion Picture Ranch Studios back on October 5-6. The video was directed by Melina Matsoukas (most notable for Rihanna’s “We Found Love” video recently) and costumed by Rob Zangardi. For all the fans wondering too, Gwen’s red dress is by Norma Kamali.

as a native I must say Im disappoined..
aesthetically pleasing. a little bummed gwen didnt rescue tony at the end after he freed her. symbolic? BAHAH
oh no kind of an exploitative theme
I think is the best thing they have made during this Era. seriously.
my favorite so far. 🙂 the wolf is cute! and what isn’t exploitative these days? lol
time for a little pow wow of my own if ya know what i mean! anytime anyplace we blaze!
what is gwen’s lipstick in this? it’s amazing. must. have. it.
Love it!!! Best music video so far in this era!!
pienso iguall…..no entiendo la letra 😛 … que tiene que ver con el video .. pero esta muy bueno 🙂
era respuesta del comentario de abajoooo me equivoque
Visually, ALWAYS very appealing. I just dont think the theme matched the song well.
I loved it so much, seriously so fun to watch. Gwen looked beautiful!
Love Adrian’s outfit! Who directed it?? Who is the designer of Gwen’s red dress? It’s amazing!
Oops, I was so excited I didn’t even read the description. My questions were answered there LOL
This video is f***ing brilliant. Easily one of my favourite videos by No Doubt. I hope it helps with the album sales. The deserve it.
AND I totally LOVE that red dress. So amazing!
The discussion in ONTD regarding cultural appropiation in this video is scathing. Not that I think the same though, didn’t Azealia banks do the same for her 1991 video?
i freakin’ love it. i love it. why are they all so effing COOL!?? and how pimp is tony?! the man crush lives on, hahahaa.
That is really culturally insensitive. Especially consideing the lyrics to the song. So bummed I wanted to share with everyone. This is a good read for all of you that don;t see why it is offensive http://nativeappropriations.blogspot.com/2012/10/so-you-wanna-be-indian-for-halloween.html
It probably would have been a better idea if Gwen and Tony played outlaws or something…
Correct myself…her Liquorice video…she did also play a Native American in some scenes.
I think the video is incredible, Gwen is absolutely beautiful, they all are. The setting is great, there are some beautiful shots, I don’t get why everyone is making such a cultural issue out of it? It just mimics some of the very successful Cowboy vs. Indian films to me, so why should No Doubt not be able to mimic it? It is very suited to today’s market, so I hope it becomes very successful!
yeah, I don’t get what all the fuss was about, it’s just a damn music video.
Anyway, the video and No Doubt looked great. 🙂
I’m a cowboy and I’m offended
wowo one of the best ND videos i love it
The “Settle Down” video was good, but this video is one of my favorites by them. Awesome.
although i hate the song, i love the video.
at least they’re not pulling a chris brown.
I am not offended, I am a native, I do not get why every one is so upset on youtube, its just spoofing those cowboys vs indian movies, they would get less hate if they used the song push and shove because the lyrics arent ” you think im looking hot” because Gwen was not acting slutty in the video, it was just the lyrics, that is why people are so offended
Some people just look for an excuse to be “offended” without seeing the artistic vision of the video. A fantastic tribute to the old western movies, the video is beautifully done. I’m Irish and if I got mad every time something portrayed “my people” as drunks and brawlers, I would be miserable. We have bigger problems in the world. Focus on how we can improve ourselves, our various cultures and rise above it. Life is to short to cry about cultural appropriation unless you are looking for things to complain about.
People need to lighten up.
jaja tenes razón!.
muy buena comparación
I knew this theme wouldn’t match the song….. Didn’t like it very much, and the ending is very abrupt! However Gwen is breathtakingly hot, shite!! Yeah, you’re looking f’n hot.
We’re sad to announce that No Doubt have removed the video from YouTube. We hope it’s back up soon or an explanation is given.
