“SuperLove”

You know I had to start with “SuperLove.” While singing “SuperLove” down the streets of Tokyo in 2013, Charli wore a cute red-and-white striped dress in the MV that went perfectly with the song’s flirty lyrics.

“Break The Rules”

Charli’s schoolgirl look from 2014’s “Break The Rules” is one I could never forget. The singer looked cute wearing a simple white top and blue button-up mini skirt. She paired them with a delicate black ribbon choker.

“Breaking Up”

Charli’s 2014 “Breaking Up” music video involved the star kidnapping her ex-boyfriend and forcing him to confess to everything he did wrong in their relationship. She got sweet revenge while wearing a bold red dress and matching lipstick shade.

“Doing It”

Seeing Charli dressed up in a pink cowgirl outfit in her 2015 “Doing It” music video was everything I didn’t know I needed.

“Boys”

What is there to say that hasn’t already been said about “Boys”? Charli’s 2017 MV for the song is legendary for all the famous men (Joe Jonas! Charlie Puth! Riz Ahmed!) who star. Still, Charli stood out in a simple white button-dow, gold chains, and drawn-on mustache.

“1999”

Charli and Troye Sivan’s “1999” music video (from 2018) included a bunch of ‘90s references, suck as pop groups like Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys and movies like The Matrix and Titanic. Seeing Charlie as Rose and Sivan as Jack was absolutely everything.

Can you believe “Claws” was filmed entirely at home? The 2020 nostalgic video showed her dancing in various outfits in front of a green screen. One of her most memorable looks was her pink bralette paired with cargo pants, a chunky silver necklace, and dangling earrings.

“Good Ones”

According to Rolling Stone, Charli said in a press release that “Good Ones” is about “mourning” a breakup and embracing her “sinister” side. She brought her concept to life in her 2021 music video by dressing up in black lingerie while performing at a funeral.

“Every Rule”

Charli looked like a total goddess in her “Every Rule” music video, which dropped in March. I mean, she was literally glowing in that white blouse, and her light blue eyeshadow only accentuated her soft features.
