A similar colour palette inspiration was obtained from the 1982 film Blade Runner, only darker in tone. Azalea was also fond of the film'southward combination of throwback hair styles and makeup with modernistic way; "it all created this kind of futuristic, throwback feel I wanted. I wanted some futuristic, throwback strippers".[86] Azalea has a full of nine wardrobe changes in the video.[89] She and T.I.'s wardrobe were coordinated by Alejandra Hernandez, and consisted of designs by Brioni, Giorgio Armani, Moschino, Patricia Field and Tom Ford.[89] [xc] Upon the video's completion, Azalea felt confident in its rewatching value; "I think a great thing about a video is when there's so many things happening in it that you didn't get process all the information [and] want to watch information technology once again".[12]
