Missy Elliott changed the landscape of Hip-Hop in the late nineties and early noughties with her new sound and eclectic style accompanied by a series of iconic music videos.
On Tuesday (February 6) the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer reminded old fans and introduced new ones to some of her most memorable visuals. Elliott upped the nostalgia factor by recreating her distinctive looks with the original fits she wore the first time around.
“I found all my ORIGINAL outfits I wore in some of my most ICONIC videos,” Missy revealed. “I decided to see what I would look like in these fits in the year 2024.”
The video montage features fits for five unforgettable videos going back nearly 30 years, including “The Rain” (1997), “Hot Boyz” (1999), “Sock it To Me” (!997) “Beep Me 911” (1998) and “Gossip Folks” (2002).
“I went back in time WOW,” Missy Elliott added in the caption. “Heavenly Father I thank you! I’ve come along way!”
Meanwhile, Missy Elliott fans can expect some new music videos as she has been back in the studio working with Timbaland. Last year, the super producer revealed they’ve been working on a new sound.
“We’ve got a lot of songs we’re gonna start recording soon,” he said in April 2023. “I know how Missy works: It’s got to be new and fun — or maybe not so much new as kind of underground, and everything is upbeat.”
Later this year, Timbo is set to join Missy Elliott in the Songwriters Hall of Fame at the 2024 Induction and Awards Gala on June 13.
