An outfit like this should wear a warning.
Halsey released the video for her new Britney Spears-inspired song, âLucky,â on Friday â" and along with sampling the track, the pop star also channels Spearsâ famous crystal-covered âToxicâ look in the Y2K-themed clip.
The 29-year-old âBad at Loveâ singer, who uses âshe/theyâ pronouns, shimmers in a sheer catsuit strikingly similar to Spearsâ in the video.
Halsey paid homage to Britney Spears in their new âLuckyâ video. Halsey/YouTube Britney Spears wore crystals all over her body in her 2004 âToxicâ video. Britney Spears/YouTube Halsey put their own spin on the look. Halsey/YouTubeWhile Spears actually had crystals glued onto her skin in 2004âs âToxicâ video, Halsey wore a nude body stocking covered in strategically placed stones.
Bedazzled panties and diamond jewelry added even more shine.
The âCloserâ singer wore their bright pink hair in a long, straight style pinned back with two era-appropriate hair clips.
Halseyâs âLuckyâ samples Spearsâ song of the same name. Halsey/YouTube Spearsâ âLuckyâ video was released in 2000. Britney Spears/YouTube Halsey rocked hot pink hair throughout the clip. Halsey/YouTubeHalsey also made plenty of other Y2K style references in the âLuckyâ video â" which samples Spearsâ 2000 track of the same name â" including a Gwen Stefani-inspired twisted updo and a denim micro-miniskirt teamed with an oversized belt.
Fans were loving the Spears references, like one who commented, âHalsey in her Britney era! Iâm here for it!! The iconic Toxic Crystal bodysuit!!â on Halseyâs Instagram post Wednesday.
âWait.., this is ICONIC! I just know this is going to be playing a great tribute to Brit. I hope she loves it too,â a second Instagram user wrote.
âThe day I found out Britney never wore a body suit and just had gems glued to her body was the day my brain broke,â another fan added.
The video includes plenty more era-appropriate ensembles. Halsey/YouTube The visuals and lyrics for âLuckyâ also address Halseyâs recent health struggles. Halsey/YouTubePer a press release, Spears, 42, heard the tune early in its production and gave Halsey her blessing to sample her song.
The âLuckyâ video and lyrics also reference Halseyâs battle with lupus and a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, along with her 2021 pregnancy.
âI shaved my head four times because I wanted to / And then I did it one more time âcause I got sick / And I thought I changed so much, nobody would noticed it, and no one did / And I left the doctorâs office full of tears / Became a single mom at my premiere / And I told everybody I was fine for a whole damn year / And thatâs the biggest lie of my career,â they sing.

While Halseyâs been keeping a relatively low profile amid their recent health struggles â" even sharing earlier this summer that theyâre âlucky to be aliveâ â" the starâs had a busy few weeks.
In late June, she attended the red carpet premiere of her movie âMaXXXineâ in a show-stopping gold sequined Bronx and Banco look.
And earlier this month, they sparked engagement rumors by showing off a new sparkler on their left hand while picnicking with boyfriend Avan Jogia.
