Cindy spent the video topless in a bathtub covered in glycerin to make her look freshly steamed. While Naomi was styled to resemble a 1960's 'tough chic' for her dancing scene.
Evangalista and Christy were the only two who appeared in a scene together as each model lip synced the song.
She continued: 'The video had a dark humor. It was saying, If you have to be beautiful to sell music now, let's just put five beautiful faces in there. But when we were doing it, it was just, hey, this is going to be a really cool video.'
