Released on July 6, Taeyeon’s disco-pop single Weekend is a song celebrating relaxed weekends where you can wake up at noon and do whatever you want. In the music video, Taeyeon is on an opulently furnished private plane, jet-setting to wherever her heart desires. Although taking off on a plane is a distant dream for most of us now, Taeyeon’s lighthearted summer single is a bop you can blast on your phone while enjoying your freedom! The music video’s retro fashions steal the show with four blinged-out outfits that transport you to a nostalgic time. These looks range from a glam pink tweed set for the office, a velour tracksuit that exudes Y2K energy, a preppy white get-up that takes inspiration from flight attendant uniforms, and a grand ball gown to end the weekend with a bang.
Outfit #1
The music video opens with Taeyeon working in the office when all of a sudden, everyone but the singer is dramatically frozen in time. Befitting her jewel-toned office filled with iconic iMac G3s, Taeyeon is dressed in a retro luxe outfit. She builds her get-up with a baby pink lace-trimmed camisole, which she pairs with a watermelon-pink tweed jacket and a matching mini pencil skirt adorned with rhinestone details. Taeyeon balances a classic tweed set with plenty of fun, glitzy accents. To extend the color scheme, she accessorizes with a single glittery rounded pink hair clip and pale pink chunky resin hoop earrings, both of which imbue the look with a dollish air. On her feet, the singer rocks a playful socks-and-heels combo with watermelon-pink crew socks and bold strappy red wedge sandals that complement her red lips. Taeyeon incorporates faux pearl layered chokers with a rhinestone centerpiece and long faux pearl layered necklaces to elevate the elegance of her tweed set, as well as more understated jewelry like a chunky white flower print ring and several small silver stud earrings. With an all-pink palette that radiates Legally Blond vibes (profesh but uber-girly and proud of it!), her overall ensemble is fresh and experimental. It’s a look to draw inspiration from if you’re feeling bored of your stuffy work wardrobe.
Outfit #2
In contrast to her put-together work outfit, Taeyeon enjoys her weekend in a look that’s more comfortable – but just as pink. She sports this outfit while partaking in a number of in-flight activities: savoring a slice of cheesecake and a cup of coffee, reading a book and dancing around with her portable cassette player in hand. The get-up comprises a baby pink velour short set and a white tube top with rhinestone lettering that spells “Juicy,” short for Juicy Couture, the it brand of the early 2000s. Taking a page from Y2K style icon Paris Hilton, Taeyeon completes her garb with some of the era’s must-have accessories: a patterned pink silk head scarf, a chained belt with dangling letter charms and a red Von Dutch bowler bag. Again, she adds several low-key jewelry pieces, such as gold-tone layered alloy necklaces, a chunky purple resin ring and layered ear cuffs. The singer dons two different pairs of shoes with her tracksuit. Taeyeon first wears rhinestone-adorned pointed pink heels while relaxing on the plane, and later swaps them out for block-heel knee-high white patent boots during her dance sequence.
Outfit #3
In addition to her pink tracksuit, Taeyeon also changes into an outfit that matches those of her backup dancers, who are dressed in flight attendant-inspired clothing. Their ensembles consist of navy-and-white striped long-sleeve tops tucked into white pleated knee-length A-line skirts, paired with red ballet flats. Taeyeon’s preppy and sophisticated all-white apparel is an upgraded version of their look, featuring a fitted open-placket cropped polo, a contrast-trim knee-length knit skirt, a scarf headband and block-heel double-strap Mary Janes. In keeping with the clean and crisp aesthetic, Taeyeon goes minimal with a simple rhinestone choker and a pair of timeless faux pearl drop earrings. However, she stays true to the MV’s quirky aesthetic by picking asymmetrical earrings – one is black and the other is white! While in this outfit, Taeyeon lounges amongst the clouds on a Barbie pink sunchair, reading a magazine and indulging in cotton candy.
Outfit #4
Taeyeon closes the music video with her grandest outfit of all. She rocks a dreamy sleeveless nude tulle midi dress with floral applique, and goes grocery shopping and scooter-riding in an empty shopping mall at night. The singer embellishes the look with elegant accessories like two black bow hair clips to hold back her loosely curled pigtails, a necklace with pale blue and clear beads, a silver heart-shaped signet ring and circular blue gemstone studs. Juxtaposing the refined glamor, Taeyeon selects tan lace-up biker boots for her footwear. While they match with the color of her dress, they free her up to enjoy the weekend in a way that high heels would never allow.
