We really wanted it to feel Space Age and not too out-of-control sex pot, which I think added with the flared leg and the mock turtleneck. "Doing it in spandex or anything else didn't give the same effect that latex did. But it was what she really thought would be the best look for ," recalls Stanley. She got really overheated when she would have to dance because something like that really traps heat in. "That was the most intense part, keeping her cooled down. "I knew that that would be really hard for her because, obviously, latex holds in all of your sweat." After the first take, Stanley remembers unzipping Spears' jumpsuit and "literally a bucket of water poured out of it." Okay, so this may look a bit weird on my page.a Britney Spears release in amongst a lot of releases for rock bands But im a person that will TRY anything in music, even if its something i perceive to be rubbish before ive heard it - just so that my rating and review is justified. "This jumpsuit made me very nervous because it was latex and I knew how much she had to dance," stylist Estee Stanley tells NYLON over the phone. One's plans of having this gorgeous outfit all put together, which really had some style, I felt, were just chucked out the window and we went with a rubber suit basically." Plus, the black shoes that finished her look happened to be what she wore to set that day, since the original (red) pair was rejected. "The night before the shoot, I was informed that Britney had hired a guy who did wardrobe for Michael Jackson to come up with a suit that she was going to wear on the day," says director Nigel Dick. According to Bustle, the red outfit was one of Spears' top requests for "Oops… I Did It Again." Miley Cyrus even wore her own homage to the catsuit for her "Mother's Daughter" music video in 2019. The iconic ensemble has become a pop culture staple, referenced at Halloween for the past two decades and quite possibly one of the most recognizable looks from a time when music videos were at their peak in the early aughts. The then-19-year-old pop star was gearing up to drop her sophomore album, an edgier follow up to her debut release ".Baby One More Time." To solidify this new era, the video for her first single - one that would top the Billboard charts and garner its own Grammy nomination - was a risky rendition of a space-age romance between an all-American astronaut and Spears as a Mars-based alien vixen with a penchant for red latex jumpsuits. It was exactly 20 years ago to this day (April 10) when MTV's Making The Video aired a behind-the-scenes episode on filming Britney Spears' "Oops… I Did It Again" music video.
