Music video[]

The music video was directed by Martin Kahan and premiered in September 1985.

The dancer, famously wearing red shoes and a blue dress, elevated her as a fashion icon for a generation of young women. Among whom was none other than a young Christina Moss.

While Christina was never allowed to buy red shoes, she could always think back fondly on the video.
