Miley Cyrus Guest Stars In Pharell's 'Come Get It Bae' Video
. And so, for "Come Get It Bae," we get a message from the women's movement: the personal is political. Whether you buy into the Dove commercials, finding unseen beauty in women, or not, that is the same concept Pharrell and director Luis Cervero (Justice, Battles) are tapping into for this video's concept. It's a powerful message the endorse the attractiveness and sexuality of women of varied ages, colors and sizes. "The personal is political" tapes into a key component of the '60s women's liberation movement, where women began talking out loud to each other about their feelings of repression and it helped them realize they weren't isolated problems but part of a movement. Today a huge part of "the personal is political" is women talking to other women about the male gaze, aging and beauty standards. It's a laudable conversation to kickstart with the platform of a Pharrell video, but the message is a little off when the people starting that conversation are two men. Thus, the Miley Cyrus featured spot is an absolute must for this video. Inserting not only an excellent singer but also a young woman who has taken it on herself to challenge the public very vocally and repeatedly about why beauty standards exist for pop stars, pointing out the absurdity of them with her own absurd sartorial take, takes "Come Get it Bae" to another level.
