David Bowie’s gender bending new video co-stars Tilda Swinton, Andrej Pejic, Saskia de Brauw and Iselin Steiro

Leave it to David Bowie to, once again, redefine cool in less than six minutes. Ahead of his first new album in a decade, The Next Day, the Thin White Duke has released his latest single “The Stars (are out tonight)” along with an epically stylized new video which co-stars Tilda Swinton, Andrej Pejic, Saskia de Brauw and Iselin Steiro. The five, all masters of androgyny in their own right, play a twisted game of Twilight Zone-esque celebrity switcheroo during which Bowie and Swinton, a middle-aged “normal” couple get haunted and then transformed into their much slicker selves by Pejic and de Brauw who are younger, more glamorous, and gender bending-ly erotic. Steiro plays Bowie’s stylish conscience, watching through windows in slim high-waisted pants. Directed by Canadian filmmaker Floria Sigismondi, the six-minute mini movie is a visual feast, to say the least. Enjoy this taste of Bowie coolness. His album will surely offer even more when it drops on March 12.
