In her latest creative transformation, Margaret Qualley slips into something vintage—literally. Under her glitter-soaked alter ego, Lace Manhattan, the actress and newly minted musician dropped her dreamy music video “ODDWADD,” and the fashion is pure Y2K fever dream. Among the standout visuals? Archival Victoria’s Secret babydoll dresses, styled with an irreverent, bedroom-pop sensibility that feels both ironic and deeply nostalgic.
The black and white video features co-star Talia Ryder (using her own alter ego, Dixie Normus), who also directed the video. The two dance across an empty stage to the track’s techno beat, produced by Qualley’s husband, Jack Antonoff, captivating us with every move.
The song will be featured in Qualley’s upcoming film “Honey Don’t!” directed by Ethan Coen, hitting theaters on August 22nd. The 1970s-set detective comedy gives us Qualley as private investigator Honey O’Donahue. (You had us at ‘1970s’.)
For now, let us all enjoy a little Lace.
