We can't stress this enough: it's one thing to listen to your favourite artist's music, and another to see familiar faces in the music video. In the list below are our favourite model cameos in pop hits like The Weeknd's 'Out of Time,' Zayn Malik's 'Pillowtalk,' and More

1. Naomi Campbell x Bob Marley – “Is This Love “(1978)

Believe it or not, Naomi Campbell was spotted in Bob Marley's Is This Love music video which was released in 1978. The star was only seven years old. 
 
In a 2016 interview, the model revealed that she still thinks of the times she spent in the presence of the beloved musician. “Of all the videos, Bob Marley's Is This Love was the most exciting. Our family loved reggae,” Campbell began. “I was just seven, and didn't know what it would involve."

2. Claudia Schiffer x Westlife – “Uptown Girl” (2000)

Nothing else can light up the room and make everyone dance better than Westlife's upbeat pop hit Uptown Girl. The nostalgic music video features the sought-after German model and actress Claudia Schiffer who rose to fame after appearing on the covers of Elle, Vogue, and in a Guess campaign. 

Tatler Trivia: While shooting the music video, Westlife band member Mark Feehily revealed that Schiffer asked them to eat lunch, which they respectfully turned down after their record label asked them to finish the shoot instead.

"When we shot Uptown Girl, Claudia Schiffer was in the video. She invited us for lunch and we turned her down. We were doing the shoot with Claudia Schiffer and she was going for lunch halfway through the shoot but the label told us we had to do finish the shoot," he said

 

3. Cara Delevingne x Taylor Swift – Bad Blood (2015)

Among Taylor Swift's set of popular friends is Cara Delevigne who was featured in her 2015 Bad Blood music video. The two were reportedly linked after a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2013 where the former performed and the latter modelled in. 

At present time, however, many fans speculate that the friendship between Swift and Delevigne no longer blossomed after the model was spotted on a vacation trip with Scooter Braun in the middle of his feud with Swift. 

Regardless of the suspected friendship "fallout," nobody can deny that the Bad Blood music video is one of Swift's best releases yet.

Who would have thought that after model Gigi Hadid appeared in Zayn Malik's 2016 music video Pillowtalk, the two would now be parents of one beautiful baby?

Fans felt the duo's insane chemistry in the music video which made them suspect that the two were dating. On Twitter, the two also had an exchange of flirty messages:

In 2021, it was announced that the couple has officially parted ways. "They are not together right now. They are both good parents though," a source told People magazine. "They co-parent. Yolanda is of course very protective of Gigi. She wants the best for her daughter and grandchild."
