16 of the Most Seductive Music Videos of All Time
Remember when MTV was actually about the music? Those groundbreaking days gave us some deliciously scandalous moments, with trailblazers like Madonna and Prince serving up videos that had censors working overtime and viewers glued to their screens. These weren't just music videos—they were cultural phenomena that sparked conversations (and more than a few raised eyebrows).
Fast forward to today, and that legacy of visual seduction has only gotten more refined. When an artist drops a particularly sultry track, you know we're in for a feast for the senses when the video debuts. We've curated an irresistible collection of the most captivating visual moments in music history; from Shakira's mesmerizing hip work, to D'Angelo's intimate camera gaze that still has people fanning themselves, to Ariana Grande's sophisticated takes on sensuality. Consider this your ultimate guide to music's most memorable steamy moments that perfectly blend sound and vision.
1. Shakira | La Tortura
While many would argue that Shaki's She Wolf is by far sexier, La Tortura tops our list for the voyeuristic Alejandro Sanz and the playfulness between the two artists.
2. Bruno Mars | Gorilla
Everything Bruno Mars does is sexy and Gorilla is no exception. The atmosphere is so hot and sweaty in this video, give these folks an air conditioner STAT!
3. Beyoncé | Partition
Sexy videos? You can't go wrong with Queen B. Even her silhouette is sexy.
4. Selena Gomez | Hands to Myself
Selena Gomez sizzles in this video as she recreates her take on Fatal Attraction.
5. Enrique Iglesias | Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)
Enrique suffers from chronic 'sad puppy-eye' syndrome and we fall for it every single time.
6. Mac Miller (feat. Ariana Grande) | My Favorite Part
The chemistry between the late Mac Miller and Ariana Grande is palpable and it gives us all the feels in this sultry video.
7. Rihanna | Work ft. Drake
We have a hard time understanding all of Rihanna's lyrics in this song, but what we do know is that she's werkin' it & twerkin' it like a boss!
8. Lenny Kravitz | Again
Lenny Kravitz's soulful yearning and search for a lost love connection makes us want to watch this video “again” and “again”.
9. Jennifer Lopez | I'm Glad
When it comes to JLo, there is no shortage of sexy videos. Sure, she showed off her ample assets in Booty with Iggy Azalea, but we think her homage to the 80s hit movie Flashdance is as sexy as it gets.
10. Beyoncé | Sweet Dreams
Beyoncé makes our list again with Sweet Dreams. We love this video for its choreography and the fierce sexiness she exudes with every single step and toss of her hair.
11. Janet Jackson | Anytime, Anyplace
This is Janet in her prime. This slow and sultry video shows that underneath her demure persona, Janet Jackson can certainly bring the heat.
12. D'Angelo | How Does It Feel
We don't even know where to begin with this video. Enough said...
13. Maluma | Sin Contrato
He sure is a “pretty, dirty boy” and we can't help but fawn over his bad boy ways in Sin Contrato.
14. Demi Lovato | Cool For The Summer
We're definitely cool with this video and with Demi's fierce body confidence.
15. Mariah Carey | Honey
When Mariah finally let go of her modest persona (remember then?) she really let loose. This iconic video, which was released in 1997, has influenced the generations that followed and was the catalyst for the R&B remix.
16. Shakira | Chantaje (Versión Salsa) ft. Maluma
Making our list again are Shakira and Maluma. These artists are hot in their own right, but together, they are on fire! This duo definitely has chemistry and it shows on screen.
