nme.comCharli XCX and Billie Eilish have donated 10,000 pairs of pants that were used in the video for their latest collaboration ‘Guess’ to charity.
Charli and Eilish joined forces yesterday (August 1) on a new remix of ‘Brat’ deluxe edition track ‘Guess’, which was co-produced by The Dare and Finneas.In the video, ten thousand pairs of underwear were used – including in a scene where Eilish crashes into a pile of it while driving a bulldozer.As the pair sing: “you wanna guess the colour of my underwear/ you wanna know what I’ve got going on down there”, the pants can be seen falling from the sky and lying in the street where they’re walking.During the video’s credits, a message appears noting that all the unworn garments would be donated to I Support The Girls.The charity, which is based in the US, works across the globe to distribute both underwear and period products to women experiencing “domestic violence, homelessness and hardship” (as per the BBC).Writing on Twitter/X about the donation, the charity said: “We’re so lucky to be getting the formidable panty mountain!”We’re loving the phrasing by Daniel Peters @NME : Featuring two pop stars, one bulldozer and “10 thousand panties.” We’re so lucky to be getting the formidable panty mountain!
