She's known for her weird and wonderful fashion sense and her haunting voice, but now Florence Welch has the perfect music video to suit her style.
The five-minute long creation was directed by artist and photographer David LaChapelle and it seems the collaboration was something that singer Florence Welch had always dreamed of.
Accompanying her voice on the latest single, Spectrum (Say My Name), the 25-year-old is seen dressed as an Egyptian queen as she dances alongside ballerinas.
A dream come true: Fliorence and the Machine's latest music video was directed by David LaChapelle
The dreamy video begins with the redhead sitting on a chair surrounded by lights and a spinning chandelier.
Florence wears a bright red fringed wig and dark eyeshadow as she belts out her latest song.
'It was a complete dream to work with David LaChapelle,' she said. 'I collected his books as a teenager, and I fantasised that he would direct the video for Spectrum from the moment the song was written.

'I still cant believe it actually happened,
and I'm completely overjoyed that he felt such a connection with the song.'
Clearly David felt the same way about working with the band and has an impressive history of directing music videos - including collaborations with Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears.
'It's a beautiful song that really touched me and inspired me to create imagery that matches its power,' said David, who co-directed the video with John Byrne.

'Spectrum is free of scepticism, irony, and the coldness one finds in a lot of contemporary popular music. It's the opposite - full of light, positivity and authentic joy. I hope that I can do justice to this moving modern classic.'
Florence can also be seen wearing a gold sequin jumpsuit in the video and is followed by a young female ballerina who mimes her lyrics.
Spectrum (Say My Name) will be the fourth single to be released from the band's second studio album Ceremonials and is available ton buy on July 8.
