These One Direction "Perfect" Video GIFs Are Glory
Stop everything because One Direction's "Perfect" video is here, and it's the stunning visual to one of the best songs (we've heard) off of Made in the A.M. If we're being honest, it's hard for One Direction to not look amazing when shot in black and white. But while 2012's "Little Things" celebrated the sensitive side to the biggest boy band in the world, "Perfect" shows what these men are like now that they're all grown up. The answer: Flawless.
Much of the video shows the band members spending time alone in their hotel rooms, so it's hard to escape that loneliness. They've been working non-stop for five years, which is no doubt exhausting for them. But on the hand, "Perfect" shows their chemistry together and how genuinely happy they are to be a group. Their ability to push through the hard times and stand by their fans is touching, especially as the One Direction hiatus looms closer.
At the core of the video, however, is the reason fans fell for One Direction in the first place. Their flaws aren't hidden, and we all connect to that vulnerability. Here are 13 times One Direction were flawless in their "Perfect" music video.
