The Presentation Experience

The Most Beautiful Girl in the World Music Video:
"This Kind of Beauty Is The Kind That Comes from Inside"

Prince’s “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World” music video culminates with an appearance by renowned educator Marva Collins. This talk will explore how the centering of Collins in this seminal work underscores the lyrics, “This kind of beauty comes is the kind that comes from inside.”

In “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,” Prince deconstructs the superficial beauty standards that the mainstream media and much of the public associated with his female collaborators. Collins’ presence emphasizes that beauty is much more than skin deep and shines a spotlight on a social cause that Prince had long privately championed.
