Beyoncé 'Run The World (Girls)' Video Premieres!
American Idol semi-final.
The epic five-minute video, which has now emerged online, shows Beyoncé and a hoard of scantly-clad ladies dancing in an apocalyptic setting, as they combat a group of men dressed in riot gear.
Directed by Jay-Zis said to have brought in 200 African dancers for the video, as her all-girl troupe battle it out with a collection of male performers.
The video opens with the Single Ladies hitmaker riding a horse, and also features a number of animals, including a lion.
The 29-year old diva also makes several costume changes throughout the promo, at one point even donning a gold-headress, and black hotpants in another scene.
As well as working with Beyoncé, Lawrence has previously directed Lady GaGa's hit video, Bad Romance.
In other Queen B news, the Halo hitmaker has also unveiled the front cover for her new album, 4, due for UK release on 27th June.
The artwork shows Beyoncé topless, with only a fur waistcoat protecting her breasts from exposure.
