Which model appeared in the 1986 music video for Duran Duran’s “Notorious”?

Christy Turlington appeared in Duran Duran’s 1986 music video for “Notorious”.

The video was directed by Peter Kagan and Paula Greif and used a polished, performance-oriented visual style that reflected the close relationship between pop music and fashion in the 1980s. Turlington’s appearance connected the band’s image with the growing celebrity of international fashion models.

Turlington was still early in her career when “Notorious” was released, but she soon became one of the most recognizable models of the supermodel era. Her editorial work, runway career, and long-running beauty campaigns established her as a leading figure in fashion.

Music-video trivia can be difficult because several major models appeared in different videos during the same decade. Turlington’s “Notorious” appearance should not be confused with George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90,” which featured a group of five famous models in 1990.
