Alicia Keys recruits husband Swizz Beatz and Jada Pinkett Smith for her new music video... and little Egypt comes too

Alicia Keys is putting plenty of star power into her new music video.
The singer, 32, recruited her friend Jada Pinkett Smith to collaborate with her on the clip for her latest single Brand New Me Part 2.
The women teamed up on Thursday in New York City’s Brooklyn borough and Alicia's rapper husband Swizz Beats joined in too.

Babysitting duties: Swizz looked after their two-year-old son Egypt Dean between takes

Between takes, Swizz was spotted hanging out with hip hop star A$AP Rocky and he also took care of his adorable two-year-old son with Alicia, Egypt.
The actress wife of Will Smith swapped the big screen for her part in the short and donned her quirky twist in street style for the role.

 

The 41-year-old defied the years as she showed up on set in monochrome and plenty of bling.
The mother of Jaden and Willow Smith showed off her toned legs in a high-waist white skirt which she teamed with a sheer black leotard.
Jada added embellishment with a chunky gold chain necklace and large hoop earrings, also wearing high top trainers with gem decorations at the back.

It’s not the first time Jada has featured in a musical venture with the star. She was also in the video for Alicia’s 2008 track Superwoman, along with her son Jaden.
The ladies – who were working on the video for the uptempo song, which samples Crystal Waters' single Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless) – are also ambassadors for MTVU’s Against Our Will campaign which hopes to amplify the voices of human trafficking survivors.
Empire State of Mind singer, Alicia, was equally stylish in an army-style camouflage jacket with black skinny jeans and a baseball cap adorned with a pound, yen and dollar sign to help make up her surname.

On Wednesday she attended the unveiling of the new Blackberry 10 mobile phone for which she is an ambassador.
