When Britney Spears shot the video for "Toxic" in 2003, she had already started to play with her image and was emerging as a pop vixen. When the clip for "Toxic," the second single from In the Zone, was released, fans saw Spears as a spy out to seek revenge on her lover. "It's basically about a girl addicted to a guy," Spears told MTV in 2003. "I really like 'Toxic.' It's an upbeat song. It's really different, that's why I like it so much. This villain girl, she'll do anything to get what she wants. She goes through different obstacles." For the video, Britney seems to be a flight attendant, but she's actually a secret agent in disguise. "The plot is pretty nonsensical," director Joseph Kahn told MTV News. "It's just fun. [It's like] James Bond flicks and sex." That combination only got better when Britney appeared in a suit made of nude material covered in diamonds. "Britney said she wanted to shoot a scene wearing diamonds and nothing else, and I'm like, 'How do I make this work?' " Kahn said. "She said she wanted to dance. I didn't like the bikini she was wearing." Instead, the pair opted to leave very little to the imagination. "Joseph's very ambitious. He's a professional," Britney said. "I came up with the concept and threw it out there. ... There are jewels all over my body. There's nothing actually underneath."
