Music video
The music video for "Sexy Eyes" was directed by Italian director Giacomo De Simone. It features Whigfield in Porto Venere, Italy. It begins with the singer arriving town, driving in her car. This time she has curls in her hair and wears black sunglasses. After beginning to sing, she leaves her car and brings a silver hard case with her. Then she dances on her way along the pier of the city. She stops by a gypsy woman, who are selling porcelain cats. Whigfield takes a look, but refuses to buy when the woman are reaching her one. The singer continues dancing through the narrow alleys of Porto Venere. Suddenly three white sailors appear. They are chasing Whigfield and dances with her along on her way. A scene shows her kissing one of them. Towards the end, the sailors disappear, one by one. Back in her car, she opens her hard case, and there lies three white porcelain cats. The video ends as Whigfield drives away in her car, now with the sailors.
