We get that Avril Lavigne is into alternative outfits, and we completely understand that music video costumes can be bizarre, but this look is beyond our comprehension.

What in the world is the "Smile" singer wearing? So far we see an army helmet, a kelp green bustier, sparkly thigh high socks, a row of bullets worn as a sash, and giant, terrifying platform boots. And that's only half of what this rocker is wearing!

Since Avril is keeping the song behind this look a secret, we've been forced to do a little guessing on the topic. Here are our top three ideas:

1. It's about a military woman from the future who takes a job as a honky-tonk bar dancer ala Coyote Ugly

2. It's an homage to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in which Avril plays the turtle who wore the weapon sash

3. It's about an alien who shows up to earth on Halloween and has to come up with a costume super fast

Given this look, we think all three ideas are totally reasonable, you? Tell us your ideas in comments!
