“I can confirm that the album cover was not shot in Lenny’s house,” says the executive producer of photographer Mark Seliger, Ruth Levy, only page six before realizing that Seliger and Kravitz are still “close friends”.

A Spears historian who heads the fan account Britnysvault tells us that the princess of pop for the work of art in Quijote Studios in West Hollywood, California, actually poses -almost 3,000 miles from Kravitz ‘former house in Miami.

While Kravitz Spears did not borrow his Y2K-inspired residence, the rock star took his daughter Zoë Kravitz with him to meet the singer “… Baby One More Time” in 2000 at LA Soundbage.

“My father surprised me. He was a lot of gone on tour and all of this. So he was really cute about when he came into the city to try to be a bit fun and surprise me,” the “Batman” star recalled in Variety in 2020.

Zoë, who was then 11 years old, had to take a photo behind the scenes with Spears, then 18.

The actress enthused that the meeting “The biggest star in the world” was “very, very cool” and added: “Britney Spears is still a big deal for me.”

For the shooting, production designer Walter Barnett built two sets: one for the album cover “Oops” and one for his lead single that took pictures of the same name.

Barnett said Britneysvault in news that was reported on page six that he was inspired by designs of the 1960s and had to “search pictures from printed books and magazines”, since Google Images was only presented in 2001.

He remembered that he had a semicylindrical backdrop with a golden, artificial artificial leather for the spear while standing.

Barnett used a fine wire for the finishing touch to hold a variety of chandelier crystals together to hang from above so that they can drape over the shoulders of the teenage idol.

The end product that spear with a baby with a brown whipstitched crop top and suitable lace-ups with a low slope became one of the most renowned album cover ever.

“Oops” was also a commercial blow that became the first LP of an artist in US history, which sold 1.32 million copies in the first week alone.

In addition to his title track, “Oops” brought the hit -singles “Lucky”, “Stronger” and “Don’t let me be the last one”.
