Little Mix are a good girl band to look at for example of Goodwin. Since they are a relatively new band, and have only produced a couple music videos, they have yet to develop a 'style' or 'motif' of their own, but each band member does have a certain outfit/costume styling. Rather than having the same outfit duplicated, each member has a version of an outfit style, for example, Jade (purple hair) has a more 'cute' version whilst Leigh-Anne (black hair) has a more 'urban' version. This could be seen as a visual style which fits in to Goodwin's Six.
Little Mix also demonstrates the typical characteristics of their genre, girl pop band, which is a synchronized dance routine, which all members contribute to. Again, the band are dressed similarly, but all have their individual styles.
The music video also presents many close ups of each band member, which is a main point in Goodwin's Six, and also, by watching the music video, there is a strong link between music and visuals, like cutting to the beat, which this music video demonstrates very well. There is also a link between lyrics and visuals, with the narrative of the song, and singing about loving someone you don't want to and 'DNA'.
Here's the music video to see the relationships stated above.
