The [[music video]] for "Bootylicious", directed by [[Matthew Rolston]] and filmed from May 7–9, 2001, showed Destiny's Child performing dance steps from [[Michael Jackson]]'s famous "[[Billie Jean]]" performance from the special ''[[Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever]]''.<ref name="MkTV1">{{cite web|title=MTV Making The Video: Destiny's Child "Bootylicious" (Part One) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqSGLqLFZsg |work=[[Making the Video]] | date=July 13, 2011 |via=[[YouTube]]| access-date=June 14, 2023}}</ref><ref name="MkTV3">{{cite web|title=MTV Making The Video: Destiny's Child "Bootylicious" (Part Three) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD5Fp7rIna0 |work=[[Making the Video]] | date=July 13, 2011 |via=[[YouTube]]| access-date=June 14, 2023}}</ref> During the video, moves from several other Michael Jackson videos can be seen such as parts of the choreography from "[[Thriller (song)|Thriller]]", "[[Beat It]]", "[[Bad (Michael Jackson song)|Bad]]", and "[[The Way You Make Me Feel]]". Dance moves that were used by Jackson during live performances of "[[They Don't Care About Us]]" can be seen as well.

As the group is dancing, the members appear in several different costumes. These scenes are interloped with the group dancing in front of a dance troupe made of all boys. The dance sequence ends with a diamond-shaped stage where the group appears wearing pink crop-tops, while the all-male dance troupe appears shirtless, wearing Michael Jackson's signature one glove and sagging pants that showed their underwear with "Destiny" at the back. Stevie Nicks is featured playing the sampled riff on a guitar.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 7, 2001 |title=Stevie Nicks With Child |url=http://www.dotmusic.com/news/May2001/news19656.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030620174155/http://www.dotmusic.com/news/May2001/news19656.asp |archive-date=June 20, 2003 |access-date=October 31, 2024 |website=Dotmusic}}</ref> [[Solange Knowles]], Beyoncé's sister, also makes a brief cameo in the video.

The video for "Bootylicious" began airing on [[BET]], [[VH1]], and [[MTV]] on the week ending May 27, 2001, with the video premiering on the latter channel's ''[[Making the Video]]'' series.<ref name="MkTV3"/><ref>{{Cite magazine |date=June 9, 2001 |title=Video Monitor |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HBQEAAAAMBAJ |magazine=Billboard |page=85}}</ref> The version of the song featured in the music video is slightly different from the album version, removing the synth strings and DJ scratching and percussion fills in favour of a drier mix, with the bass guitar cut out part-way through the final choruses and a fade-out of the instrumental leaving only the vocals near the end. This version was never commercially released.

The music clip is featured on the DualDisc edition of the 2005 compilation album ''[[Number 1's (Destiny's Child album)|#1's]]'' and as an enhanced video on the UK and French editions of the single. The video for the Rockwilder remix featuring Missy Elliott is available on the "Urban Remixes" version of the UK CD single for "[[Emotion (Samantha Sang song)#Destiny's Child version|Emotion]]".<ref>{{cite AV media notes|title=Emotions (The Urban Remixes)|others=Destiny's Child|year=2001|type=UK CD single liner notes|publisher=Columbia Records|id=672111 5}}</ref>

The music video uses a slightly altered version of the song; the difference being the song's instrumental. A notable difference in the music video is that the song's instrumental fades out at the end of the song, resulting in the final chorus being sung, acapella. Whereas, on the album version, the song's instrumental is heard throughout the song and during the final chorus and ends just before Knowles sings her final line.
