Lana Del Rey's 15 Best Style Moments
In honor of her headlining this year's Coachella Music Festival, revisit the inimitable singer, songwriter, and style icon’s best outfits.
Lana Del Rey is known for her particular brand of radiant gloom. The singer’s narrative style spins tales of love, loss, and heartbreak that capture the intricacies of life in such an idiosyncratic way, it’s no wonder her wardrobe choices are often just as complex. Between her flower crown era and her signature laid-back street style, Del Rey often toes the line between modern minimalism and retro glam so expertly that it appears effortless.
In the past years, the singer has incorportated a softer look into her wardrobe in contrast from her retro and Hollywood-inspired eras of music. In 2023, Del Rey wore a lot of lace, and has been incorporating it more into her red carpet looks to showcase her femininity. While her style was influenced by her deep lyrics and, as fans would describe it, their "sad mood," she's now entering a softer, more romantic era that can be tied to the upcoming release of her new country album.
Headlining this year's Coachella Music Festival, Del Rey brought some unexpected sparkles to the stage. On April 12, the singer opted for not one, but two Dolce & Gabanna custom dresses embroidered with Swarovski crystals all around. Different from her typical romantic or edgy performance looks, these custom designer dresses showed us Del Rey's new style versatility.
Here, look back at 15 of the pop star's best style moments, ranging from outings in dainty, ladylike dresses, to performing in edgy black leather jackets and ripped jeans.
