Lana Del Rey, the wedding dress is not vintage: it is custom made

Speculation about Lana Del Rey’s wedding dress went off on a tangent as soon as the Daily Mail shared some stolen shots from her “sudden wedding” with alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene on September 26th.

Thanks to the low resolution of the images and the highly confidential press silence, the news is misleading, as it is totally in line with the singer’s nature, that her wedding dress had been purchased from the New Orleans vintage shop Trashy Diva has made the rounds on the web. But a handful of hours ago the denial came and the fashion-mystery has been solved.

The boutique in question first declared the misunderstanding directly from its Instagram profile, publishing a selfie of the American singer-songwriter dressed in a pretty cream-colored dress, whose caption reads: «Kind regards, even if Lana Del Rey took some goodies from us recently, her wedding dress was not the model she took home.” A hole in the water, in short. So what? Where does the white dress really come from West Coast Queen?

It’s one put from the figure-hugging bodice edged with scalloped lace ruffles on the neckline, which unfolds into a soft skirt with train.

Just as he ironically points out to us The Cutin the singer’s looks we can find clear “signs of destiny” that presage her own liaison with the alligator expert, translated for example into the reptilian clips shown at the Echo Music Awards in 2013. In the same way, as we know, the white dress has become a common thread in the stream of consciousness of his discography between glamournostalgia and tragic sweetness. From the dress cut out Of Born to Die (2012), passing through the veil on the bucolic path of Ultraviolence (2014), to the laces of Tropic (2016), up to the cover of Interview Magazine in Dior and the midi wedding dress by Zimmerman on the red carpet of the Billboard Women In Music 2023 ceremony. Just to report some of the many poetic simulations. But what can we say, today we can only wonder if her first (custom-made) wedding dress will really be the last in a long series.
