Lana Del Rey recently graced the Met Gala 2023 with an ethereal and romantic fashion statement. The singer, known for her captivating stage presence, commanded the famed Met steps in a custom design by Alexander McQueen’s Seán McGirr. The striking look referenced an archival Alexander McQueen design from the house’s history, celebrating the savoir faire of the atelier in a contemporary way. The corseted dress, crafted from silk, double georgette, and tulle, featured intricate hand-embroidered hammered bronze-bullion hawthorn branches. Inspired by the patina and form of Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures, the detailing added a touch of elegance and sophistication to the ensemble. For a dramatic finish, McGirr created a special headpiece for Del Rey, using natural hawthorn branches draped with a veil of sheer tulle. Completing the look, the singer carried a bronze metal Drop bag embellished with a clock detail, adding a touch of modernity to the overall aesthetic. This marked Del Rey’s third appearance at the Met Gala, with each appearance showcasing her unique fashion sense. In 2018, she delivered one of the night’s most memorable moments in a cream dress with gold accents and an ombré blue headpiece with wings. Back in 2012, she stunned in a sleek Altuzarra gown with a metallic silver hue and a dramatic black cape. Del Rey’s latest appearance at the Met Gala was a testament to her unwavering commitment to pushing fashion boundaries and embracing the power of nature.
