Lana Del Rey Honors Husband at 2025 Met Gala

Lana Del Rey attended the 2025 Met Gala in Valentino Haute Couture by Alessandro Michele, accessorizing with gold alligator hair clips in tribute to her husband, Jeremy Dufrene, a Louisiana alligator tour guide whom she married in September 2024. Her dramatic look featured black velvet, brown satin, lace details, and a feathered bow, embracing the gala’s 'Tailored for You' theme and the Costume Institute's exhibition on Black dandyism. Del Rey previewed her ensemble on Instagram, posting a rare photo with Dufrene, and received acclaim for her cinematic and personalized interpretation of the event. After the gala, she performed live with Jon Batiste at Cartier's afterparty at Bemelmans Bar. The 2025 Met Gala also highlighted the influence of Black designers and dandyism, with co-chairs Pharrell Williams and LeBron James. Del Rey's presence continued her tradition of merging Old Hollywood glamour with personal storytelling.
