Well, well, well… look who floated back onto the Met Gala carpet like a haunted dream wrapped in velvet and drama—Lana Del Rey, our moody songstress queen of melancholy and mystery! The 39-year-old angel of Americana goth hit the 2025 Met Gala on Monday night looking like she just emerged from a Victorian séance—and we mean that in the best way possible.
But she didn’t come alone. Oh no, never alone. Lana reunited with her fashion soulmate, the one and only Alessandro Michele, now the creative director at Valentino, who greeted her with a cheek smooch like a man who knows he’s escorting literal royalty. (We stan a loyal designer who sticks by his spooky muse.)
The last time these two hit the Met Gala together was back in 2018, joined by Jared Leto, when Alessandro was still conjuring magic over at Gucci. (It was a lot of robes, a lot of jewels, and just the right amount of cult-leader energy.)
This year? Lana showed up in full mystical forest widow mode—wearing a custom piece from Valentino’s Vertigineux Haute Couture Collection, which sounds like a fancy way to say “this gown is going to SLAY and haunt your dreams.”
Her look:
✨ A long black velvet and brown satin gown, because of course she’s bringing funeral-chic back.
✨ Lace on the back, because drama should be served from all angles.
✨ A black bow with feathers, because why not channel both a grieving heiress and a very fashionable crow?
✨ Topped with Valentino accessories and Jennifer Zeuner earrings, completing the vibe of “wealthy ghost who only appears under moonlight.”
Basically, Lana didn’t walk the carpet—she glided across it like a glam banshee with a skincare routine.
Alessandro + Lana = the fashion love story that keeps on giving. Long live couture witchcore.
