Lana Del Rey Unveils Velvet Whiplash at Paris Jaguar Launch 2012 • CelebMafia

Never one to play it safe, Lana Del Rey merged retro romance with automotive edge—posing in pristine white beside a fire-red Jaguar at Paris’s Musée Rodin.

There’s something about Lana Del Rey that makes nostalgia feel like prophecy. On September 26, 2012, at the Jaguar F-Type launch in Paris, she didn’t just attend—she orchestrated a mood. Styled like a ghost of glamour past, yet unmistakably modern, Lana’s look was a cinematic tableau that blurred the line between fashion editorial and luxury ad campaign.

The centerpiece? A white asymmetrical dress, tailored to perfection, with a high neckline and flared hem that danced in the breeze like a forgotten screen siren’s final scene. The fabric—crisp, structured, almost sculptural—evoked a kind of purity that felt deliberate, not demure. It was reportedly styled by Nicole Nodland, who also photographed the shoot, capturing Lana in a series of poses that felt both intimate and iconic.

Her accessories were minimal, but strategic: white heels that elongated her silhouette and echoed the clean lines of the dress. No jewelry, no distractions—just Lana, the car, and the chateau. The backdrop, Musée Rodin, lent its ornate architecture and soft Parisian light to the mise-en-scène, while the Jaguar F-Type, in a deep cherry red, added a jolt of sensuality. It wasn’t just a car—it was a co-star.
