Lana Del Rey Unveils Vintage Riviera Glamour in 2012 • CelebMafia

A true queen of melancholic retro, Lana Del Rey (before the ‘old Hollywood’ revival took over) delivered an iconic photoshoot of timeless glamour.

Before the rest of the world caught up, before the trend cycle became obsessed with ‘vintage aesthetics,’ there was Lana Del Rey. The images from her March 4, 2012 photoshoot are not just a collection of outfits—they are a masterclass in nostalgic escapism, a beautifully constructed world that she has been inhabiting for over a decade.

There is a sense of languid, sun-drenched beauty that feels straight out of the Italian Riviera in the 1960s. One of the most striking images features her in a white sleeveless dress with subtle cutouts, all topped with a massive, striped sun hat. It’s a look that feels more Jackie O. than it does pop star, a direct line to a world of grand tour and effortless glamour.

Another photo finds her poolside, in a white one-piece halter swimsuit with polished gold buttons. Her signature vintage waves and large, gold hoop earrings complete the picture, a vision of unapologetic femininity. Even a simple two-piece look, with a white crop top and pleated skirt, feels like it has been plucked from a long-forgotten postcard.
