She's Got Style: Lana Del Rey

I was a bit late catching on to this lady- I had heard/seen people talk about her for awhile until i came across her video for 'National Anthem' which featured the very delicious A$ap Rocky. 
Since then i've become a big fan of Lana's Music & style, I like how she seemed to take the best of the 50's & 60's aesthetic, and make it modern.

Lana Del Rey has just released her new album titled 'Ultraviolence'.
I have noticed she has somewhat pared down, or simplified her look lately.

For example, at the premiere of her short film 'Tropico', (about 7 months ago) she wore a plum coloured crushed velvet long slip dress with a leather biker jacket & black Doc Martins. Her hair was wavy, silky & dark, and her makeup was luminous with a thin cat eye liner, topped off with a bright magenta lip.

She has left behind the bouffant do, hair extensions, dramatic eyeliner & cute mod accessories. Instead going with a cool, almost grunge, rock chick vibe. For most of the 'Ultraviolence' promo pictures, her hair is a beautiful chestnut shade, parted in the middle, with makeup being heavy black liner & nude/brown lipstick.

I'm really loving the new album, as well as the videos for 'West Coast & 'Shades Of Cool'. You should check them out!
