Lana Del Rey made a striking return to the Met Gala red carpet in 2025, wearing a custom Valentino gown designed by Alessandro Michele. The ethereal creation featured a sheer lace back, feather plumes, and a delicate shoulder bow. But it was her gold alligator hair clips that stole the spotlight—a playful nod to her husband, Jeremy Dufrene, an alligator tour guide whom she married in 2024.

Styled with a retro updo and winged eyeliner, Del Rey fully embraced her “alligator bride” reputation. Earlier that day, she teased the look on Instagram, sharing a rare selfie with Dufrene and a peek at her Valentino accessories.
