Met Gala 2025 was not only a showcase of the greatest fashion but also a venue for celebrities paying homage to iconic personalities or people close to them. Lana Del Rey followed a similar theme, wearing an accessory that seemingly was a tribute to her husband and alligator tour guide, Jeremy Dufrene. The singer accessorized her red carpet look with gold gator-shaped hair clips. Although she didn’t make a joint appearance with Dufrene like many other couples, the star found a unique and adorable way to honor her spouse.
Lana Del Rey paid tribute to husband with gator-shaped hair clips at Met Gala 2025
Lana Del Rey’s arrival at the Met Gala 2025 red carpet turned heads not only because of her showstopping outfit but also because of her sweet tribute to her husband, Jeremy Dufrene. The singer wasn’t alone when she arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday. Instead of arriving with her partner, she was accompanied by Valentino’s creative director, Alessandro Michele, who designed her stunning gown.
For fashion’s biggest night out, Del Rey opted for a regal Valentino haute couture gown, which featured a billowing satin skirt and a black velvet full-sleeve top. The dress was accentuated with a dramatic bow and feather detail on one shoulder that gained significant attention on the red carpet. The singer rounded off her ensemble with a fitting tribute to her alligator tour guide husband. Honoring Dufrene, she wore a pair of golden gator-shaped hair clips.
Del Rey positioned the fun hair pieces to ensure they stand apart. She placed one hair clip near her right ear and the second atop her curly updo. Celebrity stylist Molly Dickson assembled the singer’s look and shared a glimpse of the shiny hair clips on her Instagram Story. According to Page Six, the star also shared a picture of kissing Dufrene on her Instagram ahead of the event while showcasing her ensemble.
Lana Del Rey wed Jeremy Dufrene on September 26, 2024, in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, after a few months of dating. They reportedly held the wedding ceremony in the same location where Dufrene operates his boat tours, given that the special location is where the couple first met.
