Gangsta Nancy Sinatra

Lana Del Rey has been dubbed the "Gangsta Nancy Sinatra" because of her music style, which coincides with her fashion sense. I am quite jealous of the many styles she is able to pull off effortlessly. Whether she is wearing a ball gown, or a garbage bag, Del Rey seems to look fabulous and unique. Her fashion sense is one many girls envy, and try to pull off. In music videos Lana wears awesome outfits, accompanied by eccentric accessories, whether it be a crown of flowers or a tiger. But these music video looks also reflect her personal style. On the street she can be seen wearing studded cutoff jean shorts and a rocker tee, and her music mirrors that. However, if her song is a soft rock melody, she will dress up the video by wearing outfits inspired by "Old Hollywood." In her "National Anthem" music video Lana is seen in white dress pants with a lilac blouse, which reflects the 60s. Not only is this outfit classic, it is trendy. This music video also features several other 60s inspired outfits, and I want almost all of them! Lana's blurring of street and career fashion is changing the fads seen today. Her hard rock persona mixed with her soft rock style has dubbed her the "Gangsta Nancy Sinatra."
