Fashion Inspired by Music Videos: “Love,” by Lana Del Rey
Although the woman in the video is seen wearing an off-the-shoulder-top underneath what appear to be black overalls, I decided to switch things up — and make the overall look easier to pull off — by layering a peach-colored turtleneck t-shirt underneath a long black slip dress instead, since the t-shirt-under-a-slip-dress look is one of my current favorites!
Because the t-shirt already has a high neck, I don’t recommend wearing a choker, like the woman in the video does; instead, choose something a little longer, like this gold beaded necklace from Ann Taylor.
As for shoes, I stuck to a pair of white high-top Converse sneakers, like the ones seen on the woman in the video, which, in addition to looking classically cool, have the added benefit of making a long dress more daytime-appropriate.
If it’s sunny out, take inspiration from the woman in the video once more and put on a pair of pale pink cat-eye sunglasses to add a fun, yet classy, touch to your look.

The final look inspired by “Love” is a mash-up of various elements that appear in the video.
First, put on a lace bell-sleeve top that is reminiscent of Lana’s dress. Then, add some star-patterned jeans: These ones have a lived-in, vintage-inspired feel that goes perfectly with the video’s overall vibe, not to mention the connection between the stars and the video’s outer space theme.
Next, slip on a pair of daisy-printed sneakers, which I chose because I still can’t resist the flowers that Lana wears in her hair!
I have decided to pair the outfit with some pretty, delicate jewelry: this layered necklace — with its moon charms and pearl beads that almost resemble tiny stars — once again reflect the space theme, while these “love” script earrings add a cute finishing touch.
