Lana del Rey didn’t take her new husband, Jeremy Dufrene, to the Met Gala on May 5. But her look did include a subtle tribute to the Louisiana alligator tour guide captain.
The dress code for the evening was Tailored for You, and celebrated the history of Black dandyism. Del Rey’s dress was black Valentino couture and, at first glance, the star of the show was the oversized bow at the shoulder, which also included an eye-catching feather detail.

But then, if you looked closely at del Rey’s tightly coiled hairstyle, you might have noticed the small alligator hairpin. If you know anything at all about Dufrene, whom del Rey married in September 2024, you know that he gives alligator tours in the Louisiana bayou by trade.
