Lana Del Rey Dons Chic Lace Minidress For Date With Husband After Significant Weight Loss
As a style icon, the "Summertime Sadness" singer has been lauded for her ethereal and romantic red carpet appearances in recent years, including at this year's Met Gala and last year's Oscars. Fans have also observed fluctuations in her weight over time. According to Pinkvilla, in 2020, Del Rey experienced a significant weight gain of around 50 pounds.
Fast forward to January 2024, Del Rey became the face of Kim Kardashian's SKIMS Valentine’s Day campaign, looking "healthier" and "happier," much to the delight of her fans who showered her with praise. In April, she headlined Coachella, stunning the audience in Dolce & Gabbana dresses adorned with Swarovski crystals.
These recent appearances fueled speculation that she might have used Ozempic, a controversial diabetes medication popular among celebrities for rapid weight loss. While Del Rey has not addressed the rumors about her weight loss, she has previously spoken about making healthier lifestyle choices.
The "Born To Die" artist revealed that she embraced sobriety in her teenage years and has stayed committed to it ever since. She discussed her journey to sobriety in a 2012 interview with GQ. "When I write about the thing that I’ve lost I feel like I’m writing about alcohol because that was the first love of my life," she told the outlet. She added: "Sure, there have been people, but it’s really alcohol.” The "Blue Jeans" crooner also shared: "It's been nine years since my last drink."
As Del Rey continues to wow fans with her recent transformation, many are still in awe of her whirlwind romance with Louisiana-born alligator tour guide, Dufrene, 49. The "Young And Beautiful" songstress and Dufrene exchanged vows on September 26th in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, at the bayou where he captains airboat tours for Airboat Tours by Arthur, according to People. Merely days prior, on September 23rd, they secured a marriage license from the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court.
In the wedding snaps shared by the Daily Mail, Del Rey can be seen in a breathtaking white, floor-length gown with a scooped neckline and ruffle detailing. Her caramel-colored tresses were elegantly tied back with the help of a blue ribbon. Del Rey has been acquainted with Dufrene since at least 2019.
Back then, she memorably posted pics on Facebook from one of his alligator tours. "Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours," she wrote in the caption. One source recently dished to People that the duo "reconnected earlier this year" after meeting five years ago.
"It's been kind of a whirlwind romance, but Lana's close friends hoped she would get married," they noted. The insider added: "Jeremy is different from the men that Lana meets in the entertainment world. He's a great guy. He's charming and charismatic in a Southern way, very much a gentleman and he treats Lana really well. She's an old soul."
