Lana Del Rey isn’t always at the top of the list when it comes to pop-star fashion — but we think she should be.

Ahead of the singer’s first headlining performance at Coachella 2024, take a look back at an eventful decade of her live-show style, featuring — you guessed it — lots of big hair and white dresses.
