You may not be able to pick out a Lana Del Rey song on the radio, but if you've been paying even the least bit of attention to magazines and other media over the past year, chances are that you could spot the singer only by seeing her hair. As a critics' darling, Lana Del Rey has made waves with her music (best described as equal parts Nancy Sinatra and Hope Sandoval) but it's her hot hipster hairstyle that has made her an international sensation. Looking like an Instagram dream, the sultry songstress is winning over fans and dominating both indie and mainstream radio playlists. Check out the following pics to see what all the hype is about.
With the same 1970s inspiration, this Lana Del Ray blonde look takes things to a more casual level. Del Ray's fascination with the era can be seen in both her hair and her music, both of which take take discreet and not-so-subtle cues from the AM radio sounds and popular fashion of the times. This particular hairstyle is more Hawaiian princess than New York indie queen and fits well with the relaxed tempo of hits like Blue Jeans, Born to Die, or Video Games. Somehow with a style like this, Lana Del Rey manages to keep an air of elegance without the impression that she has spent hours fixing her hair.
In this last pic, the emerging starlet shows that she is able to pull off any hair color with the same aplomb. Brown is Lana Del Rey's natural color and works best when she opts for the flat hippie look with just a tease of waves at the ends. This last look is how the torch singer is often seen on stage and one of the reasons why her concerts have been selling out in record times. Evoking innocence, beauty, and a sexiness just beneath the surface, this style will probably be the one that helps Lana Del Rey avoid being labeled as little more than a retro revivalist. As the warmer weather of spring starts bringing out more free-flowing hair all over the country, expect to see this look everywhere.
