For the first time since 2014, Lana Del Rey has returned to headline one of the most iconic music festivals in Indio, California. 

Coachella 2024 marks a major milestone for Lana Del Rey fans, as it was announced earlier this year the “Summertime Sadness” singer was going to headline both weekends at the festival. 

Appearing in the valley for the first time in ten years, Lana Del Rey made a glamorous return wearing a sparkly blue dress with stunning silver boots to match.

What was she wearing? The most luxurious brands, of course. Her shimmering periwinkle blue dress was by Dolce & Gabbana, and those perfect sparkling silver boots with the red bottoms? You guessed it, Christian Louboutin

The singer has made some serious upgrades to her closet. In 2014, she appeared in a floral dress, frolicking with no shoes on, conversing with the audience, and even placing a kiss on one lucky fan in the crowd

Usually into floral prints and Priscilla Presley aesthetic outfits, the “West Coast” singer still kept in touch with the colors and themes of her older and newer albums. The blues and silvers show off the Americana and retro nostalgia vibe that Del Rey has portrayed in Lust for Life and Did You Know There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.

Besides the glitz and glamour, the singer gave an amazing performance, even bringing out a special guest. A total surprise to fans chanting in the valley, Del Rey brought out none other than Billie Eilish to perform by her side. 

The “What Was I Made For?” singer came out on stage in a long plaid shirt and baggy long jean shorts. Eilish also paired her wavy black hair with black glasses to match her casual look.

The duo performed two songs together. Del Rey and Eilish put on a duet of Eilish’s “Ocean Eyes” and Del Rey’s “Video Games.”

Eilish also praised Del Rey’s contributions to the music industry, stating, “[She] is the reason for half of you b**ches existence, including mine.”

Del Rey also had a few words about Eilish, expressing similar admiration for the “Happier Than Ever” singer. “That’s the voice of our generation, the voice of your generation, and I’m so f***ing grateful she’s standing next to me right now singing my favorite song,” the singer exclaimed.

After the duo’s performance and love for each other poured on stage, Del Rey went on to sing some more of her hit songs, including “Without You” and her cover of Sublime’s “Doin’ Time.”

Lastly, Del Rey had one of the most memorable entrances and exits of the weekend, riding around the audience on the back of a motorcycle. The singer even drove around through each section, blowing kisses to fans. Her fellow group of dancers were right there with her, appearing on the other motorcades, leaving the stage, lasting several minutes. 

To catch the iconic singer headline the valley one more time, tune into YouTube streaming or grab last-minute tickets to the music festival for Weekend Two, lasting April 19-21.
