Lana Del Rey Subtly Shines in Diamonds at Variety Hitmakers Brunch

Lana Del Rey added a subtle touch of glamour to a cozy look when she attended Variety’s Hitmakers Brunch on Saturday in Los Angeles.

The music star, who was in attendance to present Jack Antonoff with Producer of the Decade, wore a low-key look consisting of a waffle knit sweater, slacks, and contrasting pointelle knit socks with her shoes. Del Rey completed her look with a diamond necklace and stacked huggie earrings, one of which contained a glittering drop stone. Del Rey also carried a black handbag at her shoulder.

The singer and songwriter posed next to Antonoff for photos after the ceremony, who wore a light brown suit by Carter Young with a white t-shirt. Antonoff was styled by Patricia Villirillo for the occasion, who also curates looks for his wife, actress and model Margaret Qualley.

Qualley and Antonoff’s marriage was name-checked by Del Rey in her introduction of Antonoff. The “Born to Diet” artist nodded to the couple as an inspiration for her own recent marriage to Louisiana boat captain Jeremy Dufrene. “I’m grateful for the example he gave me in his marriage to [Qualley],” Del Rey told the room, adding, “I saw the way he looked at her when he met her, and he’s a big reason why I waited so long to get married, and why I met my amazing husband.”

“I feel like there’s a singers’ curse around meeting an honest partner who has no skin in the game, no dog in the race,” Del Rey continued, adding, “It’s super nerve-wracking to hold on to an innocent perception of how things could go when you’re in an industry where maybe your values and your morals don’t quite match up with what’s going on. Especially when people think you probably don’t have any morals or values.”

Variety’s Hitmaker Brunch also honored Charli XCX as Hitmaker of the Year, and brought out Rachel Sennott, who presented Charli with her award, Olivia Rodrigo, Doechii, Babyface, Lainey Wilson, Reba McEntire, Caroline Polachek, and Laufey.
