Taxi for Elizabeth! A dressed-down Lana Del Rey ditches the onstage persona and glamour as she’s picked up from the airport
|
On Thursday evening she dressed to impress fully embracing her pop star persona, going by her stage name – Lana Del Rey.
But on Friday there was no sign of the singer and in her place was Elizabeth Grant, who was picked up by a driver carrying a placard bearing her real name.
Leaving the glamour of the night before behind, a dressed-down and coy looking Lana tried to sneak through the London airport unnoticed.
Lana who? Lana Del Rey arrived in London from Berlin on Friday and tried to go unnoticed
Working the lumberjack look, which is a favourite for the Born To Die songstress, the 26-year-old wore a red and black check shirt with a pair of skintight jeans.
Opting for comfort she slipped into a pair of white trainers, while the only sign of glamour came from her designer handbag.
Her shiny dark hair appeared to be un-styled and the usually very made up New Yorker appeared to be just wearing just a slick of black eyeliner.

On arrival in London from Germany Lana, whose full name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, stopped to pick up a coffee and panini before meeting her driver and heading off.
Her look was a far cry from Thursday evening when she made sure she stood out from her international and German contemporaries as she opted for some very eye-catching hair clips, on the red carpet at Germany's Echo Awards on Thursday night.
She pinned back her dark brown locks with a flamboyant pair of bejewelled crocodile shaped clips.

Her matching crocodile bracelet certainly drew attention away from her low-cut white draped gown, while swamped her slim figure.
The Born To Die star ended up winning two awards at Germany's answers to the Grammys and Brit Awards - Best International Newcomer and Best International Female Pop/Rock Artist.
On the red carpet, Lana joined former France First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, who was one of the performers on the night.

The two women looked like they were getting on famously as they chatted about music on the red carpet.
In contrast to Lana's gown, Italian-French model Carla went for an androgynous look in a trouser suit.
Representing the UK were Scottish singer Emeli Sande and Katie Melua.
Double winner: Lana ended up winning in both categories she was nominated in - best international rock/pop artist and international newcomer
Brunette gang: Lane accepted her best artist international rock/pop accolade from Carla
Side heavy: British singer Katie Melua wore a mini dress with a very heavy draping hanging off it as she arrived with husband James Toseland
Emeli, who missed out on Best International Pop/Rock Female Artist and International Newcomer to Lana, arrived solo and posed in a white blazer and blue pencil skirt.
Meanwhile, Katie wore an unusual dress, which appeared to have a very heavy piece of draping hanging off it, as she arrived with her new husband, superbike champion James Toseland.
Also in attendance was Canadian crooner Michael Buble.
