In this paper, the visual narratives of Lana Del Rey’s “National Anthem” and “Candy Necklace” are selected to illuminate how she represents the interplay between the themes of self-exploration, female desire, identity struggle, and sociocultural norms within the context of chasing love, fame, and power. The incorporation of haptic visuality and the deliberate use of old-styled cinematography in her videos allow the audience to engage with the viewing experience sentimentally. Her engagement with tragic and glamorous female figures allows her to explore the vulnerability behind the Hollywood facade and American society, questioning the cost of conforming to societal ideals.
