This is Veronica Lake doing for promo for “I Married A Witch”, Lana’s white outfit is very similar. So I definitely think it was a hommage or referencing Veronica Lake.
 
Veronica Lake was born Constance Ockelman and changed her name when she came to Hollywood. She was known for blonde wavy hair and her style became very popular in the 40s. She struggled with alcoholism and while she didn’t die, her addiction did have to do with her leaving Hollywood to find recovery.
 
again many similarities to Lana’s story.

can’t get over how amazing this video is!!! this makes me so hungry for more tunnel visuals. i hope so bad that we get more 

I’ve been working all day so just now saw the video. I loved it. Definitely had a vibe of her earlier home made videos. I loved all the glam she brought back. She looked so beautiful with every single look and wardrobe change. I loved hearing some of the extended music with the track too. I love the darkness and noir of the whole thing. We need a whole album with that vibe. She’s still capable of going there and it makes me so happy. 

I used to think that the 'old men' in her previous videos were referring to her "taste for men who are older"
 
And now once again the old man appears out of nowhere just like in West Coast and Shades of Cool 
 
I have no idea what does it mean but I'm sure it is very important to her  
 
This film is huge, just like Ride and Tropico. I was not expecting that after all these years  
 

I must admit that I wasn't expecting this much various outfits and different set locations.. just wow.. This video was more unexpected than AW's up-beat outro lol

WOW fucking amazing, what a creative and thought-provoking video. Lana is a genius, I had chills watching. Powerful and unsettling. Can't imagine complaining about the "BTS" it's literally the whole concept of the video lol

I had my 78 year old grandma watch the video (she adores Lana) and she CRIED 
she said, and I quote, “she knows exactly who she is” yess grandma. Leave those lights on for me gurl

iconic 

one of my fav videos from her… really intense and thought provoking 

ok but this video is amazing lmao
 
the layers of interpretation, how it echoes to many themes on her album and life/career 

I'm sorry but THE WAY SHE REMOVED HER BORN TO DIE WIG (persona) TO REVEAL A WIG (persona) REFERENCING THE RIDE MUSIC VIDEO WHILE ON THE ARM OF AN OLDER MAN TO REPRESENT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND HER DADDY ERA  
 
it's everything I wanted and more 

I need to play the Hollywood Bowl again it was the best  I'm too old for these nasty festivals

THIS SONGGGGGG 

And then there’s Donoghue (at the Lakers game)…

confirmed foot fetish! 

The hoops the cigarette the nails the long dark hair the summer dress…. I’m not gonna say it……….… 

She obviously looks so Iconic with the cigarette, but I kind of wish she didn’t smoke for obvious reasons. But it’s her body

Blue Banisters. I was thrown off by how wordy it was. Now I fully love and appreciate it as a classic Lana song. It's one of her grower songs.

Bel Air. I used to hate that song  Now I’m hoping for my first tattoo to be lyrics from this one 

Lana Del Rey Wanted to Sing With Joan Baez. But First, She’d Have to Find Her.
The musicians on the audition that changed them both — and the “secret to real success.”

Joan Baez: In 2019, Lana, whom I’d heard about from my granddaughter, Jasmine, invited me to sing with her in Berkeley. I said, “Why? Your audience could be my great-grandchildren.” And she said, “They don’t deserve you.”
Lana and I are sort of opposites. When I was starting out, I wouldn’t let anyone else onstage. I had two microphones — one for me, one for my guitar — and I stood barefoot, singing sad folk songs. I didn’t even write for the first 10 years, and she’s a songwriter.
I stopped singing three years ago; it was time to move on. After 60 years as a musician, I started painting. An artist friend said I need to loosen up and make mistakes so, if a painting isn’t working out, I dunk it twice in the swimming pool to see if it becomes something interesting. A hose will also do.
If people want to learn from me, I tell them to look beyond the music to my engagement with human and civil rights. My voice was what it was, but the real gift was using it. A documentary has just been made about me [“Joan Baez I Am a Noise,” 2023]. There’s footage of me marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Grenada, Miss., in 1966. At another point in the film, I mention in a letter to my parents that I want to save the world. Lana doesn’t make such grand political statements — at Berkeley, she brought me out to do it for her. And yet, amid the colorful chaos and glitter of her show, she was at one point, I believe, barefoot.
 
Lana Del Rey: I was having a show at Berkeley three years ago and wanted Joan to sing “Diamonds & Rust” (1975) with me. She told me she lived an hour south of San Francisco, and that if I could not only find her but also sing the song’s high harmonies on the spot, she’d do it. I was given a vague map to get to a house distinguishable only by its color and the chickens running in the yard. At one point during my audition, she stopped me with a steely look to let me know I didn’t get it right. By the end, she said, “OK, that’s good. I’ll sing with you.”
Midway through the performance, I said to the audience, “I have someone coming onstage who is the most generous-of-spirit singer I know, and the most important female singer of the ’60s and ’70s, and we’re gonna do ‘Diamonds & Rust’ together.” After the show, we went to an Afro-Caribbean two-step club, and she told me not to stop dancing until she did. That’s what my song “Dance Till We Die” (2021) is about. 
I think the secret to real success is to make sure you’re always emotionally intact. I learned that from Joan. I recently said to her, “I just want you to know that I’m keenly aware that, in this lifetime or any other, I have no right to be standing shoulder to shoulder with you.” And she replied, “Oh, shut up.”
