"White Dress" is a song by American singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey from her seventh studio album, Chemtrails over the Country Club
The accompanying music video was directed by Constellation Jones and filming took place at Hicksville Trailer Palace.
Del Rey confirmed the title with Interview in September 2020, stating that the song would be a "defining moment" for the album: "What I like about that song is that despite all the freakiness over it, you understand exactly what it’s about when it ends. I hate when I hear a song that has a great melody, but I have no idea what they're talking about".[1]
The official music video was directed by Constellation Jones.[2] It has an official length of 5:47 and was shot at Hicksville Trailer Palace.[3] It features a woman rollerskating and representing 19-year-old Del Rey.[4] The video was shot in December 2020 and was intended to have Del Rey roll around on roller skates, however, the idea was scrapped due to Del Rey sustaining elbow injuries before shooting. A body double shot the roller skating scenes instead.[5] The video was released on March 19, 2021, coinciding with the release of the song and album.
Prior to the song's release the song was described as "one of the saddest in her career", which circles back to her "Lizzy Grant" days.[6] The song's vocals have been compared to "In My Feelings" on her 2017 album "Lust for Life", and "Stargirl Interlude".
Upon release, Mojo described the song as being sung in a "breathlessly rapt whisper" of being "only nineteen".[7]
