In October 2020, Lana Del Rey drew criticism for wearing a sparkly mesh face mask to a crowded fan event in Los Angeles, when coronavirus case numbers were on the rise. She defended the accessory on Twitter, writing, “The mask had plastic on the inside. They’re commonly sewn in by stylists these days. I don’t generally respond to articles because I don’t care. But there ya go. Same goes for everyone’s masks in my video. I’m lucky enough to have a team of people who can do that.”

The “video” she's talking about is probably for her song “Chemtrails Over the Country Club,"”which she dropped in early January. And yes, in the video she's wearing the same mesh mask. (Production for the video seemed to happen before October's mask-gate controversy.)
In the retro-style video, Del Rey drives, applies makeup, and accessorizes her outfit with pearls and the mask.
