The dim hotel room lighting seemed to cast a shadow over Del Rey's face, which probably contributed to her changed appearance. Plus her short, Blair Waldorf-esque hairdo and edgy makeup also seemed to be a factor in the singer's appearance.

Still, when compared to the cover of her July 2017 album "Lust for Life," the singer looks almost unrecognizable.

Although Del Rey looked totally different in her recent selfie, her fans didn't seem to notice or acknowledge the change.

That said, it's easy to see why Del Rey's fans loved her look.

The singer's winged eyeliner was precise, clean, and overdramatic — just as one would expect from her. She brought her signature dark aesthetic to her floral outfit with a touch of taupe lipstick and what appears to be red eyeliner along her waterline, both of which may have contributed to her unexpected look.

But, to be honest, it doesn't really matter how or why Del Rey's look changed — and we think she looks great either way.
