Lana Del Rey recently found fashion inspiration in a unique place: her friend's wedding.
The musician was honored at Billboard's Women in Music event on Wednesday, receiving the visionary award to celebrate her 14-year career.
She wore a yellow, paisley-print gown designed by Zimmermann at the event, and later revealed on Instagram that it was inspired by of her best friend, Victoria Kofoed.
"I promised my Bestie, that if I got to wear the same dress she wore for her wedding that I would do a side-by-side," Del Rey wrote on Instagram, alongside black-and-white photos of her and Kofoed wearing the same dress.

"I couldn't quite do her justice, but I needed an excuse to post her beautiful wedding pictures anyways," Del Rey continued in her post. "Congratulations, Vic."
She also included a line from her poem "What Happened When I Left You," which is featured in her book and spoken-word album "Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass."
"In Zimmerman with sandals, on one summer dress to choose," the poem says.

The lace, semi-sheer dress — which retails for $3,150 — had a high neckline, long puffy sleeves, and an ankle-length skirt.
The two latter pieces were embellished with hanging floral pieces, and a yellow belt was added at her waist. She completed the look with gold sandals.
