Lana Del Rey, Indie Singer, Lands A Modeling Contract (PHOTOS)

Lana Del Rey took the indie blogosphere by storm in 2011. The mysterious singer's debut song, "Video Games" was a hipster hit, but equally buzzed about were Rey's spellbindingly gorgeous looks (and impossibly plump lips).

And now, Del Rey, 25, is adding "model" to her resume after signing a contract with Next Model Management, Elle UK reports.

Lana's had something of a nascent style career already: she's been dressed by Prabal Gurung and performed at parties sponsored by Mulberry, and "Video Games" was used as background music for spring/summer 2012 shows by Prabal, Christoper Kane and Emilio de la Morena.

2012 was already looking promising for Del Rey; she's set to release her LP Born 2 Die later this month. Perhaps she'll be adding a Prada campaign -- for real this time -- to her arsenal.

And if Del Rey becomes the next chanteuse-turned-fashion-muse, Florence Welch will have some friendly competition.

Anyone can have lips like hers for about $700 every three months. They're fake, just like her name and her hipster status. This woman is 100% marketing creation. Suckers.

I guess video really did kill the radio star.

She's definitely gorgeous, but why can't people ever stick to ONE thing? They always have to be models/singers/actresses AND design a clothes/home/makeup line.
