Young and Beautiful" is a song by Lana Del Rey about a young lover's apprehension about aging. The black-and-white music video from 2013 shows Del Rey singing in an art deco style alongside a full string orchestra, with glittery tears on her face. The video has no narrative, instead focusing on Del Rey's performance shots as she expresses the emotions of the lyrics. Lighting is used to highlight Del Rey's figure while obscuring the orchestra members, portraying her as appealing to the audience.
