There’s no doubt Priscilla Presley is one of the most iconic Hollywood stars of the ’80s and ’90s. Besides marrying Elvis Presley, The Naked Gun actress has made fans fall in love with her effortless beauty, trendy style and overall electrifying personality.

Priscilla divorced the late “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll” in 1973, four years before his death. The pair had one child together, daughter Lisa Marie Presley, whom they welcomed in 1968. Priscilla became a grandma when Lisa Marie had four children of her own, Riley Keough and late son Benjamin Keough, with ex-husband Danny Keough and twins Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood, with her fourth ex-husband, Michael Lockwood. Lisa Marie died in January 2023 from a small bowel obstruction.

Priscilla also welcomed one son, Navarone Garibaldi, with her ex-boyfriend, Marco Garibaldi, in 1987.

2022

Priscilla attended the Met Gala with the cast of Elvis, the biographical musical starring Austin Butler in the titular role. Olivia DeJonge, who portrays Priscilla in the film, and director Baz Luhrmann, joined the businesswoman on the red carpet on fashion’s biggest night. Priscilla looked gorgeous in a sleek black Prada gown with glimmering gold accents, a black hat and gold heels. While chatting with La La Anthony on the red carpet, the New York native shared that she “loves” the film and believes it is “a movie for everyone.”

Throughout 2022, Priscilla shined during several red carpet events. After the Met Gala, she joined the Elvis cast at the 75th Cannes Film Festival in France in May 2022 and later at the Graceland premiere of the film in June 2022. While her incredible fashion moments left everyone speechless, the mom of two was just happy to see her late ex-husband’s story be told in a new light.

“I’ve seen Elvis, the film. I watched the trailer over a dozen times. But the words I heard from my daughter on how much she loved the film, and that Riley will love it too when she sees it brought tears,” the Spin City actress wrote on Instagram. “I relived every moment in this film. It took me a few days to overcome the emotions as it did with Lisa.”
