Riley Keough has been a name in Hollywood since making her front-cover debut at only two weeks old, swaddled and cradled in her mother Lisa-Marie Presley’s arm. If being born into the Presley dynasty had any advantages, it’s that the constant furore surrounding the family prepared Keough for her name in lights.
Being Priscilla and Elvis Presley’s granddaughter might have piqued our interest initially—and blessed her with musical talents, which we saw play out in Daisy Jones And The Six—but the multi-hyphenate star has backed up every performance with cool-girl confidence and an astute mastery from her craft. Of course, off-screen Keough has proved she’s a fashion force to be reckoned with too.
After making her film debut in The Runways and breaking out with American Honey, Keough courted a slew of luxuriates like Louis Vuitton, with her off-duty and red carpet style synonymous with the romantic and avant-garde proportions of Nicolas Ghesquière. Now, a bona fide executive producer through her production company Felix Culpa, recent mother of one and ambassador of Chanel, Keough continues to shine as bright as the Christmas lights that wrap her family estate, Graceland, each festive season.
As Keough celebrates her 35th birthday, we trace a much-needed retrospective through the actress’ life in looks, from her nascent day as a nepo baby to a sartorial Hollywood star perpetually donned in French designers.
