When we first meet Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla Presley, we see her as a 14-year-old. With her innocence came a fitting appearance. From her curly hair to her heart-shaped choker, Spaney embodied the role of Priscilla at a young age, with a seraphic look.

As she leaves her hometown to move into Graceland, we start to see the Priscilla we all know and love. We get a good picture of the sweet, angelic girl she was to the dark, feminine woman Elvis Presley molded her into.

This is the Priscilla that everyone recognizes, with doll-eyed makeup and black voluminous hair. Many have recreated these infamous looks that just so happen to be featured in the film.

From day-to-day looks to nightwear, Priscilla keeps her style timeless and elegant. She always has her hair fluffy and blown out, wearing silk, mesh vintage nightgowns, that showcase her innocence.

Intricate lace detailing and frilly seams display purity in her appearance reflecting both her character and the phase of life she was experiencing.

The most awaited part of the film was Elvis and Priscilla’s marriage. Not only was Coppola able to find an on-theme wedding gown. From the top to the bottom, she used the accuracy of Priscilla’s special day to embody a new version of it.

The dress had beautiful lace details on the sleeves and bodice, capturing and embracing her delicate essence. With a high neckline exuding modesty, they left the audience in awe with an on-point wedding look.

From real life to on-screen, Cailee Spaeny transformed into Elvis’ ideal woman. With daisies wrapped around her hair, she manifested her virtue. A simple white dress adorned with flowers and a high neckline was complemented by alluring doll-like eyes.

Priscilla Presley has kept her looks modest, classic, and of course, fashionable. She is memorable for her delicate dresses, big hair, dark, enthralling eyes, and innocent energy.

Priscilla has a captivating appearance that everyone desires. But, more special, is her warm heart. When drawing inspiration from her looks, bear this in mind—use your creativity to recreate it—but stay true to yourself.
