Sofia Coppola's new Priscilla movie is finally out, and with it has come a wave of new interest in the titular star's life and aesthetic. Priscilla Presley, who has had quite the fascinating life between her military family upbringing, turbulent marriage to Elvis, and many decades under an intense public spotlight, is a veritable beauty and style icon, and she's finally getting the attention she deserves. Her signature mod makeup look inspired A24 and Half Magic to collaborate on a winged eye kit, plus her voluminous hairstyles remain a constant blueprint for anyone going for a beehive—but this movie moment (and the growing popularity of granddaughter Riley Keough, who's had her own big year thanks to Daisy Jones and the Six) has also brought new attention to how much her beauty and style have evolved through the eras. We're unpacking some of her most iconic fashion choices to help you recreate the looks for yourself—keep reading for 10 Priscilla Presley outfits inspired by her unforgettable style.

Mod Coquette

You've no doubt seen the wedding photos from Priscilla's marriage to Elvis, where her iconic beehive and winged liner took center stage in a look that entailed a crown, veil, and puff-sleeved gown. Her look for jetting off afterwards, though, stands out in our minds as timeless mod style inspo for any occasion—and the bow feels so timely alongside the coquette trend. Reinvent the ensemble for modern times with a T-shirt shift dress featuring a crystal bow, tomato girl-approved T-strap Mary Janes, and a statement shoulder bag from celeb-favorite emerging label Aupen.

For a photoshoot with Elvis and daughter Lisa Marie, Presley made a statement in a hot pink shift dress, which we think is perfect inspo to break out any Barbiecore pieces that have been sitting in your closet since summer. Pair a well-tailored style with metallic ballet flats and some whimsical statement earrings for a timeless, unapologetically feminine look.

By the mid-'70s, Presley's marriage to Elvis was over and she started experimenting with new aesthetics. We love this denim jacket and jeans combo, which she turned into a true Canadian tuxedo moment together with a tie and button-down shirt. Choose a denim silhouette you love, then customize it with studs or gems to your heart's content if you so desire.

During a day at her clothing store, Bis & Beau Boutique, Presley wore a floral keyhole top in a decidedly '70s palette, pairing it with a black midi skirt and brown Mary Janes. While she may have worn the look in the spring, we think the look would also feel right at home in fall thanks to the moody hues.

Presley had an unforgettable '70s style moment when she did a poolside photoshoot in this denim bikini with white rose designs. To achieve a similar vibe, we recommend pairing your denim-look swimsuit of choice with a lacy floral cover-up.

During the beginnings of her acting career, one of Presley's go-to outfits was a utilitarian jumpsuit. She paired this light blue version with a gold watch and a statement baseball cap, which we think is such a fun combo that couldn't be easier to throw on for a casual day of running errands.

Later during the same day on set of "Those Amazing Animals," Presley switched up her look by throwing a cardigan over the jumpsuit and adding a black cowgirl hat, and the transformation is impeccable capsule wardrobe styling inspo. We've included a pair of slouchy jeans in case you want to rock this as a separate outfit.

Statement Suiting

This movie premiere look that Presley rocked in the '90s strikes the perfect balance between power dressing and comfort with its padded shoulders, relaxed wide leg silhouette, and pairing with a leopard print top. A neutral suit and statement top make for an easy, versatile outfit formula that you can adapt to your own personal style.

Cue "Velvet Elvis" by Kacey Musgraves, but make it about Priscilla. The icon stunned in this matching set that toes the line between trendy cherry red and oxblood, pairing it with a furry scarf, chunky boots, and square sunglasses.

Soft Tailoring

Presley has been out and about lately in support of the Priscilla movie, and for a Chanel dinner celebrating the launch of the new Sofia Coppola Archive book, she stepped out in a stunningly soft take on classic tailoring. A puff-sleeved button-down blouse, silky wide leg trousers, and a patterned clutch came together for a moment that's simultaneously powerful and sweet.
