Vintage Style Icon: Priscilla’s Presley style
Following the birth of Lisa Marie, photographs show a much more relaxed Priscilla. The beehive hairstyle is replaced with loose, long locks no longer ebony in colour, but a more natural brown. She is pictured in an array of lower-maintenance outfits, often found wandering around Graceland in slacks and loose-fitting blouses. The designated colour palette was also stretched to accommodate many other colours, most frequently including violet and brown- previously unpermitted by a still Army-scarred Elvis.
As the marriage approached it’s final days, a more independent Priscilla peers into the camera lens, having shed her excessive eye-make-up, her stare was no longer that signature mix of black and blue. The couple was finally divorced on October 9th, 1973. Pictured leaving the Santa Monica Superior Court together moments after, Priscilla wears a calf-length coat covered in a large print, finally her own person.

interesting, never knew much about her.
Good job on this piece – Priscilla Presley. I have been a fan of her 60s – look for many years. Great to see someone else have picked up on this hidden fashion gem!
I adore her! I’ve been an Elvis fan for many years, so naturally I look up to Cilla. She’s still such a beauty today. Great story!
Priscilla – is such a doll ! I just love her! Also a Elvis Presley fan too for many many years and many more to come. (You were very strong Cilla).
