Priscilla Presley has staying power. Although she never exactly had an entertainment career of her own, she married the King himself, Elvis Presley.
Now, more than 50 years after marrying Elvis, Priscilla is still an icon. After Baz Luhrmann’s new biopic, Elvis, hit theaters this summer, Priscilla’s impact on American culture is becoming all the more apparent.
One of her biggest impacts involves popular fashion. Priscilla’s looks were dissected and emulated during her marriage to Elvis. She recently did a video with Vogue where she looked at 15 of her most iconic photos and discussed their history.
The two were always dressed to the nines. Part of their coordination seems to have been an accident.
Both Elvis and Priscilla had formal-leaning styles. Priscilla often opted for “dressy” outfits. According to Priscilla, no matter what she picked, “It always seemed to go exactly with what Elvis had.”
