It was in 1967 that Priscilla Beaulieu, aged 21, married the king of rock’n’roll. After having courted her years before, during her time in the army, Elvis Presley propelled the young ingenue to the forefront of the media by making her his wife. Dressed in a lace sleeved dress encrusted with pearls, a rhinestone tiara and a bouffant to rival any bouffant, the couple tied the knot at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas and a star of the fashion was born.

After six years of marriage, the couple divorced in 1973 and soon after, Priscilla, delighted to be going into business, opened a boutique in Beverly Hills. With Olivia Bis, her business partner and stylist, “Bis & Beau” was a hit, garnering a high-end celebrity clientele that counted Cher, Liza Minelli and Natalie Wood as loyal customers. The store was closed three years later.

By this time, Presley had ditched the rocker womenswear of the 1960s for a more bohemian, typical 1970s vibe. dress. That’s when Presley dropped her stacked beehive and instead unleashed her styled waves.

Her next makeover came in the following decade. Presley, who now appears regularly in film and television, changed her look to an exuberant 1980s appeal. Jumpsuits by day and then ruffled and sequined dresses by evening were her routine. In the 1990s, Presley began experimenting with more androgynous silhouettes in favor of the feminine basics people were used to seeing her in. Boxy, tailored jackets and suits were becoming a mainstay for the actress.

Throughout the 21st century, Presley has maintained glamour, while retaining influences inspired by menswear. At the Met Gala, she arrived on the arm of Austin Butler who plays her former husband in the biopic. For the event, she donned head-to-toe Prada silk with a chunky headband reminiscent of her 1960s hair, which became an inspiration to Lily Collins and Lana del Rey.

A few weeks later, she seduced the crowds again, this time at the Cannes Film Festival to promote the film. Standing out against the breathtaking backdrop of the French Riviera, Presley exuded movie star glamor in a baroque-inspired Versace print blouse. This queen of style really never stopped rocking.
