Not only did Riley Keough bring her grandmother, Priscilla Presley as a surprise plus one to last night's 75th Emmy Awards [15 January, 2024], but she paid homage to her as well via an iconic 60s-inspired hairstyle.
The pair stepped out onto the coveted red carpet arm in arm looking as alike as ever. Riley was seen to be sporting her freshly dyed black hair which contributed to the family resemblance, however, if the colour of her locks itself wasn't enough to resemble Priscilla's from the Swinging Sixties, the actor styled her lengths half-up, half-down topped with a hair bow.
Gregory Russell, the hairstylist behind the look, also shared a few self-shot snaps of Riley's glam on Instagram.
Ordinarily, this would be a hairstyle to gush over but what makes it so reminiscent is the fact that it's an almost duplicate look of Pricilla's from her and her late husband Elvis' wedding day circa 1967.
Minus a few inches off of the bouffant beehive, Riley and Pricilla's hairstyles are one of the same, wouldn't you agree?
Whether intentional or not, there's no denying that the pair look almost identical both then and now, making for a sweet moment as they graced the red carpet together.
