Priscilla Presley is often remembered best for her signature black bouffant hairstyle and sharp cat-eye look, but she also had a killer sense of style. From her flowy, pearl-encrusted wedding gown to the highlighter pink collared dress she wore after the birth of Lisa Marie Presley, Priscilla was a fashion icon in her own right next to Elvis. And with Sofia Coppola's new biopic out in theaters now, it proves our point even more. Ahead, some of Priscilla's most iconic looks through the Elvis-era years—and the modern way to dress like her.

Preppy Priscilla

At just 16 years old, Priscilla looked elegant in a figure-flattering printed dress and matching mini cape with elbow-length leather gloves, sparkly chunky bangle, and oversized clutch—all pieces that still translate well today.

Boho Babe

At the start of the 1970s—around the time she and Elvis divorced—Priscilla's signature look of the Elvis-era '60s shifted dramatically. She ditched her bouffant and intense eye makeup for a voluminous blowout and natural glam. Her fashion also changed with the times: here she looked every part the hippie in a patchwork dress.
