Presley continues to be beauty icon

The release of the movie biopic about Elvis Presley’s ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, has brought the legendary style of the American icon back into fashion.

According to a survey that examined consumer interest in her unique and inimitable style, it seems new generations are (re)-discovering and embracing the actress/model’s aesthetic, even though it might be far removed from today’s standards.

Gone are the 1990s and 2000s, now it’s the 1960s and 1970s which seem to be edging into the spotlight.

And with good reason: Priscilla Presley is proving popular, particularly among younger generations, who are drawing inspiration from fashion and beauty style to create new trends.

The release of the movie biopic based on her memoir Elvis and Me, published in 1985, is a driving force behind this renewed interest.

Sofia Coppola’s movie is reviving the unique style of the woman who spent nearly 15 years with the rock ’n roll legend.

The Priscilla movie, starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, focuses on this period.

The movie looks not only at how Elvis and Priscilla, then aged 14, met, but also at their relationship, marriage and separation.

All this inevitably showcases the young woman’s iconic style, including her sometimes eccentric hairstyles and make-up, and the legendary cat-eye eyeliner flick that became one of her beauty signatures.

It’s hardly surprising that these iconic looks are now the talk of social networking sites.

Users are sharing all kinds of tutorials inspired by Presley’s looks, and are searching out the accessories that contributed to the success of this very special style.

She isn’t just setting trends in the beauty sector, her outfits are also inspiring the young ones. –
