Riley Keough’s New Bangs Pay Homage to Grandma Priscilla Presley

Riley Keough channels her grandmother Priscilla Presley with her new retro bangs.

Riley Keough, the eldest granddaughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, just debuted a stunning new hairstyle that’s giving us major retro vibes. Known as a modern It Girl, Keough’s latest look is a heartfelt nod to the original It Girl in her family – her grandmother Priscilla Presley.

On June 2, the actress revealed her new hairstyle on Instagram, posting photos of her look for a Hulu panel for her show Under The Bridge. But it wasn’t just her acting chops that stole the spotlight – her fresh set of bangs did, too.

Keough’s thick, full fringe is a departure from the long, face-framing layers we’ve been seeing her with and grown to love. These bangs aren’t blunt, but they aren’t quite as wispy as traditional curtain bangs either. 

Instead, they strike a perfect balance, parting slightly in the middle and falling just above her brows. It’s like a dense curtain bang with a unique twist, adding a touch of curl that frames both sides of her forehead.

Styled by the talented Mark Townsend, Keough’s new bangs have a distinctly ’60s feel. They’re an effortless blend of classic and relaxed, echoing the iconic style of Priscilla Presley back in the day. It’s a style move that feels both nostalgic and fresh, and we’re totally here for it.

The new bangs not only round off Keough’s face, highlighting her heart-shaped jawline, but also bring a playful vibe to her look. Where her previous center-parted layers highlighted her elongated bone structure, these bangs add a cute, retro charm that’s simply irresistible. And let’s be real – she looks stunning either way.

It’s not just about the look, though. Keough’s style choice feels deeply personal and respectful, celebrating the timeless influence of her grandmother. By channeling Priscilla, Keough is embracing her heritage while setting a new trend. We’re calling it now: Priscilla Presley bangs are about to be everywhere this summer.
