Lisa Marie Presley is facing a special tribute one year after her death. Fans all around the world are flocking to Graceland to honor the life and legacy of Elvis and Priscilla Presley’s only child.
In honor of what would have been her 56th birthday this month, an extended exhibit at Elvis Presley’s Graceland features items from throughout Lisa Marie’s life.
The exhibit, titled “Lisa Marie: Growing Up Presley,” features never-before-seen home videos and photos of the late star as a child, and items from her childhood such as her baby footprints, personal golf cart, record player, roller skates, and clothing.
Other childhood belongings include school yearbooks, report cards, and school photos. In addition to showcasing articles from her childhood, the exhibit also features items from Lisa Marie’s adult life.
Visitors will be able to browse through 45 different outfits worn by her, including the dress she wore to the 2023 Golden Globes during her last public outing.
The exhibit also features Christmas cards she sent, the stationery she used, her first headshots from when she was in her 20s, and more sentimental items she kept in her home.
This exhibit is not only celebrating her birthday, but also commemorating the first anniversary of her death in January 2023. Lisa Marie passed away on Jan. 12, just two days after attending the Golden Globes alongside her mom, Priscilla Presley.
The two were there to celebrate the nomination of the film “Elvis,” which chronicled the life of her father, legendary rock singer, Elvis Presley.
She left behind three kids, actress and singer Riley Keough, and twin daughters, Harper and Finley.
In 2020, her son, Benjamin Keough, died by suicide at the age of 27. Riley is set to record the audiobook for her mom’s memoir, which she helped complete following her passing.
The book is set to bring readers closer to who Lisa Marie truly was, more than “Elvis’ daughter,” according to Riley.
