Lisa Marie Presley’s Changing Looks (and Husbands)

Lisa Marie Presley's changing looks throughout her life

The world is mourning the loss of legend Elvis’ only child and sole heir, Lisa Marie Presley. Born in 1968, the little girl who lost her father at age 9 had a life spent in the spotlight, scrutinized by the press and complicated by Scientology, multiple marriages, odd lawsuits, the tragic suicide of her son and other troubling circumstances. She passed away on January 12 at age 54 due to a cardiac arrest, leaving most of the world in shock and sadness.

Lisa Marie Presley’s Changing Looks

A singer and songwriter who has three studio albums to her credit, Lisa was married four times and had four children, the first of whom, Benjamin, took his own life in 2020. In honor of “National Grief Awareness Day” in August 2022, she penned a poignant and personal essay on grief for People magazine about her experience.

Although her striking features were undeniably passed down from her beautiful parents, Elvis and Pricilla, Lisa was a constant chameleon when it came to her own appearance. Lisa Marie Presley’s changing looks, her hair colors and styles, makeup and fashions transformed her into everything from a raven-haired beauty to a punker, a hippie, a cowgirl and a glam queen.
