Riley Keough recently stunned in a plunging sheer outfit. Fans marveled at the resemblance Keough shares with her late mom and grandad.
Hollywood actress Riley Keough, 34, looked gorgeous in the black dress she wore to attend this year’s Emmys. The ensemble with glamourous pearl and diamante detailing had a plunging neckline, which left Riley’s décolletage exposed.
The bottom half of the dress had a sheer veil covering a black and silver patterned skirt. She paired her Chanel look with chic black heels, dangling diamond earrings, and a silver reflective clutch bag.

Other people who continued to comment on the physical similarity between Riley and her late grandad pointed out specific features.

More than just sharing similar features, Riley had a close bond with her mother and a deep reverence for her grandfather. Such bonds and manners of respect prompted Riley to honor her late mother one year after her demise by helping to finish and publish the memoir Lisa had worked on before she passed away on January 12, 2023.
While speaking about her mom’s memory, legacy, and the book, which is set for release on October 15, Riley divulged, “Few people had the opportunity to know who my mom really was, other than being Elvis’s daughter. I was lucky to have had that opportunity and working on preparing her autobiography for publication has been a privilege, albeit a bittersweet one…”
As for how Riley has honored her late grandfather, she gave her daughter a name that bears sentimental significance to Elvis: Tupelo Storm Smith-Petersen. Her daughter’s first name — Tupelo — is the same name as the “Burning Love” singer’s birthplace in Mississipi.
Of the unique name that rose to prominence after the huge success of the “Elvis” movie, Riley disclosed, “It’s funny because we picked her name before the ‘Elvis’ movie. I was like, ‘This is great because it’s not really a well-known word or name in relation to my family…Then the ‘Elvis’ movie came out, it was like, Tupelo this and Tupelo that…”

Last year, Riley followed in her granddad’s musical footsteps when she starred alongside Sam Claflin in “Daisy Jones & The Six.” Interestingly, Riley admitted that she had to work at honing her musicality as opposed to it being a skill she naturally fell into: “I think we really came from not being able to play anything on a guitar or sing really…”
Riley Keough went on to explain that she and Claflin had ended up having months’ worth of jam sessions, and the two rehearsed for a long time as though they were in a real-life band.
