Priscilla Presley’s life has always been illuminated by the spotlight, making the actress the topic of fascination for many. The former wife of Elvis Presley has always led her life glamorously, which translated into her wardrobe.
Priscilla & Elvis Presley’s Wedding
One of her most memorable outfits was her wedding dress. On May 1, 1967, Priscilla married Elvis at the Aladdin hotel in Las Vegas in an eight-minute ceremony. Priscilla’s dress was white and embellished with pearls with long see-through lace sleeves. Atop her quaffed updo sat a 3-foot veil and rhinestoned tiara. The dress was found humbly at a department store.
