Riley Keough wows in a tweed Chanel maxi dress to promote her late mother’s memoir

Riley Keough took on a significant responsibility when she decided to complete her late mother Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir, *From Here to the Great Unknown*. This endeavor to share her mother’s thoughts and emotions has been remarkable, and the posthumous book, released this week, has already garnered glowing reviews. To promote it and help readers connect with the real Lisa Marie, beyond the celebrity facade, Keough has been on a promotional tour—looking absolutely stunning while doing so!

During a recent appearance on *Live With Kelly and Mark*, the *Under the Bridge* actress showcased an elegant, understated look. She wore a beautiful tweed maxi dress with a button-front design from Chanel’s 2025 Cruise Collection, which cleverly resembles a two-piece outfit with an A-line skirt and cropped blazer.

Riley has been quite active on social media, graciously acknowledging the overwhelming support for her work on *From Here to the Great Unknown*. She shared a clip on Instagram featuring various outfit changes (all of which were gorgeous, but her Chanel ensemble particularly caught everyone’s eye). One fan commented, “You are such a graceful old soul.” Her effortless style and beauty have received much praise from her followers.

While Keough certainly deserves all the compliments, the question remains: why did she choose to take on this project? She explained to *People*, “What she wanted to do in her memoir, and what I hope I’ve done in finishing it for her, is to go beneath the magazine headline idea of her and reveal the core of who she was.” She emphasized her goal of portraying her mother as a fully developed person—“the best mother, a wild child, a fierce friend, an underrated artist, frank, funny, traumatized, joyous, grieving, everything that she was throughout her remarkable life.” Keough aims to give her mother a voice that she felt was missing during her life.

Fans of Lisa Marie will recall that she had started writing her memoir before her unexpected death in 2023. The book covers various aspects of her life, including the heartbreaking loss of her son, Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020 at the age of 27. In a shocking choice, she decided to keep his body at her home on dry ice for two months before he was finally laid to rest at Graceland, where she would later be interred beside him.

This promotional journey has also led to an outpouring of love and support from fans on Keough’s Instagram. Many have praised her for beautifully bringing her mother’s story to life and highlighting her humanity. One fan expressed, “You have made your mother proud! You have represented her and her legacy with grace.” Another shared, “I hope that someday visiting Graceland gives you the comfort and peace it gave your mother.” Many readers have chimed in, saying, “Just finished the book. What an amazing job. It’s sad and mournful while also fun and funny.” Keough’s efforts have resonated deeply, making a meaningful connection with readers as they learn more about Lisa Marie Presley’s true self.
