'I was really nervous before, I was shaking', the 14-year-old said shyly after the show. 'But it was fun. I'm looking forward to the next one.'
Asked if performing was in her blood, Keough simply smiled at the floor, her 5-foot-5-inch frame looking tiny as a couple of towering 6-foot-6-inch models strode past.
Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, whose jeans sometimes sport as many rhinestones as one of Elvis' jumpsuits, met Keough at a fashion awards ceremony where her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, presented them with a prize.
'We were immediately struck by her beauty and fresh, pure spirit...With her mother's beauty and her grandfather's attitude she is sure to be a star', the designers said.
Keough will be back on the catwalk Saturday for the top line Dolce & Gabbana show but in the meantime doesn't plan to shake, rattle and roll with Milan's fashion posse.
Instead she is keeping firmly out of the public eye and doing what any smart teen-ager does in Milan - shopping with Dad - Lisa Marie Presley's first husband musician Danny Keough.
Riley Keough Elvis' Granddaughter To Rock The Catwalk
Will The Pelvis be reborn on the catwalk when Elvis Presley's granddaughter debuts as a model for Dolce & Gabbana's latest trend-setting fashions this week? Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the only designers who regularly command supermodels like Naomi Campbell to show their figure-hugging designs, plan to open both their Milan fashion week shows with Riley Keough, daughter of Lisa Marie Presley.
'With her mother's beauty and her grandfather's attitude, she is sure to be a star', said the design duo, whose studded jeans often boast as many rhinestones as an Elvis jumpsuit. It remains to be seen whether Keough will sashay around in blue suede shoes or convince buyers viewing the autumn/winter 2004 collections to say: 'I want you, I need you, I love you'.
