Riley Keough has officially been welcomed into the house of Chanel.
The Daisy Jones & the Six star, who is currently nominated for an Emmy as outstanding lead actress in a limited or anthology series for her work in the Prime Video adaptation, has been named a house ambassador, Chanel confirmed on Thursday. She will be photographed for the campaign of the spring-summer 2024 ready-to-wear collection by Virginie Viard.
The news comes hot on the heels of her appearance at the collection presentation earlier this week during Paris Fashion Week. She also attended Chanel’s cruise 2023/24 show in Los Angeles, the fall-winter 2023/24 haute couture show on the banks of the Seine in Paris. The 34-year-old joins a roster at Chanel that includes Kristen Stewart, Margot Robbie, Penélope Cruz, Lily-Rose Depp and Marion Cotillard.
Keough, styled by longtime friend Jamie Mizrahi, named as one of The Hollywood Reporter’s top stylists, has ties to Chanel that date back more than a decade. She’s worn Chanel at a slew of major events including the Golden Globes in Los Angeles on Jan. 8, 2017. To honor her nomination for the TV series The Girlfriend Experience, Keough wore an Art Deco-inspired accordion-pleat silk chiffon dress that reportedly was embroidered with 35,000 glass and crystal beads, sequins and silver metallic thread. “I always look for designs and shapes I’ve never seen before,” Keough told Vogue about that look.
Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, has been in the news a lot lately following the sudden passing of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley. Following a legal tussle with her grandmother, Priscilla Presley, Keough was named sole trustee of the estate. She also recently opened up to Vanity Fair about becoming a mother via surrogate, battling lupus and expanding her career as a producer by co-founding the production company, Felix Culpa.
Keough made her directorial debut with the critically acclaimed War Pony, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival where she was eventually awarded the prestigious Camera D’Or award. Under Felix Culpa, Keough has produced numerous films and TV series including Manodrome and the upcoming Under the Bridge, in which she will also star. Keough is also known for Zola, American Honey and Mad Max: Fury Road, among other films.
