Priscilla Presley celebrated her 79th birthday alongside her granddaughter Riley Keough and other close family and friends on Saturday.
The ex-wife of legend Elvis Presley — whose historic home Graceland was recently in danger of being sold — was seen in a black patterned sweater and slacks to her dinner party in the collage posted by her son, Navarone Garcia on Instagram.
She wore her signature red lock parted to the side and wore a casual makeup look that made her red lip and blue eyes pop.
Her party was one to remember as she posed next to a cake that displayed an image of the businesswoman and her son that read ‘Happy Birthday Priscilla Presley.’
The now 79-year-old was seen in a snap accompanied by her granddaughter Riley who bears a striking resemblance to the late Lisa Marie Presley, Priscilla’s daughter.

Riley looked radiant in a long white dress shirt and cream toned floor-length skirt as she greeted other guests.
She styled her honey-brown locks in a low ponytail while sporting a light makeup look that made her natural beauty shine through.
The birthday girl enjoyed the evening while jamming out at the DJ booth and taking a shot at her remixing skills.
‘Happy Happy HAAAAPIEST of birthdays to the best mama in the whole world @priscillapresley, hope you enjoyed your night last night. I love you so so much thank you to everyone that came, and everyone that put everything together, and @chrisameruoso for the [photos],’ Garcia wrote in the caption.
The post was a hit with fans racking up over 2k likes and 235 comments.
Supportive fans took to the comments to express their congratulations as one wrote, ‘Your mom looks wonderful! So glad to see her surrounded by so much love. I hope she had a great day celebrating her 79th birthday.’
Another top commenter added, ‘I hope she had a birthday as beautiful as her!’
The birthday party comes as Elvis’ Tennessee Graceland estate faced a foreclosure risk.
And now the FBI is reportedly investigating the attempted ‘fraudulent’ sale of Graceland, the former home and burial site of Elvis.
Sources told TMZ that officials at Graceland and people from Riley’s camp, who is the sole trustee of her grandfather’s estate, have been in touch with the FBI.
The outlet reported that the agency are ‘interested’ in launching a criminal probe into the sale.

The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s Memphis estate was due to go under the hammer this week until Keough launched a legal bid to block the sale.
Her lawyer Jeff Germany told a court there are ‘significant serious allegations regarding the authenticity’ of documents supposedly showing that her late mom Lisa Marie Presley borrowed $3.8million using Graceland as collateral.
The alleged loan was taken through a Missouri company called Naussany Investments and Private Lending.
Germany told the court he had had ‘no contact’ whatsoever with Nassauny, any lawyers acting on its behalf, or from its supposed boss Kurt Naussany.
That left it a straightforward decision for Chancellor JoeDae Jenkins who said it was in the ‘public interest’ to uphold a temporary restraining order blocking the proposed Thursday 10am sale on the steps of the courthouse.
‘The court will enjoin the sale as requested because the real estate is considered unique under Tennessee law and, in being unique, the loss of the real estate would be considered irreparable harm,’ he told the ten-minute hearing.
The one-page fax signed by Gregory E. Naussany and received by the court today, said: ‘I respectfully deny the allegations made by Danielle Riley Keough. I believe the claims made against Naussany Investments & Private Lending are unfounded.’
He said his firm was ‘prepared to provide evidence and arguments’ in its defense when the matter proceeds to trial.
On Wednesday, the mystery lender Gregory Nassauny told DailyMail.com that the case was too complicated and that he had given up the fight for the mansion.
In response to an email sent to an address on the court papers, a man purporting to be Nassauny told DailyMail.com said he was ‘withdrawing all claims with prejudice.’
This week’s legal drama marked the second time Keough has gone to court to establish herself as Graceland’s owner after a 2023 legal spat with her grandmother Priscilla
They tussled over a 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie’s will that removed Priscilla as a trustee but a judge ruled the paperwork was legit and that Keough was the Suspicious Minds crooner’s sole trustee
The shadowy outfit claimed that Lisa Marie, who died in January 2023, aged 54, defaulted on the loan.
Naussany intended to claw back the funds by selling off Graceland, its note said.
Prior to Wednesday’s hearing, lawyers for the Mad Max: Fury Road actress obtained a temporary restraining order to block the ‘non-judicial sale’, arguing that the supposed loan never happened and the documents were ‘forgeries’.

Elvis bought the eight-bed Graceland estate in 1957 for $102,500, the same year he released Jailhouse Rock, one of 18 songs of his that went to number one.
He and Priscilla had Lisa Marie nine months to the day after their 1967 wedding and she spent her earliest years at her father’s sprawling compound.
Elvis and Priscilla divorced six years later but Lisa Marie would frequently return to Memphis to stay and would eventually inherit Graceland after her dad died there in 1977.

The Graceland estate is an iconic symbol of arguably the greatest pop culture figure of all time
The property was eventually turned into a money-spinning tourist attraction hosting a museum, $200 VIP tours and candlelit vigils to mark each anniversary of the rock and roll icon’s death, attracting 650,000 visitors annually and soaring in value to $100 million.
Lisa Marie died in January 2023, at the age of 54, after suffering a cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California.
It was later found that she died from a ‘small bowel obstruction’ caused by a bariatric surgery that she had undergone according to the autopsy.
Last year Priscilla confirmed it is her wish to be buried next to her late ex-husband Elvis on his Graceland estate when she dies.
Elvis, Lisa Marie and her son Benjamin are all buried at Graceland.
