Cannes Film Festival: Olivia DeJonge on Playing Priscilla Presley and Wearing Prada

Playing Priscilla Presley was a transformational experience for the actress, who was just 20 when filming began.

She worked with movement coach Polly Bennett to bring a “slower, more sensual and more self aware” sense of deliberateness to her composure on screen. “After we wrapped I carried a lot of that with me, and it was actually a real blessing to be able to lean into the importance of aesthetic, because it was for her, and to embrace that myself as a woman. I know it sounds a bit cliché, but it was a life changing experience. I came out more in touch with myself.

Cue teal jumpsuits and boxy pink bouclé reminiscent of some of Presley’s most famous photographs. They had several days of fittings then the costume department created test versions of the pieces. Those were sent off to Italy, which returned the more modern versions of the originals. More fittings ensued – like “days and days and days, I can’t imagine how many hours” – to perfect them.
