Priscilla Premiere and Photocall, Venice Film Festival 2023

Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi, Sofia Coppola

I'm sure the height difference here works a bit for the film, in that at one point Cailee IS playing a 14 year old girl, but at some point, Sofia must have put her on a box. (She's not even five feet tall, apparently.) Also: Are Jacob's pants somehow...ever slightly too LONG????

Cailee Spaeny

This is pretty, but this and her photocall dress -- which is at the end of this slideshow -- both say to me, "you are very petite and look young so we're going to try to counter that by putting you in kinda mature looks."

Cailee Spaeny

The back of this is lovely, though.

Sofia Coppola

This ALSO feels sort of....beautiful but mature for Sofia, who is one of my personal style icons. I keep giving photos of her hair to my stylist, who then keeps pointing out that Sofia has like....70% more hair than I do.

Priscilla Presley

PP looks totally professional here, and also honestly looked rather sad in the photos I saw; she might just have Resting Sad Face but also it makes sense that she is sad now, because she's had a terrible year with Lisa Marie's death and her (apparently now resolved) legal issues with Riley. I hope this family can get some peace.

Denny Méndez

TONAL SHIFT KLAXON: This is fun.

Ludovica Coscione

Venice: Now officially as leggy as Cannes is! And good for them.

Farhana Bodi

Honestly, this is also very bombastic and fun and Cannes-y.

Bella Thorne

This might need a little hoik, but overall, Bella looks great!

Bella Thorne

And her shoe choice was surprising and fun.

Rocío Munoz Morales

Similar -- and, honestly, perfect.

Hofit Golan

Is it a bedspread? Is it a cape? WHO CAN SAY!

Arianna Montefiori

SURPRISE: I love this. (Not actually a surprise.)

Caterina Murino Madrina

I enjoy this, but is it....TOO striped???

Raissa Russi, Mohamed Ismail Bayed

For a moment, I thought she was Catherine Zeta Jones!

Sara Cavazza

ZINGY! (I dig it.)

Jacob Elordi, Sofia Coppola, Cailee Spaeny and Priscilla Presley

Everyone here looks like they're going to a business lunch, except for Cailee, and I think Cailee would look GREAT in Professional Business Lunch Boat Attire!

I actually low-key wish she'd worn this to the premiere, and gone for like...wide-legged pants etc etc for the photocall.

Sofia Coppola

I wish I were wearing this right now.
