The series hits close to home for Riley, who is the granddaughter of rock legend Elvis Presley. But, that’s not to say it means she’s continuing her family’s musical legacy in the series.
“I certainly wouldn’t put that pressure on it,” the 33-year-old told Los Angeles Times. “I don’t know if there is continuing my grandfather’s legacy, it’s its own sort of thing to me.”
However, that hasn’t stopped production from drawing inspiration from the musical icon, with a hidden tribute to Elvis found in one of the outfits.
Daisy Jones & The Six’s hidden connection to Elvis Presley
In an interview with People, series costume designer Denise Wingate confirmed that two coats pay a subtle tribute to the music icon and Riley’s grandfather, Elvis Presley.
“We didn’t talk about her family that much or her lineage–I was very respectful of her private life,” Denise told the publication. “But I did find this woman named Love Melody who made rock and roll clothes in the ’70s.”
“She actually made two jumpsuits for Elvis Presley, so I had her make two beautiful, long coats for the show. One is a denim-leather patchwork long coat and the other a beautiful rust leather.”
