The exhibit deeply personalizes Lisa Marie’s connection to Graceland, showcasing items from her early years, such as her baby footprints and school keepsakes, to her adult life, including a cherished golf cart and roller skates. Highlighting her fashion influence, the exhibit displays 45 outfits she wore over the years, including the elegant dress from her last Golden Globes appearance, providing a poignant reminder of her style and public presence.
