In "Priscilla," it's Elvis's idea for Priscilla to die her hair black and wear dark makeup, and when he takes her shopping, he has strong ideas about what she should and shouldn't wear. And Priscilla writes about all of that in her book. Elvis thought black hair went best with blue eyes, so he wanted him and Priscilla to both have it, and he would get mad if she wasn't wearing enough makeup. The few times she ignored his fashion rules by, for example, wearing a patterned dress, he would be furious.
"At that time I just liked that he was paying attention to me," Priscilla told the Guardian in 2015. "He was very opinionated on what he wanted: 'I don't like you in that color. Brown isn't good for you. Green looks horrible, it's a dull color with no spark to it.' I was a young kid, 16 years old, so I thought: 'Oh, OK!' It wasn't until I got a little older that I started developing things that I liked."
