Over the course of the past decade, Riley Keough has become so much more than just Lisa Marie Presley's daughter and Elvis Presley's eldest grandchild. After launching her career as a runway model, the multi-talented beauty made her acting debut in a then-buzzed-about biopic with a cast comprised of some of the biggest names in the business. Since then, she's appeared in major blockbusters, indie darlings and everything in between. In honor of her latest project — the eagerly anticipated Amazon Prime Video miniseries "Daisy Jones & The Six," which is based on a beloved novel of the same name — we're taking a look back at how the lauded actress (who's pictured here with her mom in 2003) has transformed over the years.
