A fan passionately described Harper as the “reincarnated” version of Priscilla. Conversely, another user disagreed, stating, “I don’t think she looks like her grandmother.” Another echoed this sentiment, commenting emphatically, “I can’t see the resemblance. I CAN’T SEE IT.”
While many fans struggled to see a resemblance between Priscilla and Harper, some maintained their stance that the Hollywood star and her granddaughter look alike. The twins have often changed their looks over the years, with different hairstyles, colors, and more, similar to their grandmother.

According to a news outlet, Elvis would make his former wife switch up her look from time to time. On this, the head of the hair department for the film “Priscilla,” Cliona Furley, divulged, “He decided everything about her, everything about her look.”
One request he had to Priscilla was to dye her hair from brown (her natural hair color) to black when she moved to his home, Graceland. However, after the ex-couple divorced, she returned to her natural brown hair, as highlighted in “Priscilla.”

“The hair helped show the passage in time and Priscilla’s life journey,” explained Cliona when discussing what they were trying to convey in the film. Now, Priscilla has deep red hair; a color which became a signature look for her.

Though she and Harper may not have the same hair color, Priscilla Presley still shares the same physical features. They look so similar that Harper was once dubbed Priscilla’s twin by fans who saw a since-deleted photo of Harper and a friend on social media.
