“Now we’re with Dior, and we’re walking in the Dior show, and she’s grown up a bit,” she explained while being shown a photo from the event. “She is a little older. She is probably walking a little better.” The experience also proved to be memorable, as the actress recalled wearing her natural hair curls while others had to wear hairpieces or have work done “to get their frizz out.”

“I love fashion. I love clothes,” she shared while beingshown a photoof herself from this year’s annual ‘Vanity Fair’ Oscar Party. “I love getting to work with my hair and makeup team ‘cause they’re so wonderful and creative, but they’re also friends. And so it’s a very fun experience ‘cause you’re kinda getting to hang out with your friends and then you’re going out for the night.”

In an interview forVanity Fair, Keough also confirmed that she and her husband,Ben Smith-Petersen, welcomed their daughter, Tupelo, via surrogate last August.

“It’s funny because we picked her name [which is the Mississippi town where Elvis was born] before theElvismovie,” said Keough, referring to theAustin Butler-led film, which premiered in June 2022. “I was like, ‘This is great because it’s not really a well-known word or name in relation to my family — it’s not like Memphis or something. Then when theElvismovie came out, it was like, Tupelo this and Tupelo that. I was like, ‘Oh, no’, but it’s fine.”
