Priscilla Presley spent her 79th birthday by enjoying some well-deserved me-time in the hair salon. The wife of Elvis Presley was spotted in a Beverly Hills hair salon where she relaxed with a 45 minute appointment that saw her walking out with her flame-red locks refreshed and gorgeous.
Priscilla wore a camel ribbed polo neck sweater with black pants for the salon moment, which came the morning after she spent the evening at Cipriani, the renowned Italian restaurant also in Beverly Hills.

As she left, Priscilla happily posed for pictures for the waiting photographers and politely asked them to step aside so she could access the car.
However it was a bittersweet birthday for Priscilla as she was forced to set the record straight on news that Graceland, her ex-husband Elvis' legendary estate, was undergoing a foreclosure sale.

The company claimed in a lawsuit, filed in September against Lisa Marie, that she failed to make good on a $3.8 million loan from 2018, and moreover listed Graceland as collateral. The private lender provided as proof two checks from U.S. Bank made out to Lisa Marie, as well as a loan agreement, signed by her, agreeing to pay the loan in full by May 16, 2022.
In court documents obtained by People, Riley alleged "the note and deed of trust are fraudulent and unenforceable".

Taking to Instagram after Riley's lawsuit was made public, Priscilla, who moved into the Tennessee home when she was 18 after she married Elvis, posted a photo of Graceland with the words "it's a scam" emblazoned over it in bright red.
Elvis purchased the home in 1957 for $100,000 at age 22, and 20 years later when he died in 1977 Graceland was reportedly worth $5 million, a $4,900% increase in value from when he first bought it.

Reports allege that as a tourist destination it generates over $10 million annually, plus a Presley executive told Rolling Stone in 2020 that the estate is worth upwards of $500 million.
