Let me tell you something—there’s no denying where Finley Lockwood gets her looks. At just 16 years old, Elvis Presley’s granddaughter has become a striking reminder of the King himself. The resemblance between them is uncanny, and it was on full display during a rare public outing captured by The Daily Mail. This isn’t just about genes; it’s like looking at a piece of history come to life.
Finley, along with her dad, Michael Lockwood, was photographed stopping by an Erewhon food market in Calabasas, California, on March 20. Her long blonde hair flowing straight, paired with a simple white sweater and loose jeans, makes her appear effortlessly chic—but what truly grabs your attention is her face. Those piercing eyes, that familiar nose, and the same graceful mouth—it’s all there, echoing both Elvis and his late daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.
It’s not just coincidence; Finley shares those unmistakable features with her late mother, Lisa Marie, who passed away at the age of 54 in January 2023. The official cause of death was determined to be cardiac arrest resulting from complications tied to a weight loss surgery she underwent years earlier. It’s heartbreaking to think about, but her legacy lives on through her children.

Finley and her twin sister Harper were born to Lisa Marie and Michael Lockwood, though their parents parted ways after a decade-long marriage. Their divorce in 2016 led to a contentious custody battle, which finally concluded in 2021. Tragically, it was the twins themselves who were with Michael when Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital that fateful day.
Michael’s heartbreak over losing Lisa Marie was palpable. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, his lawyer said, “Michael had been hoping for a speedy and complete recovery because her children needed her. It is very sad it didn’t turn out that way. Michael’s world has been turned on its ear. He is with both of his daughters now.”
Addressing the public later, Michael opened up further in an emotional statement to People. “We are all reeling from the sudden passing of Lisa Marie Presley, the mother of my two beautiful twin daughters Harper and Finley,” he said. “Nothing prepares us for such an unexpected tragedy. It is incomprehensible.”
He emphasized the importance of providing stability for his daughters during such a difficult time. “The most important thing to me at this time is to take care of my daughters, making sure they always feel safe and loved,” Michael added. Following Lisa Marie’s death, Michael was granted full custody, ensuring the twins could grow up away from the spotlight.
Before her passing, Lisa Marie ensured her daughters were part of important family milestones. One of their last major public appearances came during the Three Generations of Presleys handprint ceremony at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre on June 21, 2022. There, Finley, Harper, and their grandmother Priscilla Presley joined Lisa Marie and her eldest daughter Riley Keough to leave their mark in cement, celebrating the release of Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic.
Lisa Marie’s life was marked by tragedy when she lost her only son, Benjamin Keough, to suicide in July 2020. Writing about her grief in an August 2022 essay for People, Lisa Marie expressed the raw pain of losing a child. “Nothing, absolutely NOTHING takes away the pain, but finding support can sometimes help you feel a little bit less alone,” she wrote. “You are FORCED into this horrendous ‘club’ that you never wanted to be in or a part of, and you are FORCED to find your new people now.”

“It’s a real choice to keep going, one that I have to make every single day and one that is constantly challenging to say the least … But I keep going for my girls. I keep going because my son made it very clear in his final moments that taking care of his little sisters and looking out for them were on the forefront of his concerns and his mind. He absolutely adored them and they him,” Lisa Marie explained.
She concluded with a sobering reminder: “My and my three daughters’ lives as we knew it were completely detonated and destroyed by his death. We live in this every. Single. Day.”
