Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley and daughter of Lisa Marie Presley, showed off her impressive singing skills during a fashion show appearance in Paris.

While Riley is primarily known for her acting career, which includes roles in TV shows such as The Girlfriend Experience and The Terminal List, as well as movies like Mad Max: Fury Road and The Lodge, she is more than capable of holding a note.

Last year, she showed off her singing ability when she played the lead role in Daisy Jones & the Six and now she has taken to the Paris stage for a stunning cover of Prince's When Doves Cry.

Riley appeared at the end of the show, wearing a black outfit with a flowy cape, and walked around the large birdcage which sat centerstage on the runway, before making her way onto the swing hung inside. The show ended with her singing and swinging high in the air as the models walked underneath her.

"Merci @chanelofficial for being the most fun collaborators," Riley said on Instagram.

"I'll never forget what it was like to watch a show from the sky in the Grand Palais. 🕊️"

Riley's performance comes after she recently spoke to PEOPLE about how she wishes to continue the legacy and preservation of her late grandfather Elvis Presley’s Graceland as the official estate owner.

“My hope is to continue what my grandmother [Priscilla Presley] did, and then my mother did, which is simply to preserve our family home," she said.

She also shared her experience helping her late mother write her memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, which Riley completed after her mother's death last year.

"Because my mother was Elvis Presley’s daughter, she was constantly talked about, argued over and dissected," she said. "What she wanted to do in her memoir, and what I hope I’ve done in finishing it for her, is to go beneath the magazine headline idea of her and reveal the core of who she was.”
