All dolled up

The sultry eyes and moody presence hint at her royal heritage. And if Danielle Keough's name is relatively unknown, her granddaddy certainly isn't.

For he was the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley. And now his granddaughter has begun her own quest for global fame.

Danielle, daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and her first husband, the musician Danny Keough, has become the face of Dolce & Gabbana at the age of 14.

The curly-haired teenager has been inundated with offers since signing with the leading model agency IMG a month ago.

And yesterday, during Milan fashion week, she was the most talked about model as she opened D& G's show, using her middle name Riley. 'With her mother's beauty and her grandfather's attitude, she is sure to be a star,' said the designers.

Not everyone, though, is entirely comfortable with Miss Keough's popularity.

Her mother, who recently brought out a critically acclaimed album, has admitted she is terrified about her daughter's choice of career.

Miss Presley said: 'She wants to make her own money, which I completely respect and want her to do. But she is still my baby. She is still 14.

'She has big plans and it is making me a nervous wreck. I don't want her to fall into anything shallow and aimless.

'But she is grounded. She has a really good head on those shoulders.'

She is doubtless more mature than many 14-yearolds, having seen her mother battle drugs as well as go through three husbands - the others being Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage.

Danielle, who has an 11-year-old brother called Benjamin, certainly does not need the money.

Born in poverty in 1935, Elvis became the biggest act in pop history.

He died in 1977, leaving an estate which still generates millions of dollars a year.

His popularity is showing no signs of waning.

A recent survey found him to be the highest- earning dead celebrity, banking £24million in 2002.

He was brought to the attention of a new generation of fans the same year when he scored a number one hit in the UK with a remix of the track A Little Less Conversation.

Subsequently, his 30 No1 Hits album sold nine million copies in the U.S.

Miss Keough is the latest of a new breed of model to emerge from a rock family

Her catwalk contemporaries include Elizabeth Jagger, who is the face of Lancome, Aerosmith singer Steve Tyler's daughter Liv and Rod Stewart's girl, Kimberley.

Also getting in on the act has been Theodora Richards, daughter of Keith, who recently modelled for Marks & Spencer.
