Austin Butler, who famously portrayed Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” biopic, attended Lisa Marie Presley’s public memorial service at Graceland on Sunday.
The actor and his girlfriend, Kaia Gerber, were seated right behind the Presley family as stars like Alanis Morissette and Axl Rose performed tributes in honor of Elvis’ only child.
Butler, 31, was dressed in a black peacoat with matching pants and dress shoes, while Gerber, 21, complemented her beau’s look in a similar somber ensemble.
The two have been dating since January 2022, following Gerber’s highly publicized breakup from “Euphoria” star Jacob Elordi.
An eyewitness told Page Six that Luhrmann was also in attendance for the service with his wife, “Elvis” costume designer Catherine Martin. We’re told the Australian film director, 60, walked over to Butler at one point to give him a hug.
As previously reported, Lisa Marie died on Jan. 12 at the age of 54.
“My heart is completely shattered for Riley, Finley, Harper and Priscilla at the tragic and unexpected loss of Lisa Marie,” Butler said in a statement to E! News at the time, referencing the singer’s daughters and mother.
“I am eternally grateful for the time I was lucky enough to be near her bright light and will forever cherish the quiet moments we shared. Her warmth, her love and her authenticity will always be remembered.”
The tribute came just days after Butler won Best Actor in a Drama at the 2023 Golden Globes for his portrayal of the late King of Rock ’n’ Roll.
In his acceptance speech, Butler thanked Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley for opening their “hearts,” “memories” and “home” to him in preparation for the role.
“Lisa Marie, Priscilla, I love you forever,” he added.
Sunday’s memorial also featured tributes from Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, talent manager Jerry Schilling and Lisa Marie’s 33-year-old daughter, Riley.
The actress’ husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, took the podium to read a note on Riley’s behalf – revealing they quietly welcomed a daughter together prior to Lisa Marie’s death.
“Thank you for showing me love is the only thing that matters in this life. I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and my sisters,” the message read in part.
“Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humor, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity. I’m a product of your heart, my sisters are a product of your heart, my brother is a product of your heart.”
Page Six also reported Sunday that Lisa Marie was laid to rest in the Meditation Garden at Graceland next to her beloved son, Benjamin, who died by suicide in 2020.
Elvis and his parents, Vernon and Gladys Presley, are also buried in the garden of the property in Memphis, Tenn.
In addition to Riley, Lisa Marie leaves behind two other children: 14-year-old twins Finley and Harper Lockwood.
