From the catwalk to cool grunge chick: Riley Keough sports pink and blue hair on set of her new film Magic Mike

Rock chick: Riley Keough sports pink and blue hair on the set of her new film Magic Mike

She is the cool, sophisticated actress and Vogue model daughter of Lisa Marie Presley who is often snapped in designer clothes, her long blonde hair cascading in waves over her shoulder.

But Riley Keough has taken her level of cool to a whole different level and ditched the catwalk queen for grungy rock chick.

Keough, who is Elvis's granddaughter, was snapped on the set of her new film Magic Mike sporting pink and blue wavy hair.

She barely managed a smile as she walked around behind the set in Marina Del Rey in California.

With a big waterproof coat wrapped around her, she sipped at a bottle of water as she walked with a couple of members of the crew.

She was joined on set by British actor Alex Pettyfer, who was snapped showing off an impressive set of abs as he zipped up his hoodie as he left his trailer.

Also on set was the lead actor Channing Tatum and rising star Cody Horn.

It is not the first time Riley has dabbled in a rock 'n' roll look, having played Marie Currie, the sister of Dakota Fanning's twin sister in The Runaways, a film based on the career of Joan Jett's first band.

In Magic Mike, Riley plays the troubled girlfriend of Pettyfer's character, a young male stripper who is taught the tricks of the trade by Tatum.

They work at the club Xquisite, which is owned by the former male stripper Dallas played by Matthew McConaughey.

Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the screenplay was written by Reid Carolin, and is in part based on Tatum's experiences as a male stripper in Tampa, Florida when he was 19 years old.


Modelling debut: Riley appeared on the catwalk for Dolce e Gabbana in Milan when she was just 14

This is Riley's fourth film, having dabbled in modelling when she was younger.
She made her catwalk debut at the age of 14 in a Dolce & Gabbana show in 2004 autumn/winter runway show in Milan.
