Priscilla, 80, looked chic in a sheer floral purple blouse teamed with black flared trousers and a pair of heeled leather boots.
The former actress and model wore her signature red hair pulled back in a sleek ponytail and a jeweled black clutch in hand.
She looked composed and stylish as she strolled through Bel Air earlier this week with her security.
Her appearance comes two years on after losing her daughter Lisa at the age of 54.
She was rushed to the hospital on January 12 after her housekeeper found her unresponsive in the bedroom of her Calabasas home.
Lisa Marie's death was caused by complications resulting from a small bowel obstruction, the coroner has said.
The star's autopsy and toxicology reports revealed that there were two opioids in her system at the time of death, according to TMZ.
Therapeutic levels of Oxycodone were found in Lisa Marie's blood, along with Buprenorphine, which is often taken to treat overuse of opioids, the outlet reported.
Lisa Marie reportedly had a cosmetic procedure done a few months prior to her death and was prescribed the opioids.
Traces of Quetiapine - an antipsychotic - were also found.
Lisa Marie's urine toxicology was negative and no drug paraphernalia or narcotics were found at her home, the coroner report said.

The bowel obstruction was said to have been caused by adhesions that formed after Lisa Marie had gastric bypass surgery years ago, though TMZ noted that opioids can cause constipation that can lead to bowel obstruction.
RUSHED TO HOSPITAL
Insiders previously told TMZ that the late singer's ex-husband Danny Keough performed CPR at their home until paramedics arrived.
The pair was living together at a new multi-million-dollar home in a private enclave in Calabasas following their son Benjamin's suicide in 2020.
Lisa Marie reportedly went into "full arrest" and was given adrenaline at least once to help her regain a pulse during the medical emergency.
She was placed in an induced coma and was listed in critical condition before she died at a Los Angeles hospital hours later.
Lisa Marie's mother Priscilla Presley announced her daughter's death in a statement shortly after.
"It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us," the heartbroken mother said.
"She was the most passionate, strong, and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss.
"Thank you for your love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment."
LISA MARIE'S FINAL DAYS
Lisa Marie was last spotted at the 80th Golden Globes on January 10, where she celebrated her late father alongside her family and actor Austin Butler - who won an award for his portrayal of the King of Rock n' Roll in the biopic Elvis.
The late singer looked frail in the days leading up to her collapse and she clung onto Butler's arm in photos before the event.
Donning an all-black dress, Lisa Marie wrapped her arms around the actor for support as she walked across the red carpet and into the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Her eyes looked distanced and tired, and she had a slight slouch.
In one final interview, Lisa Marie spoke slowly and appeared to slur her words at times after being asked about the movie.
Footage also showed her telling Elvis' longtime friend Jerry Shilling: "I'm gonna grab your arm."
Asked about her thoughts after seeing the movie Elvis for the first time, Lisa said: "I was mind blown, truly.
"I actually had to take like five days to process it."
She said she "hoped" it would be a wonderful night for Elvis, adding: "I adore him [Butler]."
Extra's Billy Bush, who carried out the interview, told NewsNation that the famed singer seemed "off" during the chat.
Speaking after her death, he said: "We had two steps up onto our platform. I asked her, here, let me lend you a hand to help you up.
"She was on the arm of Jerry Shilling...he was holding her arm.
"She was very much relying on his support for balance and she spoke very slowly.
"And I can tell you this when the interview was over, I said to my crew, 'something's off.'
"There's no question that she was off. She was a little slow."
HOW DID PRISCILLA MEET ELVIS?
Priscilla's stepfather was in the Air Force and was stationed with his family West Germany, which is where a young Priscilla met the superstar in 1959 in Bad Nauheim, while Elvis was in the army.
She was just 14 but made a huge impression on Elvis, who was 24 and already a huge star.
The couple met at a party and hit it off right away.
But because of his age and rock star status, Priscilla's parents were slightly hesitant about allowing their daughter to get involved with him but soon warmed to him.
The pair anaged to see each other often when he was in West Germany before he was discharged from the military in 1960.
When he returned to America she was convinced the affair was over, but the pair stayed in touch via phone and eventually they were able to convince her parents to let her visit.
She eventually moved in with him in Graceland in 1963 and they married in 1967 at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada - eight years after they first met.
The superstar's brutal touring schedule put strain on the marriage, and both had affairs. Their marriage fell apart in 1973, but they stayed friends.

Man claims 3 inch penis is so small he could not have ‘raped woman in alleyway after party'
Woman claims she was dragged to the ground after party 'RAPE' CLAIM Man claims 3 inch penis is so small he could not have 'raped woman in alleyway after party' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAN has claimed his three inch penis is so small he could not have raped a woman in an alleyway at a party, a court heard. Hossein Mohmoudi, 34, is accused of dragging the woman to the ground in Stratford, East London in the early hours of the morning. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Hossein Mohmoudi is on trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court Credit: Getty He then allegedly pulled up her skirt and raped her before he was interrupted by a passing cyclist. But defence counsel David Harounoff questioned whether the woman could have felt Mohmoudi's penis. He told jurors at Snaresbrook Crown Court that Mohmoudi has a small penis and cannot "get it up". Giving evidence, the complainant grabbed a 30cm ruler from beside the witness stand and asked Mr Harounoff if he wanted an exact measurement. He responded: "I'm going to suggest to you what you said is untrue. He has erectile dysfunction. He can't get it up. "It's the defence case that he has erectile dysfunction and his penis is three inches long. "The defence case is it would be physically impossible to have attempted or actually raped you." But the complainant responded: "That's not true." The court heard the woman was returning home from a Christmas party in December last year when the alleged horror unfolded. She had jumped out of a taxi to be sick before boarding a bus to Stratford. Just before 1am, the woman claims she was "dragged" to the floor and raped by a 6ft, "Middle-Eastern-looking" man with "yellowy, pale skin" and a "messy beard". She told jurors: "I just remember thinking he was foul. Really disgusting. Not clean. The smell. He was a smelly man. I think it's still on me. A smoker. Not somebody who looks after themselves.' The woman claims she could not have consented to sex because she did not see her alleged attacker "until it was happening". She also told the court she recalls "freezing" in horror during the 20 to 30 second attack. Mohmoudi has claimed he thought he recognised the woman so approached her to help. He said he then ran off when she "became hysterical" and started shouting at him. CCTV played to jurors showed the woman entering the alleyway before Mohmoudi follows her in. Hidden behind a large gate or fence, she shouts: "Wait, wait, wait. F**k you. F**k off. F**k you. F**k off". A cyclist then passes in the background before Mohmoudi runs away from the scene. Mohmoudi denies rape and the trial continues.

Watch as Justin Bieber lookalike tricks Vegas club into letting him perform to oblivious fans – & runs up a $10k bar tab
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WATCH as a Justin Bieber lookalike tricks a Vegas nightclub into letting him perform on stage and run up a $10,000 bar tab. Staff and partygoers at the five-star Wynn Las Vegas hotel were convinced that scammer Dylan Desclos, 29, was the real Canadian pop star. 7 The fake Bieber seized the chance to perform to an adoring crowd Credit: X 7 Fans clamoured to record a video of the fake Bieber performing 7 Bieber, actually Dylan Desclos, poses with an oblivious party-goer Credit: X LA-based DJ Gryffin was performing at XS Nightclub, and was told that Bieber, 31, was in town, reports TMZ. He heard that the superstar wanted to perform at his Saturday night show - and readily agreed, inviting him into the DJ booth. Videos posted to social media show the shirtless, tattooed fake singing and dancing on stage in front of a packed crowd. Almost everyone is recording the moment on their phones and appear totally fooled. He belts out Bieber's hit Sorry and prances around, always wearing a pair of dark glasses. The DJ is also completely oblivious, hyping up the prankster from behind the decks. Another clip shows adoring fans clamouring to snap a selfie with Desclos. A fake security team was in tow, and the group wandered around splashing cash at shops and behind the bar. The impersonator got through a couple of tracks before staff clocked onto the ruse and booted him off stage. Gryffin saw the funny side of the saga and documented how it unfolded on Instagram. Justin Bieber sparks concern with series of worrying selfies as he refers to drugs in shock post He posted a series of clips along with his version of events, dubbing the faker "Bustin Jeiber". Gryffin wrote: "How Bustin Jeiber duped me during me own set. How I ended up in this situation. "It started when Bustin Jeiber showed up to the club and I was told he wanted to perform. "Dark venue and loud music didn't help here. "So his 'team' said he wanted to perform Sorry. Little did I know I was about to be sorry... 7 The DJ said the club conditions made it hard to recognise the fake 7 Fake Bieber rocked up with a 'security team' 7 Dylan Desclos has a history of impersonating Bieber "The place went wild, and after 4 minutes and 27 seconds of what sounded like Justin Bieber, I found out the worst news imaginable. "COMPLETE FAKE. NO WAY." At the end of the video, Gryffin said: "I literally thought, 'He's put on a lot of weight since the album dropped.'" A rep for Wynn and XS Nightclub told TMZ: 'After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage. 'As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.' Desclos eventually paid the tab he and his gang racked up.
