Riley Keough Stuns With ‘When Doves Cry’ Performance in Chanel Bird Cage at Paris Fashion Week
Riley Keough delivered a show-stopping performance at the Chanel Paris Fashion Week show!
The 35-year-old actress and singer captivated the audience as she performed Prince’s classic ‘When Doves Cry’ while sitting on a swing inside a bird cage. This striking moment came as she closed the Chanel Womenswear Spring/Summer 2025 show at the Grand Palais.
In a video shared by Vogue on Instagram, Keough can be seen walking around a giant white birdcage, wearing a shimmering black wide-leg jumpsuit, sheer cape, black-and-silver platform sandals, and layered necklaces. She then stepped inside the cage, taking a seat on a swing and singing while soaring above the runway as models passed beneath her. The performance was a tribute to Chanel’s famous 1991 fragrance ad featuring French model Vanessa Paradis on a swing in a golden birdcage.

Keough, no stranger to Chanel, has a long-standing relationship with the brand. Earlier this year, she modelled for Chanel’s spring/summer campaign and wore a stunning Chanel gown to the 2024 Met Gala, featuring a floral bodice, black skirt, and sheer panel.
Monday’s event drew many stars, including Naomi Campbell, Lupita Nyong’o, and Margaret Qualley.

Keough’s appearance followed her recent interview with PEOPLE, where she shared her commitment to preserving her late grandfather Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate as its official owner. She expressed her desire to continue the legacy that her grandmother Priscilla and her mother Lisa Marie Presley maintained. She also reflected on helping her mother write her memoir, ‘From Here to the Great Unknown’, which Keough finished after Lisa Marie’s passing in 2023, aiming to show the deeper side of her mother beyond public perceptions.
