"You are such a strong, beautiful young woman, and I admire you!" the loving fan concluded their lengthy comment. The Caméra d'Or honoree's tribute to Presley came about four months after the songstress died on January 12, 2023, after a cardiac arrest.

Days after her mother's passing, the "War Pony" co-director shared her last picture with the musician and a poignant post. The image captured the mother and daughter posing together at a restaurant, flaunting their resemblance with similar black hair styled with honey-blonde highlights.

"I feel blessed to have a photo of the last time I saw my beautiful mama," the grief-stricken daughter wrote before thanking fellow actress Georgie Flores for capturing the unforgettable moment.

The women, alongside the lead actor Austin Butler and director Baz Luhrmann from the "Elvis" biopic, visited the restaurant to celebrate Elvis Presley's posthumous 88th birthday. The occasion came 46 years after the beloved icon's tragic passing in 1977.
