She also has over 280,000 followers on Instagram, and she wowed them recently with a selfie that genuinely had them shook.
So, you may have seen Riley before.
She’s walked red carpets at events like the Met Gala, for example, where she hung out with people so famous that it’s, uh, a little intimidating.
This is the definition of selfie goals.
She’s been in some big films…
You may remember her as the brave Capable in Mad Max: Fury Road , one of the five wives that Furiosa liberates from Immortan Joe’s grasp.
If not, maybe Magic Mike is more your speed. She played aspiring stripper Nora!
…and some big shows.
She had a lead role in The Girlfriend Experience on Starz, which ran for a season. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for her work.
Most recently, she appeared on Riverdale , where her character housed runaway Archie Andrews and Jughead Jones as they attempted to escape the clutches of Veronica’s mobster dad. (I wish I was joking about that plot line.)
She also owns her own production company!
In 2017, she and fellow producer Gina Gammell announced the formation of their own production company, Felix Culpa.
They’re currently working on 3 projects, all featuring films adapted from books, including the graphic novel, Heartthrob .
She made it onto “Riverdale” because of a tweet.
Seriously!
Earlier that year, Riley tweeted that she wanted to be featured on the show.
Lo and behold, she appeared in season 3. So, the lesson here is to tweet your goals into existence, guys.
So, speaking of social media…
Riley is an Instagram beast. She has over 280,000 followers, and her selfie game is strong.
Alongside mirror pictures, red carpet snaps, and pictures of her friends are some casual moments with celebrities like Charlize Theron. No big deal.
She recently posted this selfie.
She captioned it “Thirst trap,” aka the best possible caption.
Her followers absolutely loved the picture, and the comments were full of praise for her post.
We stan supportive and positive fans!
Shakira would approve.
In between comments of heart emojis and the word “beautiful,” some people came up with clever replies that definitely stood out.
There is never a bad time to reference some Shakira lyrics.
Nothin’ but the truth.
No need to go far for this absolute truth!
Her mother is none other than Lisa Marie Presley, the infamous daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley.
Her mom posts about Riley on her Instagram all the time!
A star is born.
Fred here decided to go the A Star is Born route and compliment Riley via lyrics.
Hey, good job, Fred. In terms of “dudes commenting on Instagram,” this comment is both creative, and not creepy!
Oh wow.
That’s just…so many emojis.
I mean, the rainbow is nice. Really throwing in some variety there. Honestly, I’m just wondering why the black heart is so tiny.
Anyway, interesting choice there, Erik.
Just a promo moment.
Dallas Film decided to use the post to promote a screening of her film, The Lodge .
This marketing strategy worked, because I immediately went and googled the film, watched the trailer, and now I must see this film at all costs.
The trailer looks fascinating.
It’s officially spooky season, which means it is time to break out the horror movies.
The Lodge is now on my to-watch list, because I love horror movies and Alicia Silverstone. Easy decision.
People also couldn’t help the references.
The Elvis legacy must be hard to escape, especially with lots of commenters leaving references to him on her pictures.
Ann was pretty chill about it, tbh, and she left some cute emojis.
Kelly gets it.
Perfect summary of the post. Thank you, queen Kelly.
Also, Reese Witherspoon was one of the likes on her post. I just figured that was worth mentioning because it’s Reese frickin’ Witherspoon.
