At the 2024 Grammy Awards, Paris Jackson made a striking departure from her usual style by concealing her extensive collection of tattoos. The artist, known for her body art, appeared on the red carpet in a sleek black Celine gown, showcasing a completely ink-free complexion.
Jackson explained her dramatic transformation, noting a desire to let the fashion take center stage. “I love my tattoos as personal art, but sometimes you want the focus to be entirely on the design of the dress,” she remarked. The process to cover the artwork took several hours, involving specialized makeup artists and vegan-friendly products to achieve the seamless look.
The singer also took the opportunity to discuss her creative process in music, describing songwriting as a simple expression driven by themes of “pain and love and the space between.” She hinted at future collaborations, following a recent single produced with Linda Perry.
Social media erupted with surprise at her altered appearance, with fans praising her beauty both with and without her signature tattoos. Jackson has long viewed her body art as “loving marks” that represent personal growth and strength, making this temporary cover-up a notable style choice rather than a permanent change.
