Paris Jackson put her music career on pause to step into her modelling shoes this week, captivating in the spotlight at Paris Fashion Week.
The daughter of the late Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe wasn’t just watching from the sidelines as she attended the French capital’s most fashionable week in the calendar.
Taking centre stage, Paris was seen opening Vivienne Tam’s SS25 runway show on Friday in a series of intricate looks, four years after making her catwalk debut for Jean Paul Gauliter’s final haute couture show in 2020.
On Saturday, the 26-year-old actress took her seat on the coveted front row of Ann Demeulemeester’s runway show. Paris looked phenomenal in a bedraggled cream ensemble consisting of a sheer ripped skirt, a cropped ribbed sweater and a shaggy oversized coat strewn effortlessly across her shoulders.
The model’s striking rib and stomach tattoos could be seen peeking out of her cropped sweater, while her eclectic finger tattoos added dimension to her monochrome outfit.

At the 66th Grammy Awards in February this year, the model spent several hours in the makeup chair to cover up her 80+ tattoos.
“I wanted to give this Celine dress its own moment,” she told Extra TV of her elegant cut-out column dress. “I love the piercings, the tattoos, all the body mod stuff, but sometimes it can distract from the art.”

“I have friendship tattoos with at least 10 people,” she said. Despite insisting her tattoos are totally random, the daughter of the late ‘King of Pop’ has several tattoos in homage of her father’s legendary music career.
