On Friday, Ms. Paris Jackson, aged twenty-seven and daughter of the late entertainer Mr. Michael Jackson, appeared at New York Fashion Week in an ensemble that drew significant public attention.
While attending the 72 Magazine launch party, Ms. Jackson elected to wear a sheer, long-sleeved brown top without undergarments, thereby baring her chest, paired with a pale gray floral-patterned miniskirt featuring an extended, tiered train.
She completed the look with tall, deep burgundy go-go boots, accentuating the boldness of the outfit. In addition to her presence on the fashion circuit, Ms. Jackson has pursued a career in music, continuing her father’s artistic legacy.
At the 72 Magazine launch party during New York Fashion Week, Ms. Paris Jackson, aged twenty-seven, complemented her bold ensemble with a voluminous, wispy blonde updo, styled with loose, face-framing strands. On Saturday, she shared images from her New York appearances via Instagram, captioning them: “front row, back pain — high fashion, low patience #nyfw.”
The high-profile event was also attended by Mr. Sam Smith and his partner, designer Mr. Christian Cowan. 72 Magazine is a newly launched publication founded by former Condé Nast European editorial director Mr. Edward Enninful, who selected Ms. Julia Roberts for its inaugural cover. Ms. Roberts, aged fifty-seven, publicly congratulated Mr. Enninful, praising his creativity and inclusivity, while the magazine announced that its debut issue features a candid discussion between Ms. Roberts and Mr. George Clooney.
Ms. Jackson’s appearance comes amid her decision to publicly distance herself from the forthcoming $155 million biographical film about her father, Mr. Michael Jackson. The project, directed by Mr. Antoine Fuqua and produced by estate co-executors Mr. John Branca and Mr. John McClain, is set for theatrical release on April 24, 2026, with her cousin Mr. Jaafar Jackson portraying the late singer.
Mr. Colman Domingo, aged fifty-five, who plays family patriarch Mr. Joe Jackson in the production, previously suggested in a People interview that Ms. Jackson and her brother, Mr. Prince Jackson, aged twenty-eight, were supportive of the film. However, Ms. Jackson, whose full name is Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, publicly disputed this characterization.
Through Instagram Stories, she clarified: “[Colman Domingo], don’t be telling people I was ‘helpful’ on the set of a movie I had 0% involvement in lol that is so weird.” In a subsequent post, she elaborated that while she had reviewed an early draft of the script and provided feedback regarding elements she considered inaccurate, her concerns were not addressed and she therefore disengaged from the project.#newsafro_
