Paris Jackson turned heads during New York Fashion Week with a bold and revealing look that highlighted her fearless sense of style, and came just weeks after some major personal developments.
The singer-songwriter and daughter of the late Michael Jackson stepped out for the 72 Magazine launch party at The Cut restaurant in NYC. Her outfit consisted of a completely sheer long-sleeve top that showed off her colorful tattoos, paired with a high-low floral skirt, burgundy knee-high leather boots, and a textured green fuzzy handbag.
She finished the edgy YSL ensemble with layered gold jewelry and a casual, messy updo. Earlier that day, she attended the Off-White Spring/Summer 2026 runway show at the New Design High School.
Her second look of the day, equally daring, was a plunging red bodysuit worn without pants, highlighting the ink along her sternum. She accessorized the pantsless outfit with slouchy black knee-high boots and a denim handbag.
On September 10, just two days before her NYFW appearance, she reunited with Ester Expósito at the Desigual fashion show in Barcelona, putting to rest months of feud rumors.
The pair had previously raised eyebrows at a 2024 Desigual show with what fans described as a “frosty exchange,” but this year, they were seen laughing, chatting, and even embracing warmly. The moment was captured in several selfies, one of which featured both stars cheekily flipping off the camera.
While Paris dazzled at NYFW, her appearance came on the heels of an emotional chapter in her personal life. Just weeks earlier, her breakup from fiancé Justin Long had been confirmed. The two had been together for three years, with Paris announcing their engagement in December 2024 in a now-deleted Instagram post where she called him “perfect” and said, “Thank you for letting me be yours. I love you.”
Even as recently as June, Paris was spotted wearing her engagement ring at the Tribeca Festival, where she walked the red carpet with Justin. Days later, she spoke to Access Hollywood about her wedding plans: “The dress is being made, the venue has been picked, and the date has been picked by an astrologer, because I’m from LA. I’m all about the crystals and the astrologer, and all that stuff.”
The sudden change came as a shock to many, including fans who noticed the couple’s visible tension during a roadside moment in Malibu. Now, as she begins to heal, her circle is stepping up. Macaulay Culkin, godfather to Paris, Prince, and Blanket Jackson, has remained a constant figure in her life.
The two share a famously close bond, which the actor acknowledged in a 2018 WTF podcast episode. “I’m very protective of her. She is beloved by me. I love her so much. She’s tall and beautiful and smart," he said.
