How very hole-some.
Paris Jackson fronts the new issue of LuisaViaRoma’s LVR magazine, and Page Six Style got an exclusive sneak peek at her cover story, in which she opens up about the tattoos and piercings she’s gotten in honor of her late father, music icon Michael Jackson.
The seven total studs and hoops in her earlobes, for instance, are a nod to the “Smooth Criminal” singer’s lucky numeral.
“It’s more about the number of piercings than what is on them, but there is a sunburst, feather and dragon,” the 23-year-old told the glossy of her collection of earrings.
And then there are her more than 80 tattoos, several of which are dedicated to her dad; the front of her left forearm features the cover art from Jackson’s 1991 album “Dangerous,” which she had inked in 2016.
And while the King of Pop’s famously flashy style couldn’t be more different from his only daughter’s self-described “boho grunge” aesthetic, Paris treasures the pieces he passed down.
“I have a pair of my dad’s PJs and a bracelet that he wore the entire time I knew him. I have it in a safe place,” she shared.
In addition to following in Michael’s footsteps as a musician — her latest EP, “The Lost,” dropped in February — Paris also models on the side, and made her runway debut for Jean Paul Gaultier in early 2020.
“That was incredible, and I definitely got an adrenaline rush from that. I cried when they said, ‘We will see you tomorrow,’ after the casting,” she recalled. “‘Does that mean I am walking for you guys?’ I asked, and screamed when they confirmed.”
And despite Paris’ status as rock royalty, she insists that landing catwalk gigs isn’t a cakewalk.
“I’ve been told ‘no’ before at castings … which is cool,” Paris said. “There was a sense of earning it; there are requisites. They aren’t going to pick anyone who can’t walk, or pick you just because you are pretty or have a cool name attached to you.”
LVR Magazine’s spring issue featuring Paris Jackson hits LuisaViaRoma.com on March 4th.
