For one night only, Paris Jackson decided to cover up all of her tattoos before stepping out on the red carpet for last year's Grammys.
The 68th Grammy Awards are here (2 February), and we’re going to find out who is taking home the accolades.
The Grammys have been the go-to music event of the ages for nearly seven decades now, and throughout the years, big names have come together to celebrate the craft.
This year, it has been said that the likes of Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber and more will be in attendance, and even up for nominations.

Per The Los Angeles Times, Kendrick Lamar is leading the charge with nine nominations and could be in for a chance at winning any of the awards tonight.
Streaming on CBS from Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, Trevor Noah will host again, and you’ll see the likes of Carpenter, Pharrell Williams, Addison Rae, Alex Warren, Olivia Dean, and more perform live, so it’s safe to say that it’s going to be eventful.
But while the attention is turned inside, there usually isn’t anything too shocking going on outside of its doors.
Unless you consider Bianca Censori’s naked dress last year a drama, or the fact that Jackson covered her entire body in makeup to hide her 80 tattoos for one night the year before that.
The 66th Grammy Awards were an amazing feat for music, with Taylor Swift bagging Album of the Year with her Midnights discography, Miley Cyrus took home the award for the Record of the Year for 'Flowers', while Billie Eilish’s 'What Was I Made For' won Song of the Year.
But while people were paying attention to the awards, Jackson was turning their heads in her direction.
The model and actor donned a strapless black dress by Celine, featuring cut-out detailing across her midriff and a high thigh slit, but people couldn’t help but wonder where on earth all her signature tats had disappeared to.
Basically, it was all thanks to Cover FX, a vegan and cruelty-free makeup company, which used its product to make her look as though she’d never had a tattoo in her life.
The daughter of the late King of Pop documented the process in an Instagram video, captioned: "Cover FX meant business when they said total cover cream foundation would have me covered."
But why go through that trouble?
"I wanted to give this Celine dress its own moment," she told Extra. "I love my piercings and my tattoos, all the body mod stuff, but sometimes it can distract from the art."
Fans were quick to react to the moment, with one writing: "With or without tattoos you remain incredible and the same beautiful soul inside!"
Another wrote: "You look amazing at the Grammys. So graceful."
Someone else wrote: "Bro I was just saying earlier today I can't imagine Paris without her tattoos and here you are."
