Paris Jackson dyed her hair blue to match friend’s prom gown

According to her prom date, Paris is "the best date any girl could ask for".
Paris Jackson

Little Paris Jackson isn’t so little anymore, and has just attended prom!

The daughter of Michael Jackson just revealed she has her father’s flair for dramatic costuming, by dyeing her hair to match the colour of her girlfriend’s prom dress.

The 18-year-old took to Instagram to show off her new teal blue ‘do that perfectly matched the teal tones in her friend Melissa Lauren’s dress.

Rocking a black tuxedo with a teal tie and newly coloured locks to match, Paris posted the picture beside the caption “Only true friends dye their hair to math their gal’s prom gown.”

Paris went above and beyond for her BFF Melissa.

She also snapped a photo of her adorable date solo, which her friend posted to her own account with the caption “A fun night with a fun lady. And the best date anyone could ask for.”

Paris had shared a sneak peek of her new locks on the social media platform earlier in the week, without revealing the real reason for the colour change.

Fans got their first glimpse of the radical makeover just days before the big event.

At the time she joked it looked like she’d spilled a blue icy drink on her head.

This comes a week after the daughter of the King of Pop debuted a new tattoo she got in honour of her dad.

Check out Paris Jackson doing a mean lip sync with her kitty. Post continues…

The tattoo featured intricate artwork from Michael’s Dangerous album.

Alongside the new artwork, she wrote a quote that has been attributed to her dad.

“The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exists in all of creation.”
