EXCLUSIVE Paris Jackson and older fiancé spotted in matching grungy outfits on rare LA outing days before she glammed out at amfAR Gala
But her road to recovery appears to be a lighter load with her much older fiancé Justin Long by her side, which was apparent as Paris looked at ease as she and her man walked hand in hand to grab takeout.
But a few days later Paris, 27, showed her glam side as she turned up solo for Thursday's amFAR Gala in Cannes, France in a daring thigh-baring outfit.
The couple's stroll in Malibu led them to the trendy cafe Sunlife Organics which caters to her vegan lifestyle.
With six months of engagement under their belt, Paris and Long, 46, were more than comfortable sporting a grungy look as embarked down the empty street on the morning of May 4.
Putting her bleach blonde locks into a messy bun, Paris wore a green long-sleeve shirt with an evil eye motif, black leggings and tan running shoes.
Long wore a distressed Van Halen t-shirt, accompanied by gray sweats and white Vans-styled sneakers.
Butit was a totally different look in Cannes. As she sauntered down the red carpet for the festival's annual amfAR Cannes Gala, her slit-way-up-to-there outfit turned heads.
The cream gown was embroidered with a cluster of shimmering silver beads along the neckline and seamlessly transitioned into a structured bodice with daring shoulder pads, drawing attention to her silhouette before cascading into a sheer, floor-length skirt.
The layered design revealed a nude bodysuit underneath, while a racy thigh-high slit offered an alluring glimpse of her toned legs as she walked.
She elevated her outfit with a pair of nude heels and accessorized with silver jewelry.
Paris pulled her blonde locks into a stylish updo and finished off her look with a swipe of satin red lipstick.

Her outfit skirted the line of Cannes' newly implemented dress code, which was devised for 'the sake of decency' and bans nudity, long trains and voluminous outfits.
Long wasn't in France with Paris for the Gala, but the pair were spotted together at another well-known event in February, the Grammy Awards Viewing Party at the Hollywood Palladium.
The couple appeared radiant and in love as they embraced each other for a photo. A stark contrast from the somber reveal Paris had dropped on social media a month prior.
The singer posted a video to Instagram on January 7 revealing that she was five years into her sobriety journey from heroin and alcohol, featuring disturbing clips that showed the darkest moments of her dependence.
'Hi, I'm pk and I'm an alcoholic and a heroin addict,' she wrote.
'Today marks 5 years clean & sober from all drugs and alcohol. To say that I'm thankful would be a poor euphemism. Gratitude hardly scratches the surface.
'It's because I'm sober that I get to smile today. I get to make music. I get to experience the joy of loving my dogs and cat. I get to feel heartbreak in all its glory. I get to grieve. I get to laugh. I get to dance. I get to trust.
'I feel the sun on my skin and it's warm. I've found that life keeps happening regardless of whether I'm sober or not, but today I get to show up for it.
'Here's a little snapshot of what has been possible because of my sobriety, and my god I can't believe I almost missed it all,' she finished off the heartbreaking caption.
This confirmed the speculation that had been swirling through the airwaves, despite Paris' persistent denial.
Even some members of her famous family revealed they were left completely in the dark when it came to her private struggles with addiction.
An insider close to Janet Jackson – Michael's younger sister – exclusively told DailyMail.com she 'had no idea' that her niece was battling addiction and was 'heartbroken when she found out with the rest of the world'.
Paris's journey to sobriety was complicated by feelings of depression and anxiety. Speaking to Rolling Stone in 2017, the singer admitted she had attempted suicide at age 15 and was later hospitalized.
She described how several of her tattoos conceal both track marks from drug use and self-harm scars.
'It was just self-hatred, low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn't do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore,' she confessed.
The loss of her father, who struggled with his own drug use that led to his death at his Los Angeles mansion at age 50, also contributed to her spiral.
But multiple rehab stints, a therapeutic school she attended for her sophomore and part of her junior year in high school and the supportive love from Long appears to have mended some of those wounds.
The couple are believed to have started dating in 2022, and while it's unclear when exactly they got engaged - though she was spotted wearing the ring back in September – they announced their joyous moment on December 6, 2024.
'Happy birthday my sweet blue,' she wrote in a birthday tribute announcing their engagement.

Tyson Fury's family left 'TERRIFIED' as their private jet is forced to land due to technical 'problem' with the wing - after he married wife Paris for a THIRD time in the South of France
Tyson Fury 's private jet was forced to make an emergency landing after a technical issue in an ordeal that left the legendary boxer 'terrified'. Fury, 37, was travelling with his family after he married his wife Paris for the third time in recent days in an intimate ceremony in the south of France, 17 years after they first tied the knot. Fury had posted several celebratory and idyllic photos of himself, Paris and their seven kids from the festivities, but their attempts to return home were hampered. As they were flying back to the UK, an issue on board the aircraft they were on meant the Fury family had to turn around mid-air and return to their take-off point. Updating fans on his Instagram story from the plane, Fury opened up the situation. 'So, we've travelled 100 miles on the plane,' a concerned Fury said in a clip that he had captioned 'bad news'. The couple were joined by children, Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, eight, Valencia seven, Prince Adonis Amaziah, six, Athena, three, Prince Rico, 22-months, and Venezuela, 15 'And the captain's come over to me and said "we've got to turn this plane around because there's a problem with one of the wings and it won't fix on the computer so we've got to try and get back and turn around". Fury then bowed his head and let out a wry smile before he expressed how he was feeling. 'Talk about totally s****ing yourself,' Fury added. 'So we're now spinning the plane around and going back to the airport where we started. Terrifying.' In other clips from his Instagram page, Fury could be seen travelling with his family on board the luxurious jet. He didn't provide another update on the plane situation, although he posted several other stories across Wednesday night. Meanwhile, Fury and Paris first married in 2008 when she was just 19 and he was 21-years-old during a ceremony in Doncaster. They later renewed their vows in April 2013 in New York City. At the romantic ceremony this week, which took place in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, the couple were joined by their children, Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, eight, Valencia, seven, Prince Adonis Amaziah, six, Athena, three, Prince Rico, 22-months, and their eldest Venezuela, 15. Sharing a series of stunning snaps to his 6.7million followers on Instagram, Tyson wrote: 'Paris & I got married again third time lucky. After the third wedding, the happy couple both shared several intimate snaps of the ceremony 'We had the most beautiful day in the south of France (sic) it holds a lot of special memories for us.' The post was accompanied by Bruno Mars' popular song 'Marry You'. The event took place in a scenic French church and it seemed to be a family affair, with just their children in attendance. The Gypsy King was wearing a cream shirt, white shorts and sandals for the ceremony, while Paris was in a white dress. Speaking about renewing their vows in January, Paris had told OK!: 'I don't want a big ceremony or a big wedding, I'd like something private with just me and him. 'It'll be nice to reaffirm our vows. If he had his way he'd have it like a circus – a whole Big Fat Gypsy Wedding again! But I think I'll go subtle.' Elsewhere, Fury remains officially retired from boxing after his bombshell decision in January, which came weeks after his second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk. But, there are continuous rumours the 37-year-old will make a return to the ring, with his promoter Frank Warren last month saying: 'He's made it clear he wants to fight Usyk.'

'It's the best feeling' - The Bristol rave where everyone is sober
Bristol's music scene is known for its thumping basslines and - for some - its booze-fuelled big nights out. But as more young people embrace sobriety, one group aims to prove you do not need drugs or alcohol to let loose on the dancefloor. DJ Milly, better known as Milly on Air, has been in recovery for nine and a half years."For me, it was a choice between life and death, and I chose life," she said."I actually started DJing whilst I was in recovery. It was something that I had always wanted to do and addiction had meant my life was incredibly chaotic and I'd never actually managed to do it," Milly was one of a host of artists who played at The Trinity Centre's first ever day-long sober rave on 3 August. The event in Old Market welcomed anyone who chooses to avoid alcohol or drugs, whether that is for health, religious, recovery or personal the early days, Milly said being a sober DJ in the world of dance music made her feel "like an alien" - but in recent years she has noticed a "huge shift".And that change is reflected in national figures. Research showed 19% of people in the UK aged 16+ did not drink alcohol in 2022, compared to 17% in adults aged 16–24 were the most likely to be non-drinkers (25%), while those aged 55–64 were the least likely (14%), according to the of the Trinity Centre event - Bristol Sober Spaces - aimed to rewrite the narrative that nightlife and substances must go seven-hour rave featured local favourites Misneach, Discombobulator, Steven Stone, and Josephine Gyasi, and was headlined by drum and bass icon Nicky Blackmarket and Bristol's own Roni Size. Reflecting on the gig, Roni Size said: "It was incredible. Performing to all those people, some of whom were going through recovery, was a totally different feeling to what I'm used to."I've [always] felt like people associate drum and bass, jungle and anything to do with DJs with drugs or alcohol."They think that you can't party without some type of influence to get you going - but that's not the case."Bristol Sober Spaces is a collaborative project between Bristol Drugs Project - a drugs and alcohol support service - and Not Saints, a record label aimed at supporting those in its formation in 2020, the group has hosted a number of sober Jade King said she avoided clubs altogether when she first became sober 11 years ago. Speaking about partying at sober events, she said: "A lot of my friends are here, I get to have a dance with them. "I don't feel embarrassed about getting up and dancing in front of other people."These events are not just for people that are sober because maybe they've had a problem in the past - but also for people that just don't want to wake up tomorrow with a hangover."Curtis Corbett-Blakemore, also a volunteer at Bristol Sober Spaces, said more people were focusing on wellness and mental health these days. "There's clearly a bit of a link between poor mental health and using substances."These events are important because, generally, people in recovery want to stay away from places where there's a lot of drug and alcohol use."It can be triggering for people that are in recovery and there are not a huge amount of options out there," he of the DJs who performed at the rave said sober crowds were often the most engaged."There's something really special about playing at sober events. People are so engaged and so present," Milly said. DJ Steven Stone agreed, saying the energy levels in the crowd were "incredible". "I've never seen anything like it. The participation's amazing and the interactions I've had since coming off the stage have been really wholesome," he the crowd was London-based music producer Mina, who does not drink and runs an alochol-free club night called Club said she was "curious" to see what happened when alcohol was removed, which she felt dominated nightlife and electronic added: "I found it's a really beautiful experience. You're surrounded by people that are really present and engaged. "It's just one of the best feelings being on the dancefloor without alcohol."If you, or someone you know, have been affected by addiction the BBC Action Line has details of organisations which may be able to help.
