Film star in the making: Paris Jackson looked radiant as she attended The Immortal World Tour - Cirque Du Soleil's critically acclaimed tribute to her father MichaelIt's not an easy feat to avert attention from global superstar Rihanna.
But Paris Jackson stole the singer's thunder last night with her incredibly striking aquamarine eyes. The 13-year-old, who never got to see father Michael perform in concert, witnessed the next best thing last night at the Staples Centre in LA as she watched the premiere of The Immortal World Tour.
The masterpiece is talented contortionists Cirque Du Soleil's critically-acclaimed tribute to the icon. Neither Paris - nor brothers Prince, 14, and nine-year-old Blanket - ever saw Michael on stage as his death in June 2009 came before he was scheduled to embark on a mammoth 50-date tour.
Proud moment: Blanket looks unimpressed but Paris and Prince, in his Jacksons shirt, smile for the cameras The trio already had a taster of last night's performance after seeing the company tease fans with a snippet at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Thursday at a ceremony to remember their father.
He never got the chance to commit prints of his hands and feet to the cement outside the legendary venue for posterity, so his progeny did it for him.
Paying homage: Rihanna wore an over-the-top leather suit that Michael would surely have loved 
Looking sharp: But the megastar would be hard-pressed to moonwalk in those Louboutin heels And teen pop sensation Justin Bieber also took to the stage to perform Rockin' Robin, giving a touching introduction before he burst into song.
The 17-year-old said: 'I don’t usually get nervous, but I’m kind of really nervous right now. Basically because Michael meant so much to me and I know he meant a lot to you guys as well.
'He was more than an entertainer. He was an inspiration the way he was kind, gentle and charitable.
Preparing for the big night: Rihanna was casual in grey in Beverly Hills earlier in the day Melanie Fiona also performed, while Smokey Robinson, Quincy Jones and Chris Tucker all made speeches.
And the children were not the only family members on hand, with Katherine, Tito and Jackie Jackson all showing up to the event to remember their son and brother.
The trio, who have appeared in the spotlight more since the death of their father, happily posed for pictures with the Cirque du Soleil team and the celebrity guests.
