Anyone who keeps up with Michael Jackson's children, Prince, 27, Paris, 26, and Bigi, 22, will be used to seeing his oldest son, Prince, dressed in laidback clothing, usually comprising of hoodies, baseball caps and baggy jeans.
Prince made a departure from his trademark style this week, attending the NAACP Theatre Awards in Los Angeles dressed in a conventionally smart outfit – surprising his fans.
The 27-year-old opted to wear a tailored black suit, complete with buckled shoes and a classic blue shirt for the occasion, proving he wears formal attire just as well as he rocks his usual casual clothing.

Prince Jackson's hair
When he's off-duty, or sharing insights into his work for his charity, the Heal Los Angeles Foundation, Prince normally wears his hair in a long, loose ponytail, with his lengthy locks swung over his shoulder, so his decision to go sleek with his style was obviously a considered one.

A departure from Dad's style
While neither Bigi nor Prince appear to have inherited their dad's taste in outlandish clothes and statement outfits, their cousin Jaafar Jackson certainly takes after his famous uncle.
The 27-year-old performer is starring as Michael in the upcoming biopic about his life, and glimpses behind the scenes show that they share an uncanny resemblance.

"This project has had so many special moments for me and everyone involved," Prince wrote on Instagram, before emotionally adding: "Special thanks to my cousin @jaafarjackson. Watching you perform and work your butt off is the closest I’ll ever come to watching my dad in concert and it’s been a dream come true! Proud of you cuz!"
Prince was just 12 when his father died in 2009. His grandmother, Katherine Jackson became the legal guardian, of him, Paris and Blanket, who remain close.
