Veteran actress Helen Mirren paid tribute to Prince at the White House Correspondents Dinner by wearing a plum-colored, semi-sheer dress and a matching hand-drawn purple tattoo on her collarbone.

"I admire great artists and he was a great artist," the 70-year-old Oscar-winning actress said about the late music legend, adding that she had etched the faux ink symbol on herself earlier that day.

"I'd love to say that Prince himself did it in 1988 or something, instead of me in the bathroom this morning," she added.

Prince, who died at his Paisley Park abode in Chanhassen, Minnesota on April 21, famously used the symbol as a stand-in for his name between 1993 to 2000.
 

Mirren was accompanied to the star-studded event by her husband, director Taylor Hackford.
