The 70-year old actress wore a long purple gown, which she accented with a temporary tattoo of the late pop icon's infamous unpronounceable symbol. A contract dispute forced the singer to change his name to the symbol in 1993, leaving the media to refer to him as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince" until 2000.

Mirren, along with countless other Hollywood and political elites, attended the annual dinner Saturday night. She strolled the red carpet alongside her husband, Taylor Hackford.
