The Oscar-nominated actress wore a sleeveless leopard print dress to the event, but all eyes were on her obviously altered tattoo as she walked the red carpet. According to MSN, Griffith seemed to have used makeup to cover the word "Antonio" from the inside of her heart tattoo.

The Working Girl actress last sported her famous ink on June 5. while attending Jane Fonda's American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award dinner in L.A. one day before TMZ broke the news about her split from the Spanish actor.
