Even Paris Hilton Is Sitting Out the Low-Rise Resurgence

002~52.jpg 001~64.jpg 003~42.jpg

Not that she ever really left the spotlight, but right now is an excellent time for Paris Hilton to be back under it. The hottest trends in fashion right now are the ones the celebrity heiress popularized as the preeminent style icon of the early 2000s. From velour tracksuits and oversized sunglasses, to low-rise jeans and mini skirts, the outfits she put together — without any help from a stylist — for club-hopping and trips to Kitson are now on everyone’s mood board.

Being the savvy businesswoman that she is, Hilton is of course capitalizing on her renewed sartorial relevance: Last Tuesday, she launched her own line of velour tracksuits that immediately sold out online. Then on Wednesday, she launched a range of 2000s-inspired sunglasses and prescription frames with Quay Australia. She celebrated the collaboration on Friday with a blowout party at a Beverly Hills estate, wearing an outfit that could’ve come straight out of her own early-2000s archives. The chainmail mini dress and choker seemed to reference her 21st-birthday dress, which has been copied by everyone (including Kendall Jenner) in the years since she first wore it. Hilton doesn’t mind, though.

“I think that’s the ultimate birthday dress,” she tells me during a phone interview ahead of the event. “Everyone should wear it on their birthday.”

I asked Hilton all about her outsized style influence, the early-aughts trends she will and will not be embracing the second time around, her predictions for what will be in style next, and what we can expect from the NFT aficionado’s fashion dealings in the metaverse. Read on for our interview.

What inspired you while working on this line with Quay? Do you have a favorite style?
I was really inspired just by my love of sunglasses. They’re my favorite accessory, so I really wanted to create a line that represented me and my favorite styles and also was inspired by the early 2000s. I love all of them but my favorites that I’ve literally been wearing every day are the black ones, ‘Total Vibe.’ I love the way they look, the way they feel, and you can wear them day and night. Also the pink ones, they’re so girly.

Throughout the fashion weeks we’ve seen the return of a lot of the early-2000s fashion trends that you popularized. The designer of Blumarine has even cited you as inspiration. How does it feel to be a reference or inspiration to big designers and brands right now?
It makes me feel really proud, I’ve always felt like I was ahead of my time in many ways and back then I didn’t even have a stylist. It was just me picking all my looks out, so just to see designers and people saying I’ve been an inspiration, it just makes me feel proud. I love fashion, especially brands like Blumarine, which I’ve always been a fan of. It’s always very flattering.

Have you seen any really good or interesting 2000s-inspired looks recently on a celebrity or influencer or anyone where you thought, ‘they nailed it’?
Anytime I see anyone in velour tracksuits, that just always reminds of me of me. I launched my tracksuit line yesterday because I wanted to make even more comfortable iconic velour tracksuits, which we sold out right away. That’s a look that I see all the time; even on Halloween, a lot of girls will wear that. Or ‘Simple Life’ style, like Von Dutch, that’s coming back now. And my 21st birthday dress — I’ve seen everyone wear it, so many people. There are so many reiterations of that dress.

Have you kept a lot of your clothes and accessories from that time and brought any of it back out?
Yeah I have. I keep a lot of my things just because I want to save them for my daughter one day. Those pieces are just so iconic that I love to keep them. Things I’ve taken out a lot are the Dior monogram — I love that logomania is back again — a lot of my Louis Vuitton purses, my big giant gold metallic ones, all my sparkly things, anything with lots of Swarovski crystals.

I also associate you with the low-rise denim craze. Do you remember why you loved that look or where you first saw it? Have you pulled any of those back out?
I remember Frankie B sent me these very low-rise jeans before ‘The Simple Life,’ then I started rocking them all the time. Then, I was the Guess girl for the Guess campaign, and I was rocking all of the low-rise skirts and the jeans. I embraced that look. It was definitely a look [laughs]. Now, I think the high-rise jeans are sexier and look chic.

So no more low-rise for you?
I’m more into the high waist now, I don’t know if I’d rock it again.

You seem to have a knack for predicting trends, what do you think will be popular or come back next?
I’m really into neon — neon pink and yellow and green and bright colors that really stand out — so that’s a trend I love that I think’s gonna be coming back, especially with music festival season coming up. Obviously velour tracksuits, they’re my uniform. That’s something that I love that will always be in fashion. With luxury loungewear, people love to be comfortable in something and then also be able to wear it out.

You’re also famously into NFTs — do you have any predictions for how NFTs might impact fashion in the coming years?
Definitely, I have my Paris World [metaverse] inside of [gaming platform] Roblox. I actually did the first-ever fashion week of the metaverse during New York Fashion Week. I’ve been designing digital wearables and building digital fashion brands and it’s really exciting what’s happening in the space.

There’s all these digital designers now and also the opportunity for brands to come into the metaverse and make products, like Gucci has and lots of other big brands are trying to come in and do the same thing. I just think a lot of people are going to be in the metaverse and with your avatar, you want to be able to dress them up a certain way since that’s your online persona. So the opportunities are truly endless when it comes to that and it’s just a really exciting thing to be a part of.

Anything else on going on in Paris World?
I’m so excited about this collaboration with Quay and I can’t wait to see everyone rocking them. I’m also getting ready to release my 30th perfume.

That’s Hot! Paris Hilton Shares a Sneak Peek at Her New Tracksuit Line

002~51.jpg 003~41.jpg 001~63.jpg

If you’re a fan of The Simple Life, you’ll recall that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie spent much of their time on the reality show rocking Juicy Couture tracksuits in every shade of the rainbow. For instance, in season three, they rode around the nation as interns on a Greyhound bus wearing cozy, colorful sweats in bright pink or green. But Hilton’s love of tracksuits didn’t end in the early-aughts, when the show aired. Since then, she has continued to sport her signature tracksuits, even telling Vogue in 2019 that she still has an entire closet devoted to her Juicy Couture collection. It’s only natural, then, that Hilton is getting into the tracksuit market herself. This week, she announced she’s designing her own line of them, and Vogue has an exclusive sneak peek at the designs.

The decision to design her own assortment of tracksuits—which will be released in June—has been a long time coming. “It’s always been something I’ve been interested in creating,” she tells Vogue. “They’ve been my go-to since before I could remember.” Why is she such a fan of the athleisure look? “They’re comfortable and chic, and can make you feel glamorous while still being super fun and casual,” says Hilton. She’s certainly not wrong. Simply add an It bag or shoe, you have an on-trend Y2K look. “I love pairing my tracksuits with some statement jewelry and heels,” says Hilton. “The right accessories can switch up the whole vibe by dressing it up or down.”

While it’s hard to imagine Hilton in a tracksuit that isn’t Juicy, she says her own designs will be unique to her. Expect them to be girly and a tad over-the-top. In new photos of Hilton in the clothes, we get a glimpse at what’s to come. One cropped hoodie, in black and pink, features her catchphrase—“That’s hot”—in rhinestones. Another bright-red tracksuit has star cutouts on the leg. Bold colors will be a through line in the collection. “Pink is one of my favorite colors and I wear it as much as possible, but I spent a lot of time choosing the best colors and shades in the softest velour,” says Hilton.

If you’re looking to get your hands on Hilton’s tracksuits, you’ll have to wait until June, when they will be available on her own website. Select, to-be-announced retailers will start carrying them in September. Prices start at $95 for velour pants, to $115 for the blingy hoodies. Hilton assures that, no matter one’s taste, “there’s a tracksuit style for every occasion.” She considers it worth the investment. “The tracksuit is a forever wardrobe staple because it’s elevated comfort that you can wear anywhere,” she says. “You can wear it while shopping, or at home.” Loves it.

Paris Hilton Throws Neon Carnival Bash to Celebrate Her Wedding to Carter Reum: ‘My Fairytale Wedding Weekend’

001~55.jpg 004~34.jpg 003~35.jpg 002~44.jpg

Paris Hilton took her wedding festivities to a whole new level with a carnival afterparty.

The reality star, 40, and her new husband, Carter Reum, celebrated getting hitched with a themed event at the Santa Monica Pier on Friday.

Hilton and Reum, 40, wed in Los Angeles on Thursday and carried their celebration over into the next day with a couple’s carnival. The colorful bash featured carnival treats like lemonade, funnel cakes and hot dogs, plus Hilton-themed games, a ferris wheel, a DJ, and performers, plus more classic attractions, all of which Hilton featured on her Instagram Story.

Diplo provided a soundtrack for the night, with Hilton recording snippets of his set

“Thank you Diplo for making my fairytale wedding weekend even more lit! Love you bro,” Hilton wrote over a video of herself and the DJ.

In another video, she wrote, “Best wedding weekend ever,” and tagged Diplo, her sister Nicky Hilton, and fashion journalist Derek Blasberg, who all attended the Friday festivities.

For her party on the pier, Hilton wore head-to-toe neon pink. The newlywed arrived in a hot pink Alice and Olivia dress featuring a sequined mesh top and an asymmetrical tulle skirt, which she accessorized with a pink leather purse and matching platform boots, sparkly heart-shaped shades, and, of course, a pink veil.

Reum coordinated with the bride, sporting a navy tracksuit with a hot pink sweatshirt underneath. In one photo from their celebration, Reum can be seen holding Hilton as the two grin in their matching looks while posing in front of a Paris-themed ring toss game.

Hilton invited plenty of famous friends to her bash, including Gigi Gorgeous and Lance Bass, plus her mom Kathy Hilton and aunt Kyle Richards. Demi Lovato was also at the party, and they posed for a photo with Hilton while dressed in an all-green outfit featuring a furry coat and matching sunglasses.

Lovato stopped by Hilton’s carnival reception after attending her Thursday wedding, where Lovato performed “I Will Always Love You” at the reception.

Hilton and Reum tied the knot about two years after they first began dating in November 2019. The couple got engaged in February when Reum got down on one knee during a beachside proposal on a private island.

Last fall, Hilton spilled about her “amazing” relationship with her now-husband. She told PEOPLE, “I’ve known him for 15 years. Then [Reum’s sister Halle Hammond] invited us to Thanksgiving and we just had this incredible chemistry. We had our first date and haven’t spent a night apart since. It’s pretty amazing.”

Hilton — who was previously engaged to Chris Zylka before the pair split in 2018 — added, “After my last breakup, I thought I was going to be alone forever.”

“I was like, I give up. I’ll just focus on myself. I don’t need anyone,” she shared. “So to have actually fallen in love, I just feel so grateful.”

Paris Hilton Calls on President Biden, Congress to Reform ‘Troubled Teen Industry’ in Op-Ed

Paris Hilton is drawing from her own traumatic experiences in the “troubled teen industry” to push for change on a federal level.

The This Is Paris star, 40, called on President Joe Biden and Congress to enact reform for youth in congregate care and behavior-modification programs, as she detailed her experiences in the system for an op-ed published Monday by the Washington Post.

She recounted the terrifying “parent-approved kidnapping” she experienced in the middle of the night, adding that her parents fell for the “misleading marketing” of facilities like Provo Canyon School in Utah — which she accused of abuse last year — after spending time there and at other boarding schools as a teenager.

“At all four facilities I was sent to in my teens, I endured physical and psychological abuse by staff: I was choked, slapped across the face, spied on while showering and deprived of sleep. I was called vulgar names and forced to take medication without a diagnosis,” Hilton wrote. “At one Utah facility, I was locked in solitary confinement in a room where the walls were covered in scratch marks and blood stains.”

Hilton called attention to last year’s death of 16-year-old Cornelius Frederick, for which three staff members at the Lakeside Academy in Kalamazoo, Michigan, were charged with involuntary manslaughter earlier this month. Frederick’s May 2020 death was ruled a homicide, after he was allegedly forcibly restrained by staffers in response to him throwing a sandwich.

Although Lakeside Academy reformed their policies around restraint, Hilton called for systemic change. “No child should die in the name of ‘treatment.’ But too many children have,” she added in her op-ed.

“Congress and President Biden need to enact a basic federal ‘bill of rights’ for youth in congregate care. Every child placed in these facilities should have a right to a safe, humane environment, free from threats and practices of solitary confinement, and physical or chemical restraint at the whim of staff,” Hilton wrote. “Had such rights existed and been enforced, I and countless other survivors could have been spared the abuse and trauma that have haunted us into adulthood.

“Congress must also provide states with funding to create comprehensive reporting systems for incidents of institutional abuse and to establish standards for best practices and staff training. It should also require states to prove that children’s basic rights are being protected.

“Ensuring that children, including at-risk children, are safe from institutional abuse, neglect and coercion isn’t a Republican or Democratic issue — it’s a basic human rights issue that requires immediate action. Those in power have an obligation to protect the powerless,” she concluded.

Hilton first opened up last August about the alleged abuse she faced during her 11 months at Provo Canyon, the fourth and final boarding school she attended. “I knew it was going to be worse than anywhere else,” she told PEOPLE at the time.

“It was supposed to be a school, but [classes] were not the focus at all. From the moment I woke up until I went to bed, it was all day screaming in my face, yelling at me, continuous torture,” Hilton added. “The staff would say terrible things. They were constantly making me feel bad about myself and bully me. I think it was their goal to break us down. And they were physically abusive, hitting and strangling us. They wanted to instill fear in the kids so we’d be too scared to disobey them.”

When reached by PEOPLE for comment on the allegations, the school responded: “Originally opened in 1971, Provo Canyon School was sold by its previous ownership in August 2000. We therefore cannot comment on the operations or patient experience prior to this time.”

The Simple Life star later released a documentary on the topic, titled This Is Paris. Paris has since protested the school alongside fellow survivors, and she’s been met with support from stars like Drew Barrymore, Paris Jackson and Kat Von D, who’ve said they had similar experiences in facilities like Provo Canyon.

Hilton gave an emotional testimony against Provo Canyon in February, in support of a since-passed bill by Utah State Sen. Michael McKell, which called for reform to the state’s laws surrounding similar institutions.

“After experiencing abuse at Provo Canyon School, it has been incredibly empowering to have advocated for and help pass SB 127 with Senator Mike McKell, a law that increases oversight of the led Teen Industry in Utah and places significant limits on the use of restraint, drugs, and seclusion rooms among other methods,” she told PEOPLE in a statement when the bill passed. “I needed this bill when I was in residential care and I am honored to support the thousands of youth who now have greater protections. This is only the beginning – I plan to approach the federal arena with a bill that will protect youth across the nation in these types of facilities.”

If you suspect child abuse, call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-Child or 1-800-422-4453, or go to www.childhelp.org. All calls are toll-free and confidential. The hotline is available 24/7 in more than 170 languages.

What kind of cheese is Paris Hilton? Netflix’s Cooking With Paris star answers EW’s culinary questions

It’s not unusual for stars to try their hand at cooking for our televised entertainment, but Paris Hilton heading into the kitchen in full glam (and gloves!) for Netflix’s Cooking With Paris promises to make the culinary experience hot(ter than ever).

Across six episodes, The Simple Life star teams up with celebrity pals to sauté, slice, and sear as she masters “exotic kitchen appliances” (there’s a “sparkly Swarovski crystal-covered spatula thing” in the mix) in a very glamorous attempt to bring us new recipes, entertaining tips — and even new words.

Ahead of Cooking With Paris premiering on the streaming service on Aug. 4, we asked Hilton some highly important, burning culinary questions.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Pick your desert-island food.
PARIS HILTON: A potato, because you could do mashed potatoes, french fries, potato chips, or a baked potato. You can make a lot of things out of it. I’m obsessed with McDonald’s french fries, so I’d try and copy those.

What three fictional guests would you invite to a dinner party?
Barbie, Tinker Bell from Peter Pan, and Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I’d make them cupcakes and angel food cake.

If you could have dinner with any three real people, dead or alive, who would they be?
Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, and Madonna. I’d make them penne with pink sauce.

What’s your favorite pop culture food moment?
My Carl’s Jr. commercial. I love it.

If you were to identify as a type of coffee, which would it be?
A vanilla latte.

Name a cooking utensil you can’t live without.
There’s so much cute stuff in my kitchen, [ but I’d say my sparkly Swarovski crystal-covered spatula thing.

Your favorite music to cook to…
Me, “Stars Are Blind.”

If you were in a food fight, what would be your weapon of choice?
The spiciest peppers made into a salsa. I’d throw it in their eyes.

Who is your favorite celebrity chef?
Me. I’m kidding. Martha Stewart.

If you could be a kind of cheese, which would you be?
I guess cheddar, because it’s my favorite.

Name a fashion accessory you can’t cook without.
I’ve always loved gloves for everything. It’s my vibe. My trademark. I think they look great for cooking — it’s just part of the brand.

When you think back on your childhood, what’s the best meal your mom [Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newcomer Kathy Hilton] made?
The thing she taught me that I love making the most is lasagna, but of course I have to change it to “sliving” [one of Hilton’s signature words, meaning slaying + living] lasagna — put a little Paris wisdom into it.

Name a condiment you can’t live without.
Ketchup. I love ketchup on everything.

Cooking With Paris premieres Aug. 4 on Netflix.
