Paris Hilton took her fans on a nostalgic trip at the opening of the Klarna’s House of Y2K launch party in Los Angeles last night. The interactive experience dives deep into how fashion trends and shopping have evolved over the past 20 years.
Committing to the early aughts theme, Hilton recreated one of her most iconic looks — a silver chainmail dress and matching choker necklace that she wore to celebrate her 21st birthday in 2002. While her original Julian MacDonald party dress had a plunging halter neckline and daring slit, the “Simple Life” star updated the style with a strapless corset minidress and fingerless gloves.

To amp up the glam factor, the “Stars Are Blind” singer accessorized with tinted shades and a small glittery clutch. She styled her bangs straight and added a slight wave to the ends of her hair.
Giving the look a glitzy boost, the heiress slipped into a pair of sparkling silver pumps. The shoe style had a sharp triangular pointed-toe, a high counter at the back for extra support and sat atop a thin stiletto heel.

Pointed-toe pumps remain as one of the most versatile and timeless shoe styles. The slip-on silhouette matches a variety of looks easily, while the construction of the heels proves to be both luxe and durable.

Hilton has served as a style inspiration for many years and helped create notoriety around brands like Juicy Couture. The “Simple Life” star has a wide-ranging shoe wardrobe. She has worn a variety of pumps and sneakers by Steve Madden, Jimmy Choo and Giuseppe Zanotti over the years, frequently accented with maximalist crystals or mixed materials. Her footwear rotation also includes Alaia boots, Rothy’s flats and K-Swiss sneakers.
As 2023 has just begun, it’s certain to be a big year for Hilton with the arrival of her baby and her memoir on the way in addition to being a business mogul.
