That’s hot. Loves it. Sliving. The heiress,
reality star, business mogul and all around pop culture icon
Paris Hilton has given us many catchphrases over the years, as
well as peak Y2K fashion moments. Ultra-low-rise jeans, butterfly
motifs, velour tracksuits, everything Tinker Bell themed, bejeweled
flip phones, fake tans, and all pink, all the time epitomized
Hilton‘s idiosyncratic aesthetic.
With specific style standouts, from her “Stop Being Desperate”
T-shirt (which went viral when someone Photoshopped the phrase to
say, “Stop Being Poor”), and her 21st birthday silver shimmering
mini dress, to her various tongue in cheek slogan tees,
Hilton‘s stronghold on fashion was like none other.
Now, a leading lady of the NFT metaverse, the highest-paid
female DJ in the world, a newlywed, and advocate against abuse
within the “troubled teen” industry,
Hilton is at the top of her game.
In celebration of the Simple Life star’s 41st birthday,
GRAZIA has compiled 41 of
Hilton‘s most iconic looks.
