Celebrity Style: Paris Hilton

The American socialite Paris Hilton is a celebutante, heiress, model, media personality, singer and actress and is never out of the headlines for her ever-evolving feuds with other Hollywood party pack stars, ever-changing taste in pets and men, endless string of mishaps and most importantly clothes, shoes, hairstyle and her ostentatious diamond jewellery. Paris Hilton sets new standards for fashion and accessories and also for socialites every time she wakes up in the morning. You may chose to love her or hate her, but you just don’t have the option to ignore Paris Hilton. She's always in the spotlight wherever she goes.

The style icon

The ultimate fashion icon, Paris Hilton’s style is mostly impeccable, although there have been several occasions where she has been arrested by the fashion police for committing fashion faux pas of the highest order. This is mainly because the glamorous heiress takes her fashion quite seriously and loves to be outrageously sexy and daring in her choice of clothes, which as we all know, can go wrong.

Her famous craze for the colour pink has often been discussed in fashion magazines and over coffee tables. The celebutante, who has even gone to the extent of getting her car painted pink to suit her fancies, loves to dress up in everything pink. She pairs all her favourite pink piece of fashion with perfectly matching bright pink accessories, like a hot pink quilted bag for example. Her hair accessories, her jewellery, handbags and most famously her stiletto high heel shoes and everything else are prettified by the countless tones of pink. Speaking of her move to paint her Bentley Continental GT cherry blossom pink, the billionaire heiress nonchalantly says, “'I love it, it’s so pretty. I've just always wanted a pink car.”

Accessories and more accessories

The famous quote on fashion of Paris Hilton is "The only rule is don't be boring. Dress cute wherever you go." This hotel chain heiress pays a lot of attention to detail when it comes to her accessories. They are always in matching or in sync with her daring designer outfits. Recently, the ‘Hottie and the Nottie’ star was spotted in a blue and white sundress, blue cardigan, blue heels and blue handbag. And to top off the look she drove her customised blue Bentley.

Apart from her much talked about handbags, designer shoes and over-sized sunglasses that she always wears, the favourite, or rather the number one accessory of the ‘Simple Life’ star, is her Chihuahua. Paris has reportedly four Chihuahuas named Harajuku, Tokyo, Bambi, and Tinkerbell. She is even credited with popularizing the “toy dog” trend of carrying a small dog in one’s oversized purse, which she’s done with both Tinkerbell and her other Chihuahua, Bambi. The author of Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose, Paris wears her attitude on her sleeves. She was recently seen in a white tee with a statement, ‘I love shoes, bags and boys’. 

The party hearty actress is also said to be a huge fan of diamond jewellery. “I love fashion, and I love diamonds” proclaims Hilton who endorses Italian jewellery designer Damiani. Paris lately generated a lot of publicity by ordering $282k worth of diamonds for her Bentley’s dashboard. Nicknamed ‘Star’ and ‘Princess’, Paris also owns an ever growing personal collection of diamond necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that she wears to special events.

She is mad about shoes

Paris is a celebrated shoe lover. She is known to possess thousands of pairs of designer shoes. There were even talk of donating some of them to an orphanage but it is difficult to find somebody of her shoes size. The ‘Stars are Blind’ party professional wears size 11 shoes, so she has all her shoes custom-designed to fit her large feet. 

Apart from the large size, distinct features of Hilton’s shoes are high heels and sling backs. Her favourite shoe styles being pointed stilettos, shiny pumps, mid-calf boots, high heel knee-high boots, sexy open-toe pumps, platforms with high heels, wedges of varying colours, and sports shoes. Paris Hilton’s flat shoes, flip flops and sandals are also far from the ordinary. On special occasions you could see Paris wearing footwear by Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Christian Dior, Stuart Weitzman, Tylie Malibu, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Miu Miu and Yves Saint Laurent. Her love for animals is also prominently displayed in the choice of fabrics for her shoes that quite often sport leopard and zebra prints. The billionaire socialite also loves shoes with gold heels and those embellished with gems of different stones like rubies, amethysts, diamonds and emeralds.

According to stylists, Paris Hilton chooses an ideal pair of shoes for her outfits. Like her dress, they're fun and carefree, without being sloppy. Alongside her popular sportswear and fragrance lines, Paris also runs a footwear line. “I have always loved shoes and after working on my recently launched sportswear and fragrance lines this seemed like a natural next step”, commented the radical shoe princess on her much hyped Paris Hilton Footwear range.
