Paris Hilton Just Took the Mob Wives Animal Print Trend to the High Seas—And Totally Nailed It

Paris Hilton has done it again. And by “again,” I mean totally nailed a trend. From her sparkly Y2K-inspired dresses to her effortlessly glam Coachella looks, there’s no denying that the entrepreneur knows how to serve a moment. Her latest look? Proof that animal print is going everywhere—even out to sea.

ICYMI, animal print is having a major moment this year. I'm talking cow, zebra, tiger, leopard, cheetah—you name it. And while you might expect to see those patterns on red carpets or at Instagram-worthy brunches, Paris just gave it a nautical twist I didn’t see coming.

The multihyphenate took to Instagram this week to share a carousel of photos featuring her husband Carter Reum and their two kids, Phoenix and London, soaking up the sun on a boat in Sardinia, Italy. “Sliving in Sardinia with my #CutesieCrew,” she captioned the post. “Making the most magical memories with the people I love most #LovesIt.”

The photo set includes sweet family moments like scuba diving, ice cream breaks and scenic views but it’s the opening shot that really stopped me mid-scroll. Paris is seen sitting with one child on her lap and another beside her, dressed head-to-toe in leopard print. Yes, full leopard on a boat. And honestly? She pulls it off like only Paris Hilton could.

Now, I’m not saying animal print isn’t boat-appropriate (see: Simone Biles rocking it in bikini form poolside) but full leopard pants while sailing is a bold move and I’m here for it.

Paris isn’t the only one embracing the look. Serena Williams recently turned heads in a leopard-print Dolce & Gabbana x SKIMS collab dress at a Vogue and Audemars Piguet celebration.

Safe to say: animal print isn’t going anywhere. And thanks to Paris, it just got a sea-worthy upgrade.
