It's a slay

Paris Hilton is known for a lot of things—her DJ career, her reality TV legacy, her political activism, podcasting—but no matter what she’s doing, one thing’s always true: she shows up in style. Her latest red carpet appearance? A perfect example.

Paris hit the red carpet for The Trainer premiere during the 2025 Tribeca Festival at SVA Theater in NYC and her look was pure glam with a serious touch of Y2K nostalgia.

The reality TV vet wore a one-shoulder black mini dress covered in sparkles and if that doesn't scream Y2K, I don't know what does. Glitter and sparkle were definitely a prominent trend during the early 2000s.

She paired with sky-high, thigh-high black heels and topped it off with a crystal choker, sheer gloves (both Y2K-esque accessories) and sunglasses. Her long blonde hair was styled in soft, cascading waves that framed her face perfectly. It was giving chic New York moment meets early-2000s heiress and I'm here for it.

Of course, Paris doesn’t just serve on the red carpet. She’s been dropping lewks all year long. Take Coachella, for example. Paris rolled up to the desert fest in a black fishnet jumpsuit with more cutouts than I could count. She styled it with a chunky choker, layered silver body chains, black boots, star-shaped earrings and a white fringe shawl. Her blonde hair was styled in playful half-up, half-down pigtails that screamed festival fashion.

And who could forget her birthday party back in February? She went full throwback with a pink, purple and silver sequin patchwork dress featuring off-the-shoulder sleeves, a plunging neckline and star details. She paired it with matching boots and (of course) a choker. Very Y2K, very on-brand.

Paris has always known how to turn a look—and clearly, she’s not stopping anytime soon. Keep ’em coming, queen.
