One of the most recognized and iconic celebrities in the world has a birthday this Saturday, February 17, and it is none other than Paris Hilton. The heiress of the most recognized hotel empire in the world celebrates her 43rd birthday today, and she does so as a proud mother of a family with her husband, Carter Reum, and her two children, Phoenix and London. The life of the businesswoman and model has changed a lot throughout all this time, as has her image and her style when it comes to dressing. In fact, she herself wanted to remember some of her most iconic outfits in a publication on her official Instagram account.
Long before Instagram and the Kardashians – with whom, by the way, she maintains a great friendship -, Paris was already a real star. Hilton was one of the first to bring her reality TV character to fame, and she was what was then known as an It girl, creating her own brand image. What we associate today with the ‘influencer phenomenon’ sounds like a joke when compared to her, a pioneer in charging for appearing at events. That is why she, in fact, could be considered the first influencer.
With more than 26 million followers on Instagram, she is not even remotely one of the most followed people on the planet, but she is one of those who leaves the most legacy in the world of photocalls and fashion. Two decades have passed since her debut in public events, in the early 2000s, but without a doubt her outfits will go down in history. That is why Paris wanted to share some of them on social networks on her 43rd birthday. “Happy almost birthday to me! Since it’s Aquarius season, I’m looking back at my iconic birthday dresses from the past. Which one is your favorite?!” she wrote on social media.
In the carousel of shared images, you can see some of her most iconic outfits, among which a shiny silver minidress stands out. It is the one he wore to one of his legendary parties, when he was still 21 years old. It is a spectacular design by Julien MacDonald and it could have cost around 7,900 euros, something understandable if we take into account that it is made from Swarovski crystals. He paired it with a matching choker.
On the other hand, in the images you can also see one of her most iconic styles. It is impossible to forget the little pink chiffon dress with which she appeared at a Britney Spears concert in 2001. On that occasion she paired it with some slingback sandals and a pink velvet backpack with Barbie’s face embedded. She also appears with a glitter tiara. The influencer shows three other outfits in the publication, and many followers and celebrities have been encouraged to comment on which of them is her favorite.
“Mmm the last one! I love you,” Kris Jenner wrote in the publication, alluding to Paris’s latest ‘outfit’, in an image in which they also appear together. “The slinky chainmail dress is pop history,” said a follower of the model. On the other hand, many have taken advantage of this publication to wish the businesswoman their best wishes on her birthday.
