Paris Hilton Re-creates Her Iconic 21st-Birthday Chainmail Dress
Paris Hilton just made an iconic fashion reference—to herself.
Harper's BAZAAR's March 2023 cover star partied in Los Angeles last night at the Klarna & Paris Hilton House of Y2K Launch Party. Fittingly, she followed the early-aughts theme by re-creating the slinky chain mail dress and matching choker she wore for her 21st birthday back in 2002.
The 2002 look, designed by Julien Macdonald, featured a slinky silhouette, a cowl neckline, a thigh-high leg slit, and a bedazzled thick choker necklace. To update the look for 2023, Hilton wore a sparkling silver strapless minidress, also with a cowl neckline, and a matching glitzy choker. Her accessories were equally dazzling, including glittering silver pumps, fingerless gloves, a clutch, and even sunglasses.
This isn't the first time that Hilton has paid homage to her 21st birthday outfit. Performing with Miley Cyrus and Sia during a New Year's Eve party, the socialite wore a blush version of the chainmail minidress. And during a DJing gig in Spain back in 2017, Hilton again referenced the look in a rhinestone encrusted slip and matching choker.
Hilton opened up about growing up in the spotlight during her March 2023 cover story with BAZAAR.
“I feel so proud of the woman that I’ve become, because for so long I kept all of that with me,” she says. “All the negative, horrible words that they would say to me every single day, that sticks with you. I just was not secure. Now I feel that people finally respect me and get me in ways that they never did.”
