Some style signatures never fade — they just wait for the right moment to return. This week, Paris Hilton proved exactly that as she stepped out in New York City wearing a look that felt ripped straight from the early 2000s, with a knowing wink to her own fashion legacy.
Hilton was spotted midweek rocking a psychedelic, multi-colored top from Emilio Pucci, a brand whose swirling prints once ruled red carpets and paparazzi shots alike. The bold Marmo-patterned blouse featured flowing, semi-circular streaks of red, green, and blue, arranged in scalloped lines that immediately stood out against the gray winter backdrop.
The high-neck top carried strong ’70s energy, but Hilton grounded the look in classic black leather. She paired it with straight-leg trousers, glossy patent-leather boots, and a structured black leather cargo jacket trimmed with fur along the collar and cuffs. The contrast made the Pucci print pop even harder.
Accessories pushed the look fully into fashion-history territory. Hilton carried a navy-and-black flap bag from Chanel, embellished with sequins and the house’s unmistakable double-C logo. Diamond stud earrings and inky cat-eye sunglasses from Prada added polish.
But the real nostalgia hit came from two unmistakable details. Tucked in her arm was her teacup Chihuahua, Prince Tokyo Gizmo Hilton — a living callback to her early aughts era. In her hand, she held a hot-pink Razr phone, instantly transporting fans back nearly two decades. The device appeared to be a modern version tied to her recent collaboration with a mobile phone company, blending old-school flair with updated tech.
Pucci prints were once a uniform for the era’s It girls — from Lindsay Lohan to Nicole Richie to Jennifer Lopez — and Hilton was always at the center of that moment. While her style has evolved over the years, this look made one thing clear: the connection never really left.
Bringing back your own iconic fashion era? That’s not nostalgia. That’s confidence.
