NEW YORK – Paris Hilton is "sliving" her best life.
The multi-hyphenate businesswoman, singer and DJ sparkled on the runway to close the fashion show for The Blonds, which celebrated its 20th anniversary Monday, Sept. 14, with a New York Fashion Week show and glittering after-party.
Hilton strutted and pranced down the catwalk to cheers in a black-and-silver bodysuit, adorned with countless gems, atop a sheer black long-sleeved catsuit with matching crystal collar, black fingerless elbow-length gloves and thigh-high black pointed-toe boots covered in silver crystals.
And what's old is new again: Always the glamour tech girl, she posed for the pit of photographers with the latest Motorola Razr touchscreen flip phone (which was, of course, bedazzled).
Hilton's younger sister, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, was on hand in the front row, hugging Beyoncé stylist Ty Hunter upon entering the show at Lavan Midtown. Rapper French Montana was also spotted front row.
The Blonds, created by Phillipe and David Blond, have created looks for your favorite celebrity's favorite celebrity: multiple Beyoncé looks, iconic Madonna and Lady Gaga pieces and Katy Perry's "California Gurls" music video look, to name a few.
A retrospective video of the many pop culture moments outfitted by The Blonds kicked off the show before Phillipe Blond, blond hair nearly touching the floor, opened the show in a blinding V-neck catsuit covered in silver, gold and blue crystals with exaggerated shoulders dripping in jewels and a golden studded belt.
"Pose" star Dominique Jackson, "Next Gen NYC" cast member Emira D'Spain, drag icon Aquaria and YouTuber Gigi Gorgeous also hit the runway for the show, posing in the over-the-top looks that have become synonymous with The Blonds.
The show's partnership with Motorola "really helped us elevate. … We're showing for the first time, unlocking the archive and showing pieces we haven't shown in – some of them – 20 years," David Blond tells USA TODAY before the show.
"This is really our love letter to New York. All of the people who have inspired us, everyone we've ever worked with," he says. "One of the great things about this season is that not only are we going through all these different decades and time frames and eras of our career, but we're introducing a few new pieces."
Hilton, who David Blond calls "the ultimate blonde," closed "with a new piece that's actually inspired by the new Motorola phone. … It's all the same colorways as the Swarovski crystals that are included on the phone, so all the textures, all the different things, including the actual logo, have inspired and been built into the design."
In terms of the brand's legacy, David Blond says, "Our core message has always been [that] anyone can be glamorous. I mean, Phillipe and I both grew up on on islands, very isolated. Then we ended up meeting here in New York 25 years ago, and then we built this company together, and it's a legacy about community, about inclusivity and about the idea of glamor being something that connects people, and it's not just entertainment. It's something that really just is a positive has a positive effect. It really, I think, moves the culture forward in a way that you can't deny."
