Paris Hilton Brings Back Vivienne Westwood’s Most Famous Platforms at Paris Fashion Week
On Saturday, Paris Hilton delivered a bit of fashion history to Paris Fashion Week by wearing a pair of Vivienne Westwood platforms inspired by the brand’s renowned 1993 Super-Elevated designs. Built on a substantial block platform with a steeply arched sole, the shoes had the sculptural height and corseted lacing that once made Westwood’s Gillies a runway icon.
The mix of cream and ice-gray suede and leather in Hilton’s design lent her voluminous green gown a vintage silhouette, while the cutout panels, crisscross ties, and wraparound platform brought back the dramatic elevation that defined Westwood’s provocative legacy.

The drama didn’t end with her shoe, it was present in her feather-trimmed, lavender-and-green gown, which was made on a panniered skirt. A diamond collar, white gloves, and cat-eye glasses connected it to Westwood’s distinctive blend of punk edge and couture polish.
Throughout her career, Hilton, who has always favoured maximalist statements, has returned to Westwood’s style, from platform-heavy performance outfits to corseted shapes on the red carpet. Her return to the brand in Paris comes after a summer filled with equally daring shoe moments, such as Gianvito Rossi’s fitting suede boots at Tribeca and rhinestone Stuart Weitzman thigh-highs at WeHo Pride.

The reference point was clear. In 1993, Naomi Campbell’s iconic fall during Westwood’s runway show made the Super-Elevated Gillies a symbol of fashion bravery. Campbell later joked that the nine-inch heels “tested her balance and pride,” and Westwood famously described the stumble as “beautiful, like a gazelle.” The occasion helped to solidify the British designer’s reputation for challenging convention and reinventing femininity via danger.
Hilton’s public character has always combined self-parody and elegance, so the nod feels deliberate, a link between two generations of women who mastered spectacle on their own terms. Whereas Campbell’s moment caught the danger of fashion, Hilton’s reinterpretation embraces its longevity, the notion that style history can be humorous, self-aware, and towering in every way.

Bridgeton star, Simone Ashley, sets the mood for the 2026 summer in her recent collaboration with Burberry.

The campaign officially dropped on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. Shot by photographer Ryan McGinley and featuring a campaign film directed by Francis Plummer. While the theme is British, filming took place in South Africa to capture the consistent “high summer” sun.

Simone was particularly excited about this campaign. “So excited to share my Burberry summer campaign!!! This was so much fun, in the South African sun,” she shared on her Instagram.
She stars alongside “The Hunger Games” actor, Tom Blyth, model Alva Claire, and a cast of professional synchronized swimmers to achieve this campaign.
Gigi Hadid stepped out in New York wearing a piece from her own label, Guest in Residence, in a look that felt in line with the easy, everyday style she’s known for.
The supermodel was on her way to a Tommy Hilfiger photoshoot, wearing a tomato-red cardigan from her cashmere line, offering a practical option for the city’s spring weather.

The cardigan, which was a part of the Guest in Residence Spring 2026 collection, came in a rich tomato-red shade. It featured slightly puffy sleeves with snug cuffs and hem. It had tortoiseshell buttons, worn partially unbuttoned at the bottom, revealing a hint of skin. She layered it over a cropped long-sleeve white top.

The model paired the bold knit with classic blue jeans in a vintage wash, held with a slim brown leather belt. Her accessories included a brown suede triangle tote and oversized sunglasses that complemented the outfit.
Hadid wore brown leather loafers from The Row, styled with white socks, matching them with her bag. Her hair, styled by Dimitri, was worn in a soft blowout with a slight C-shaped mid-length blunt cut with softly curved ends.

The outfit shows Gigi Hadid’s preference for comfort. Speaking with Harper’s Bazaar back in 2022, during the launch of her brand, the model said: “My goal in life is to look as chic or put together as possible while always being comfortable. I very rarely, even on red carpets, will wear things that I feel uncomfortable in throughout the event because I just feel like I can’t be myself as much when I’m thinking about what I’m wearing in that way.”

She paired the look with jewellery from Bulgari’s Serpenti collection, including diamond and emerald pieces set in 18-karat white gold, valued at over $100,000.
