Paris Hilton Brings Back Vivienne Westwood’s Most Famous Platforms at Paris Fashion Week

Published

on

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.

She was one of the magazine’s seven cover stars for the year and also served as a co-host of the event.

Hailey wore a floor-length halter-neck vintage Gucci dress by Tom Ford, consisting of a sheer bodice covered in sequins.

This look has been seen on Kim Kardashian and Solange.

Days after her best friend Kendall Jenner’s beach birthday party, where transparency and party dresses were the theme, Hailey arrived at the awards in a look similar to that.

Rihanna was seen recently, leaving the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Vital Records, where she stopped in regard to her daughter Rocki’s birth records. The singer welcomed her third child in September, and even in the course of her day-to-day activities, she still looked put-together.

She wore a monochrome black-and-white piece that gave a new take on office-inspired tailoring. She paired an oversized shoulder padded black blazer with unfinished hems over a white button-up shirt, leaving the collar pointed. The blazer’s raw edges matched her fitted black trousers, which sat above her ankles, revealing her black patent leather pumps from Balenciaga.

Cynthia Erivo opted for a navy blue and black structured piece by Prada. The dress was a combination of two fabrics: a soft satin-like material and a PVC-like band of fabric on the skirt, straps and detachable sleeves. She accessorized with a waist belt and jewelry by Roberto Coin. Her signature long nails tied the outfit together.

The premiere was hosted at Cineworld in Leicester Square. “Wicked: For Good” is the follow-up to the 2024 Oscar-winning film “Wicked,” based on the hit Tony Award-winning musical. The story follows a relationship between Elphaba, Wicked Witch of the West (played by Cynthia Erivo), and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North (played by Ariana Grande), as the backstory of the ‘Wizard of Oz’ begins to unfold.
