Paris Hilton once again leaned into her signature fashion sensibility during New York Fashion Week, stepping out in a striking sheer black dress from Alice + Olivia. With intricate lace, sparkling accessories and her unmistakable style, Hilton brought a touch of early-2000s glamour to the latest fashion week season.
The socialite and entrepreneur attended an Alice + Olivia event in New York, where her fitted lace dress became the look’s centrepiece.
Hilton’s Alice + Olivia dress featured intricate black lace through the fitted bodice before opening into a long, flowing skirt. The contrast between the structured upper section and softer lower silhouette gave the outfit a defined yet effortless shape.
The sheer construction let the black underwear underneath show, making transparency an intentional part of the styling. Rather than adding layers of accessories, Hilton allowed the lace and silhouette to do most of the work.
She paired the dress with black sunglasses, bringing a familiar dose of attitude to the ensemble. A sparkling silver handbag provided the biggest contrast against the dark outfit.
The Gucci crystal medium evening bag added plenty of shine, complementing the reflective details of the NYFW setting. Hilton kept the rest of her jewellery minimal, ensuring that the dress and handbag remained the standout elements.
Hilton wore her long blonde hair straight and loose, allowing it to fall naturally around her shoulders. Her beauty styling was kept relatively understated, which helped maintain the focus on the detailed lace dress.
She later shared event photos on Instagram, describing the evening as “Sliving in Wonderland” while tagging Alice + Olivia and Parivie Beauty.
The look also fits comfortably within Hilton’s long-standing relationship with sheer and embellished fashion. Throughout her career, she has frequently experimented with sparkling fabrics, transparent details and statement silhouettes, making the latest appearance feel like a continuation of an aesthetic closely associated with her public image.
Earlier during New York Fashion Week, Hilton appeared at the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women Dinner in a dramatic crystal-covered Gucci gown. That look relied heavily on sparkle and reflected light, while her Alice + Olivia ensemble took a darker and more delicate approach.
The two appearances nevertheless share a common thread: both use transparency and embellishment to create visual impact.
For Alice + Olivia, Hilton’s appearance also put the brand’s lace craftsmanship and eveningwear aesthetic in the spotlight. The dress shows how a traditionally romantic material such as lace can take on a contemporary edge through fitted construction and a sheer finish.
With her black sunglasses, blonde hair and sparkling handbag completing the ensemble, Hilton once again showed how she can take a familiar fashion formula and give it a distinctly personal finish at New York Fashion Week.
