The Hilton sisters were a society and party circuit staple of the noughties, and the beloved duo made a triumphant return for Paris Fashion Week.
The siblings and former Tatler cover girls were reunited for the Chanel SS24 show at the Grand Palais Ephemere this week and made sure to show brand loyalty. Paris wore a hot pink faux fur co-ord with a Chanel knitted top and accessories, while her younger sister opted for a more muted white boucle skirt suit with a feather trim and classic black and white Chanel heels.

They were joined on the front row by a coterie of stars, from Riley Keough and her Daisy Jones and the Six co-star Camille Morrone, to Penelope Cruz, Emilia Clarke, Hari Nef and Inès de la Fressange. The sisters themselves were sat next to pop superstar Usher, while supermodel Gigi Hadid took to the runway.
Neither sister is a stranger to fashion week and Paris herself made her Paris Fashion Week catwalk debut earlier this week at the Mugler show. Her signature stride was deployed to great effect as she walked with other high-profile names from Angela Basset to Helena Christensen. The siblings were also spotted at this week’s Valentino show: Nicky in hot read and Paris in head-to-toe Barbie pink, a shade arguably established by Paris, but perfected by the French brand in their now iconic all-pink FW 22/23 collection.
Maternity, but make it fashion
Nicky is herself a fixture of the society scene as much as the fashion one. Her marriage to British banking heir James Rothschild, grandson of Victor Rothschild, 3rd Baron Rothschild, put her firmly on the scene. Their wedding took place in the orangery of Kensington Palace Gardens and was attended by guests including Chelsea Clinton, Kate Beckinsale, Pavlos and Marie Chantal of Greece, Naomi Campbell and Vera Wang. Nicky wore Valentino couture and Paris was her maid of honour.
Paris, herself, married businessman Carter Reum in Los Angeles in November 2022 and announced the birth of their first child, a son born by surrogacy, in January of this year. She was a Tatler cover girl in May 2021 and Nicky shared her own Tatler cover with Sabine Getty in 2019.
