Paris Hilton brought her signature sense of spectacle to the BoF500 Gala in Paris, choosing a look that put intricate lace, transparency, and dramatic styling at the centre of attention.
The socialite and entrepreneur arrived at the fashion event in Annie’s Theodora Gown, an elaborate floor-length black lace design that offered a striking interpretation of evening glamour. With its fitted silhouette, high neckline and delicate floral construction, the gown balanced classic elegance with a distinctly daring attitude.
Constructed almost entirely from black lace, the gown created a play between transparency and coverage. The design incorporated more opaque panels around the centre of the body, while scalloped edges and curved lace details defined the silhouette.
The effect was particularly dramatic below the hips, where the floral lace became increasingly transparent and continued all the way to the floor. The fitted shape followed Hilton’s figure before opening subtly toward the hem, creating movement without taking attention away from the intricate workmanship.
Hilton kept the styling deliberately restrained, allowing the gown to remain the centrepiece. She paired the look with pointed black heels and added a distinctly futuristic element with narrow black sunglasses.
Her beauty look continued the balance between glamour and attitude. Hilton wore her blonde hair in a high, tousled updo, with loose curled strands framing her face. Rather than competing with the elaborate lace through excessive jewellery, she kept accessories minimal.
Annie’s Theodora Gown also let Hilton lean into one of the most persistent trends on the fashion calendar: sheer dressing. However, instead of relying solely on transparency, the design uses varying lace densities to create visual depth and structure.
That detail makes the gown feel more considered than a straightforward sheer evening dress. The floral motifs, scalloped edges and strategically positioned opaque sections create a pattern that changes as the silhouette moves.
Annie’s later shared images from the evening, confirming Hilton’s choice of the Theodora Gown for the gala. Hilton herself appeared pleased with the result, responding to the brand’s social media post with a simple but confident “Slayed.”
Images from the event also offered a closer look at the gown against the BoF backdrop, highlighting just how extensively the lace construction shaped the overall appearance.
The look arrives during a particularly fashion-heavy period for Hilton, who has continued to embrace highly distinctive styling choices during Fashion Week. This latest appearance once again demonstrates her willingness to treat the red carpet as a space for experimentation rather than playing it safe.
At the BoF500 Gala, the combination of dramatic black lace, a body-skimming silhouette, minimalist accessories and futuristic sunglasses gave Hilton a look that was both glamorous and unmistakably modern.
For Paris Hilton, it was another Fashion Week appearance designed not merely to complement the occasion, but to become part of the conversation.
