Is Paris Hilton about to convince you that low-rise jeans and bedazzled everything are actually fashion goals? Because the OG princess of early 2000s excess just went there, honey.
While celebrating her latest campaign with NYX Professional Makeup, Paris served up some seriously spicy takes on which Y2K looks are absolutely worthy of a red carpet resurrection and which ones should be locked away in a digital vault forever. And let us tell you, her opinions are as iconic and unapologetic as she is.
The 43-year-old fashion icon—who basically INVENTED half the looks everyone’s obsessing over right now—didn’t hold back when discussing the era that made her a household name. She’s totally here for bringing back the glamorous, sparkly, over-the-top vibes that defined the early 2000s, because obviously those were the days when “more is more” actually meant something. Think rhinestones, hot pink everything, and silhouettes that showed… well, everything.
But Paris wasn’t about to let ALL the Y2K trends slide back into our closets without judgment. She’s drawing a hard line on certain fashion choices that, in her expert opinion, should absolutely stay in the past where they belong. We’re not naming names, but let’s just say not every early 2000s trend was created equal, and Paris is the ultimate authority on what passes the test of time.
Fans are absolutely losing it over her hot takes, flooding social media with both agreement and hilarious pushback. Some stans are ready to dig out their old cargo pants and baby tees immediately, while others are clutching their pearls at the suggestion of bringing back certain silhouettes. The generational fashion debate is REAL right now.
What makes this even more delicious is that Paris is literally the person who made these looks iconic in the first place. She’s not just commenting on Y2K fashion—she IS Y2K fashion. So when she says something should stay buried, you better believe there’s legitimate cultural significance behind it.
The makeup mogul continues to prove that she’s still the trendsetter we’ve always known her to be, whether she’s launching beauty campaigns or deciding the fashion fate of an entire era. That’s hot. Or is it? According to Paris, some things definitely are—and some things definitely aren’t.
What do you think? A) Paris is right, some Y2K trends should stay in the past B) Bring back ALL the early 2000s fashion, no exceptions
