Paris Hilton is dazzling. Literally. Sitting across from the media mogul in New York\u2019s Waldorf Astoria \u2014 with her clad in a black bomber jacket from Karl Lagerfeld Paris<\/a> customized with crystal embellishments along the collar, pockets, and back \u2014 I can\u2019t help but notice the glitz. (She needs all the sparkle for when she takes the DJ booth later today to celebrate the brand\u2019s Spring 2026 campaign.)<\/p>\n

The 45-year-old entrepreneur has been the face of Lagerfeld\u2019s eponymous label since August. In the months that followed, she\u2019s starred in two spots, both titled \u201cFrom Paris With Love.\u201d To keep the buzz going, the brand is hours away from taking over Herald Square, one of NYC\u2019s busiest hubs, for a pop-up DJ set. Poised in front of Macy\u2019s flagship store, Hilton is set to play a 30-minute set atop a Parisian-styled vintage double-decker before heading to an afterparty inside the iconic building.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve loved Karl Lagerfeld and his fashion since I was a little girl. He was just so talented, and all of his pieces were always so chic, timeless, and iconic,\u201d says Hilton, who clearly took style cues from the late designer. Her collar mimics Lagerfeld\u2019s crisp white button-downs, while her jacket features patches of the designer and his beloved cat, Choupette. She\u2019s also wearing bedazzled fingerless gloves: \u201cI got [the gloves] from Karl. They\u2019re now one of my trademarks as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The April 20 event for Karl Lagerfeld Paris comes weeks ahead of the 2026 Met Gala, an exclusive fete Hilton has only attended once so far. Coincidentally, her one-time appearance was tied to the designer.<\/p>\n

In keeping with the theme \u201cKarl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,\u201d Hilton made her Met Gala debut in 2023 wearing her best tribute to the legend. She even stepped out of her comfort zone for the occasion. Marc Jacobs, who designed her look, told Vogue at the time<\/a> that he thought \u201cit would be interesting and exciting to see her in a black gown \u2019cause it\u2019s not typical for Paris.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deviating from her colorful (read: pink) palette was a no-brainer for the infinite icon<\/a>. \u201cSince the theme of the Met Gala was all about Karl, I wanted it to really embody him. So when Marc came to me with the inspiration for the look, I was immediately drawn to it, and just thought it was so perfect for the event,\u201d she recalls. \u201cI loved all the crystal detailing. It was leather. It was just so fantastic.\u201d <\/p>\n

To this day, the dress holds a special place in her heart \u2014 and her home. \u201cI [still] have it in my closet,\u201d she says. \u201cI was just looking at it last week. It\u2019s such a beautiful piece.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since then, noir has fully infiltrated her wardrobe, further proving Lagerfeld\u2019s lasting impact. \u201cI think [black is] so chic, always,\u201d she says. \u201cI was just at Coachella last weekend, and I wore this whole look that was all black. I just think it looks beautiful on, no matter what \u2014 day or night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, though. She\u2019ll always have a soft spot for her signature color: \u201cI love pink, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n
