Paris Hilton, the queen of neon and tiny dogs, decided to bless the universe with her new album Infinite Icon by throwing a party so star-studded, NASA got confused and started tracking it. On Thursday (September 5), the 43-year-old socialite-turned-pop-sensation teamed up with NYLON magazine to launch her musical masterpiece at NYLON Nights: Fashion Edition x Paris Hilton Infinite Icon Album Release Party, presented by none other than… wait for it… HEYDUDE shoes. Yep, the future of fashion and footwear collided in New York City’s Hall des Lumières, where “lumieres” translates to “expensive lightbulbs.”
Paris, who has apparently decided pink is not just a color but a lifestyle, sashayed around in not one, but two hot pink outfits. As if one pink look couldn’t fully contain her infinite fabulousness! She posed for photos, obviously, because if you don’t post it, did it even happen? Then she hit the stage to perform, because why not add “popstar” to her list of accomplishments, right after “professional influencer” and “pioneering chihuahua fashion.”
Now, this wasn’t your average party where you awkwardly hover by the snack table. No, no. Paris was joined onstage by some casual friends like her sister, Nicky Hilton, and Megan Thee Stallion, who collaborated on Infinite Icon. And when we say “collaborated,” we assume that means they wore equally dazzling outfits and threw confetti at each other, but that’s just speculation. Tiffany Haddish also hopped on stage, possibly doing a stand-up routine or just basking in the glow of Hilton’s neon magnificence.
The guest list was so packed with A-listers that even the paparazzi had to start alphabetizing their cameras. The room was glittering with the presence of Hayley Williams (bringing that punk-pop flair), Coco Rocha (serving fierce model vibes), Selma Blair (a walking legend), and Paris Jackson (probably reminding people she’s that Jackson). Then there was Brianne Howey, Remi Bader, Gia Giudice (yes, from Real Housewives fame), Miguel Harichi (who we’re sure is fabulous), Sofia Franklyn, Caylee Cowan, Sofia Hublitz, Harry Daniels, and Quincy Brown, who all definitely got the memo that the dress code was “stunning or nothing.”
After a quick 18-year break (because Paris only releases albums when the world is really ready), Infinite Icon dropped on Friday, immediately sending shockwaves through the pop culture universe. It’s safe to assume this album is the musical equivalent of a diamond-encrusted unicorn galloping through a cloud of glitter. In other words: iconic, darling, simply iconic.
