Paris Hilton, the original IT girl of the early noughties, is claiming her rightful place as the “mother” of 21st-century fashion. The billionaire heiress, now 43, believes that her daring outfit choices from back in the day have paved the way for today’s most famous fashion designers.
In a recent interview with Flaunt magazine, Paris revealed that she was always a risk-taker when it came to fashion, relying on her own instincts rather than a stylist. She reminisced about the tabloid headlines that used to criticize her outrageous looks, only to see those same looks now being celebrated on runways by top designers.
Paris expressed her delight at finally receiving the credit she believes she deserves for her fashion influence. She also touched on her role as the “inventor” of selfies, a trend that has become a staple in today’s social media culture.
The mother of two, who welcomed her children via surrogacy with husband Carter Reum, emphasized the importance of self-expression and control in the age of social media. She highlighted how selfies allow individuals to share intimate moments and showcase their real lives without the intrusion of paparazzi.
For Paris, being recognized as a trailblazer in both fashion and social media is a validation of her unique style and personality. As she continues to evolve and embrace motherhood, she remains a symbol of empowerment and self-expression in the ever-changing landscape of celebrity culture.
