That’s hot.
In Paris Hilton FASHION Summer cover story for our Summer 2024 issue, fashion news and features director Annika Lautens writes this of our cover star, Paris Hilton: “She’s glowing — more than any fake tan. I don’t doubt that she’s been recently touched by a tanning machine, but, forgive the sentimentality, it really feels like it’s coming from within.”
Courtesy of makeup artist Melissa Hurkman, Hilton’s inner glow becomes even more apparent in her FASHION photo shoot with help from swipes of highlighter and swoops of sculpting bronzer. A sultry liner look accents her blue eyes, while she leans into soft glam with a nude lip. As for hair, stylist Lisa-Marie Powell went with effortless — yet voluminous — waves for this iconic blonde.
Ahead, we break down the hair, makeup and nail must-haves you’ll need to recreate Hilton’s glowing beauty look from our Summer 2024 spread.
Bombshell waves
Subtlety? We don’t know her. Channel Paris Hilton’s retro glam hair by following the steps and product recommendations below.
Formulated with keratin to leave hair feeling soft and silky, one pump of Tresemmé’s Keratin Smooth Weightless Silk Serum will get your hair looking as glossy as our cover star’s. What’s more, it’ll tame stubborn flyaways without weighing hair down, so you can flip your strands around all you want.
To mimic Hilton’s soft waves, reach for the Waver 1.25-inch attachment from Jen Atkin’s haircare brand Mane. Once you’ve clicked this hair tool into place on the Power Bottom Base (sold separately), lightly clamp the waver through your hair and release to reveal photoshoot-ready waves.
Since growing out of her Paris Hilton 2000s fashion era full of twee hair clips and side-bang pixie cuts, Hilton goes for hair that’s full of volume (but still that signature blonde!) these days. A few spritzes of Marc Anthony’s Style Flex 2-in-1 Adjustable Texture Spray will help you achieve her voluminous look while locking it all in with a dose of high shine. By twisting the nozzle on the bottle, you can adjust the spray’s “hold” level based on your own hair’s needs.
Glowing glamour
Malibu Barbie but make it glam! Sharp strokes of eyeliner are crucial for achieving this stunning makeup look, fit for a Hollywood icon.
On the eyes, exaggerated lower lashes and two sharp strokes of eyeliner give Hilton’s makeup a doll-like appeal. Thanks to its tapered tip, Chanel’s Intense Longwear Eyeliner pen will allow you to recreate her double-winged liner look with total precision.
New in from Nars, this Laguna Ultimate Face Palette comes with everything you’ll need to get Hilton’s California girl glow in a single palette. Use the brand’s iconic “Laguna” bronzer to warm up the cheekbones and forehead for a sun-lit look, followed by the “Drift Away” highlighter on the high points of the face to illuminate the skin.
For Hilton’s lip look, a cool-toned, pinky nude shade will do the trick. Makeup by Mario’s SuperSatin Lipstick in “South Shore” wears comfortably on the lips with a classically creamy feel and a soft sheen finish.
Pastel tips
No short-and-sweet nails here, Hollywood royalty like Hilton need a bit of length and a kiss of colour. honey. Read on for how to recreate her pastel mani.
Match Hilton’s pastel French manicure perfectly with Glamnetic’s “Confetti” style press on nails. To ensure you’ve got everything you need to flawlessly execute your mani (which can last you up to three weeks!), this kit comes with nail glue, a nail file, a cuticle stick and an alcohol pad.
If you look closely at Hilton’s Summer 2024 spread, you’ll see that her manicurist, Britney Tokyo, went with a chic almond-shaped set. A crystal nail file like this one by OPI will help you recreate this popular nail shape on your natural nails while preventing chipping and peeling in the process.
Prefer to paint your own pastel tips? You’ll need a neutral pink polish as your base colour. Butter London’s “Piece of Cake” polish is the perfect barely-there shade, and it’s packed with ingredients proven to make your nails look brighter, stronger, and healthier.
