Inside Nylon’s Epic Paris Hilton Album Release Party
Celebrating the singer’s new album with an epic performance? That’s hot.
If you think you can throw a party, think again. Paris Hilton waltzed into New York to kick off Fashion Week and launch her new album the only way she knows how—with glam, glitter, and a lot of surprises.
On Sept. 5, Nylon hosted one of their legendary Nylon Nights to celebrate Paris Hilton’s sophomore album, *Infinite Icon*. Fans waited nearly two decades for a follow-up to her 2006 debut, *Paris*. A grand occasion like this screamed for an extravagant bash, and Hilton alongside Nylon made sure they delivered.
As soon as guests walked into the magnificent Hall des Lumieres, they were met with a feast of Hilton-approved delights. Attendees snatched up custom bedazzled shoes from HeyDude, snapped selfies with Y2K-inspired Motorola Razr smartphones, indulged in sparkly sweets from the MCoBeauty Ice Cream Parlor, and sipped on Absolut Sliving Cosmos in honor of the one and only, Paris Hilton.
A constellation of stars filled the room. Think Hayley Williams, Selma Blair, Coco Rocha, Paris Jackson, Dylan Mulvaney, Tyler Cameron, and Gia Giudice. These VIPs boogied all evening to electrifying DJ sets from Mia Moretti and Beau Cruz.
As the night buzzed on, a countdown to the main event kept everyone in eager anticipation. Just after 11:30 PM, Hilton took to the stage for an exclusive performance to celebrate her album release.
Strutting in a dazzling pink minidress with thigh-high boots and matching gloves, the pop icon commenced with her new single, “BBA” (which stands for “Bad B*tch Academy” FYI). As if to remind everyone how to ace the art of looking effortlessly fab, she then launched into her timeless 2004 hit “Stars Are Blind.” The nostalgia was so powerful, it moved her mom, Kathy Hilton, to tears.
As if dominating the stage wasn’t enough, Hilton dissolved into the DJ booth and flipped the party’s energy up several notches. She mixed dance-ready remixes of her fave tracks, from Taylor Swift’s “Style” to her BFF Britney Spears’ chart-toppers. And she wasn’t solo—her mom Kathy, sister Nicky Hilton Rothschild, and the hilarious Tiffany Haddish joined the onstage fiesta.
You thought that was it? Think again! Hilton had a final jaw-dropping surprise before turning the night over to everyone’s own devices. Out of DJ booth shadows emerged Megan Thee Stallion, ready to drop their new “BBA” remix for the first time ever. Talk about leaving with a bang!
It’s a safe bet that Hilton and her fabulous guests were utterly ‘sliving’ (that’s slaying and living) at this spectacular bash.
Let’s face it, when Paris Hilton throws a party, you don’t just attend—you experience it. And this album release was nothing short of unforgettable.
