Paris Hilton took the stage at the 2024 Jingle Ball like the dean of the Bad B**** Academy herself, serving a look that was nothing short of an entrance exam in confidence.
For both the red carpet and her performance of her song “BBA,” Hilton shimmered in a bold silver metallic minidress set that brought Y2K nostalgia to life — something she knows very well from her Simple Life era with Nicole RIchie — while staying fresh and modern with its fluid, shimmering design. The dress had a plunging, draped neckline that flowed down her torso into a smooth, fitted miniskirt. Bright, colorful details along the bust added a fun pop of personality to the show-stopping look.

She enhanced the light-catching look with a matching cropped jacket, styled like a cape and attached to the sleeves, complemented by fingerless opera gloves. A thick choker-style necklace in the same silver shade drew attention to her neck, while thigh-high boots with a glitzy, disco-ball finish added a playful yet daring edge.
Keeping her whole look playful, she wore a high half-ponytail with soft waves cascading down her back, paired with a sleeker section left loose for a bit of playful contrast. When she was offstage, she popped on some matching futuristic sunglasses.
Hilton’s revived music career has been something of a cathartic outlet for the multi-hyphenate. Last October, the singer shared an exclusive behind-the-scenes look of the music video for her song “ADHD,” a song in which she reframes having ADHD as a “superpower.”
“Life is boring. You need magic and sparkle,” Hilton shared with SheKnows in the behind-the-scenes clip of the music video, which which exploded with vibrant colors in a fairytale-like setting full of dreamy blue, pink, and purple waters, and orange and yellow shimmering butterflies.
Hilton’s shimmering Jingle Ball look wasn’t just an outfit — it was pure sparkle-powered proof that she turns every moment into magic.
