Paris Hilton has undergone a stunning transformation.
After that, Hilton’s fame continued to grow as she launched dozens of fragrance and clothing lines.
Want to know how Hilton went from socialite to reality star to businesswoman?
Here is the stunning transformation of Paris Hilton.
AsBusiness Insiderexplained, the Hilton family has a long history of success and wealth.
Paris' great-grandfather, Conrad Hilton, built the famous Hilton hotel empire throughout the early 1900s.
Conrad Jr. also continued to expand the hotel empire.
It’s easy to see how Paris had a significant advantage from the moment she was born.
Nevertheless, despite her origins, Paris has always been clear about her desire to earn her own money.
“But I’m not like that at all.”
She later added, “Things may seem to naturally come my way.
But I work hard for them, too.”
It’s clear that perfume has always been an incredibly important part of Hilton’s identity.
It’s no wonder, then, that she later said, “It’s who you are.”
It’s wonderful to discover that the star was eventually able to follow one of her childhood passions.
At one point, she was placed in solitary confinement.
However, Hilton’s parents were strict, so she initially struggled in her pursuit of fame.
When Hilton turned 18, she was finally free to pursue her dreams of modeling.
Notably, she met photographer David LaChapelle who took an iconic photo of her giving the finger.
Looking back, she confessed that her trauma at the time contributed to her attitude in the shot.
They attended the biggest parties, and the world was their oyster.
Hilton even denied being a celebrity herself.
“I was in an intimate relationship and never, ever thought these things would become public.”
In 2020, Hilton spoke toSky Newsabout the impact the leak had on her at the time.
“Back then, they made me like I was the villain,” she said.
“I didn’t used to be that way.”
A few of the instances of physical abuse were made public at the time, too.
“Looking back, I can’t believe I let people treat me like that.”
In fact, for many Zoomers, the selfie is practically a necessity.
As Hilton herselftweetedin 2017, “11 years ago today, me & Britney invented the selfie!”
According toW Magazine, Hilton is often credited with taking one of the very first selfies.
AsBuzzFeedreported, her first single was probably the peak of her short-lived career.
In terms of acting, Hilton also met with little success.
Then in 2010, Hilton was given the Razzie for Worst Actress of the Decade.
After her first show, Hilton developed a passion for spinning.
She spoke toGlamourabout her decision to become more private in 2015.
“But I’ve grown up.”
And what has Hilton been up to?
She’s been working hard!
“I’m on a plane 200 days of the year,” she continued.
“I’m 100% focused on my business and brand and I’ve never been happier.”
Hilton’s business is doing well, too, by any measure.
Hilton later spoke to Gay Times about how she is keen to support gay and trans rights.
Her compassion inspired her to stand up for the community and help to “give them a voice.”
Apparently, her fragrances are already a big hit among the community.
“My life was always empty, like I was missing something,” wrote onInstagramfor their first anniversary.
We can’t wait to see where her new honest approach leads her.
In February 2021, she decided to get into the game herself.
In an interview withThe New York Times, Hilton was thrilled about the new venture.
“It is like another form of social media.
“I Am Paris” isn’t Hilton’s only foray into the podcasting world.
London Audio and iHeartMedia have even more in store.
She also created her own cooking show, aptly titled “Cooking with Paris,” available via Netflix.
Like so many great dishes, “Cooking with Paris” was born via a happy accident.
Soon, networks were knocking at her door with offers.
The series showed them bantering and bonding as they tried their hand at a number of scrumptious delights.
“I’m not a trained chef.
I don’t know what I’m doing.
Most cooking shows are very boring and I don’t watch them.
I wanted to ‘Paris-ize’ it,” she told Variety.
But now, I’m very self-aware of what I am doing.”
According toVogue,Carter Reumproposed to her during her birthday.
Our relationship is one of equals.
We make each other better people.
He was absolutely worth the wait!"
Hilton provided a rundown of the big day on herblog.
“That documentary changed my entire life.
It was just the beginning of this whole path of self-discovery,” she said in an interview.
“The media has really controlled my narrative and my story for over 20 years.
I feel like it’s time to say the truth myself.”
Hilton’s book was released to critical acclaim.
It even scored a starred review fromKirkus.
Unlike many other similar stories, there is no tone of self-pity or martyrdom," the reviewer wrote.
“We started going and doing it like a few months in because the world was shut down.
In January 2023, the couple finally brought home a baby boy named Phoenix, birthed via surrogate.
Talking toPeopleonce more, Hilton was overflowing with joy.
