Businesswoman, model and DJ Paris Hilton, 44, surprised her fans by kicking off the Halloween season with a costume that pays homage to one of her dearest friends: Britney Spears. With her trademark sense of style and attention to detail, Hilton recreated the iconic red outfit from the music video “Oops! I Did It Again,” one of the most memorable moments of the “Princess of Pop’s” career.
For her tribute, Hilton wore a bright red latex catsuit, combined with black leather high top boots and a sleek side parted hairstyle, exactly like the one Spears wore in the original 2000 music video. The outfit, which at the time symbolized Britney’s consolidation as a global pop star, was replicated with amazing precision by Paris, who took care of every detail to maintain the futuristic essence of the original look.
However, the heiress to the Hilton empire didn’t stop at just wearing the costume. She took her tribute to a new level by doing a photo and video shoot inspired by the space aesthetic of the music video, sharing the results on her Instagram account. In the images, Paris appears surrounded by bright lights and accompanied by a “moon man,” a figure that refers directly to the astronaut that appears in the narrative of Spears’ video, set in an intergalactic scenario.
While Paris Hilton stayed true to the original aesthetic of the music video, she added a distinctive touch to her recreation: silver glasses that added a modern twist without altering the spirit of the homage. In the description of his post, he wrote a phrase that alludes to both the song and his own gesture of admiration: “Oops, I did it again. Starting Halloweek by honoring my queen.”
The message, along with the images, generated a great impact among her followers, reaching more than 130 thousand “likes” in a few hours. Fans praised both the fidelity of the costume and the obvious affection for Spears, noting that Paris managed to capture the nostalgia of the 2000s, a time when both were undisputed stars of pop culture.
Britney Spears and Paris Hilton: Inseparable Icons of the 2000s
During the first half of the 2000s, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, along with Lindsay Lohan, formed the famous group dubbed by the tabloids as the “Holy Trinity” of Angeleno nightlife. This trio set trends in fashion, music and entertainment, and became a symbol of the celebrity culture of the time.
More than two decades later, Hilton continues to celebrate that connection which, despite the passage of time and the personal changes of each, continues to be fondly remembered by fans of both artists.
The tribute did not end with the costume. Paris Hilton accompanied her tribute with an even more emotional gesture: a video in which she appears with her son Phoenix, dedicating a message of affection to Britney Spears. In the clip, the little boy – son of Paris and her husband Carter Reum – addresses the singer with tenderness and calls her “aunt”, saying: “I miss you, aunt, we love you”.
Hilton complemented the message in the video’s description, writing, “Phoenix loves her Aunt Britney. I had so much fun dressing up as you this year, Britney Spears. We love you, miss you, and can’t wait for you to come and hang out with me and the babies again soon.”
Paris Hilton’s gesture was received as a public show of support and affection for Britney Spears, who is currently back in the headlines after the publication of her memoir The Woman in Me and her reappearance on the public stage. Although the singer has not responded directly to the tribute, fans interpreted the action as a reaffirmation of the friendly bond that has united the two for more than twenty years.
With her mix of nostalgia, affection and showmanship, Paris Hilton once again made history: not only did she relive one of pop’s most iconic moments, but she also reminded the world of the enduring friendship between two of the most influential figures of their generation.
Here is the video of Paris Hilton sending a message to Britney Spears with her little son.
