From entrepreneurs Paris and Nicky to matriarch and Real Housewives darling Kathy, the three women of the hotel dynasty are in demand like never before. Find out everything about the return of the Hilton Ladies and the ups and downs that shaped them here.

The name Hilton is &ndash; finally &ndash; on everyone's lips again. The family around the internationally known hotel chain is known to almost everyone. <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/paris-hilton-wedding-photos-carter-reum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris</a> and Nicky Hilton didn't miss red carpets or celebrity events in the early 2000s and were seen as It girls from the very beginning. They were trendsetters and regular guests on the front pages of the most widely read gossip magazines. Today they are successful entrepreneurs. And that was long before the Kardashian-Jenners.
In the background for a long time, it is now matriarch Kathy Hilton who is being celebrated by the masses on social media. Since this year, the 62-year-old has been part of the 11th season of the US reality TV show "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" on the cable channel Bravo . After only a few episodes, it was clear that Kathy was a viewer favorite, and not just in the States. Ever since Netflix added the show to its roster, the lives of the housewives are now being followed around the world. Incidentally, in Austria the successful production runs every Friday on the Sixx channel.
Most recently, the blonde trio appeared on the cover of American magazine Footwear News in Juicy Couture tracksuits. The picture shot in Kathy's closet made the rounds on Instagram, demonstrating that the Hiltons are officially back.

Things have never been better for Paris Hilton. In Cooking With Paris , her <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/netflix-disney-prime-video-the-9-movies-and-series-coming-in-january-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Netflix-</a> produced cooking show, she invites famous friends like Kim Kardashian or Demi Lovato into her kitchen to conjure up three-course meals. Impractically glamorous outfits, lace gloves and charming cluelessness make the show a likeable self-parody. Lanvin Creative Director Bruno Sialelli made Paris the muse of the French fashion house's SS21 campaign. For him, it's the fact that the hotel heiress revolutionized the way celebrities communicate with the world. <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/five-bohemian-ibiza-dresses-to-wear-now" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bohemian prints</a> meet disco glitter and bold cuts that skilfully reveal their elegant side. She found happiness in her private life with her fianc&eacute;, the US entrepreneur Carter Milliken-Reum.
Paris is the eldest daughter and first child of Kathy and Richard Hilton and was born in 1981 in New York City. Looking back on her career to date, there seems to be little Paris hasn't done. In addition to her biggest role, the undisputed <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/y2k-fairies-trend-2000s-what-to-buy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Y2K</a> It Girl, she landed supporting roles in the film "House of Wax" (2005) and the TV series "Supernatural" (2009). Her acting experience resulted in five Golden Raspberries. In 2006 we probably all heard Paris' most successful single "Stars Are Blind" , which was followed by other songs over the years, but none as iconic. The hotel heiress hasn't given up music entirely, as she regularly performs in the biggest clubs and at sold-out festivals as D-Jane. The 40-year-old is also represented when it comes to writing. Her book, Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose, was published in 2004 and stayed in the top 10 on the New York Times bestseller list for weeks.

A sex film was released in 2004 without her consent and, no doubt, against her will. Entitled 1 Night in Paris, the porn filmed by her ex-boyfriend Rick Solomon was distributed on both VHS and DVD and won Best Selling Sex Movie at the AVN Awards the following year. Hilton rightly didn't put up with this and sued Solomon, resulting in $400,000 in damages and a share of the proceeds from the sale. Unfortunately, that wasn't the only scandal in Paris.
In 2007, her driver's license was revoked for drunk driving , but Paris continued to drive and was sentenced to 45 days in prison. After a short period of house arrest, she was returned to the women's prison, where she was quickly released for good behavior. This was followed three years later by a fine and 200 hours of community service for possession of cocaine .
The show that made Paris Hilton famous was The Simple Life. From 2003 to 2007, together with Nicole Richie, she got to know the simple life far away from the usual luxury. Even today you can still find clips of the show on Twitter or Instagram, which are clicked thousands of times because of the naivety and cluelessness of the two. However, what one learns after almost fifteen years is that the role of the dumb blonde was desired by the producers, but had its origins somewhere else entirely.

"This Is Paris" is the it girl's almost two-hour YouTube documentary, which shows the world a very different, alien Paris. In it she speaks for the first time about the abuse she experienced as a teenager at a boarding school in the US state of Utah. The traumatic experiences, unknown even to the closest family, led to Paris inventing an alter ego - the perfect Barbie as a protective shield and processing mechanism. &ldquo;A lot of people underestimate me. I'm just good at playing the dumb blonde," she said in an interview with Netflix. As much as she was weighed down by past events, Paris decided to go before the Senate anyway. The hearing resulted in the enactment of a law in Utah ensuring the safety of students in such facilities. Next, she wants to enforce this in all 50 states. Her greatest trauma became her greatest personal success.

Also an it girl, but due to her style and expertise in fashion, Nicky is seen as the quiet counterpart to her not-so-scandal-free sister. If Nicholai Olivia Hilton , her full name, has appeared in magazines around the world, it&#39;s because of her <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/fashion/editorial-new-york">New York City</a> street style. Eventually, she took classes at two of the city&#39;s most prestigious design schools - the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons: The New School. Nicky has always stayed true to the fashion world. She has worked with various labels and designed her own clothing and art deco jewelry lines. With the online retailer eLuxe, she created a collection inspired by her family&#39;s wardrobes, she designed handbags together with LINEA PELLE, and as a big fan of the London brand French Sole, she insisted on creating a line of ballerinas. What is special about Nicky Hilton&#39;s projects? They are always affordable. Something the 37-year-old attaches great importance to. Photo: nickyhilton.com

Despite her famous family, Nicky always managed to appear normal and approachable. This is reflected not only in her casual, casual style, but also in her book "365 Style" . Published by Harlequin Verlag in 2014, it explains that self-confidence is better than a big budget. Nicky's recipe for success? Filter out three aspects of your own lifestyle and have six staple pieces and five essential accessories ready for them.
As for her personal life, it's a lot more traditional than her big sister's. Kathy and Richard Hilton's second daughter has been a member of two influential families for some time. In the summer of 2010, she married James Rothschild , member of the banking family, at The Orangery of Kensington Palace in London in a $77,000 <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/fashion-show-valentino-pierpaolo-piccioli-spring-summer-photo-look" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valentino Haute Couture</a> dress. The couple reside in New York City with their two daughters, Lilly and Teddy, short for Theodora.

Behind the most famous families in the world is a strong woman. The same goes for the Hiltons. As the mother of Paris and Nicky, as well as two sons, Barron and Conrad, Kathy has been known from high society events, galas and red carpets. That all changed with her participation in season 11 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . Along with half-sister Kyle Richards Umansky, Kathy now appears weekly on the screens of adoring viewers. However, she is no newcomer in front of the camera. Photo: Bravo Media

As a child star, Kathleen "Kathy" Avanzino starred in shows like Bewitched before marrying hotel heir and entrepreneur Richard Hilton in November 1979, whom she met at private school when she was 15. The same place was the beginning of a lifelong friendship with Michael Jackson. They lived in the Big Apple with their four children for a long time, including at the Waldorf Astoria for years, and later moved to Bel Air, Los Angeles.
Prior to Kathy's time as Real Housewife, she sold a clothing line through home shopping channel QVC in 2002 and launched a collection of party dresses in 2012, available at US department store giants Neiman Marcus , Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstorm. A dedicated philanthropist, Kathy is always involved with charities, raising money through auctions and donating it to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Longtime fans of the Beverly Hills Housewives have been eagerly awaiting Kathy, who previously appeared in brief cameos through her sisters Kim and Kyle. Within a few episodes, she quickly became a crowd favorite. With her easygoing, humorous demeanor and penchant for pranks , viewers fell head over heels in love with Prankster Kathy. Always carrying a large handbag with half her household in it, her soft spot for good staff and spontaneous extra requests quickly becomes clear. Instead of dismissing this as diva airs, the other women show understanding, if not respect. "It's Kathy, after all," is often said.

Through their various shows, companies and projects, you finally have the chance to look behind the scenes of the lives of the three iconic blondes. Always authentic, surprisingly down-to-earth and sometimes even vulnerable, Kathy, Paris and Nicky have not only surprised loyal fans with their openness over the past few months, but also convinced many that they have more to offer than expected.
For the cover story with Footwear News, Kathy Hilton shares a glimpse into her closet. In the video, Paris referred to the pink <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/hermes-woman-show-autumn-winter-2023-paris-collection-photo-look-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Herm&egrave;s</a> Kelly Bag as the Birkin , believing the two classic bags to be one and the same. Kathy's answer? "You know what? I'm glad you don't know all that."
