Hilton moved frequently in her youth, living in [[Beverly Hills]], [[the Hamptons]], and a suite in the [[Waldorf-Astoria Hotel]] in [[Manhattan]]. Her relatives have described her as "very much a [[tomboy]]" who dreamed about becoming a veterinarian. Her mother recalled her saving money to buy monkeys, snakes, and goats, and once leaving "the snake out the cage [...] at the Waldorf".<ref name="thisisp">{{Cite web|url=https://youtube.com/watch?v=wOg0TY1jG3w|title=The Real Story of Paris Hilton {{!}} This Is Paris Official Documentary|website=[[YouTube]]|date=September 13, 2020 }}</ref> Hilton was raised in a very "sheltered, conservative" atmosphere; her parents were particularly strict and she was not allowed to date, wear make-up or certain types of clothes, or go to school dances. Her mother enrolled her in [[etiquette]] classes with the idea of introducing her as a [[debutante]], which Hilton was at first reluctant to do, as she did not find it to be "real" or "natural". She described it as "very proper, very prim, almost like a ''[[The Stepford Wives|Stepford wife]]''".<ref name="thisisp"/> The family's social circle included figures such as [[Lionel Richie]], [[Donald Trump]], and [[Michael Jackson]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/are-nicole-richie-and-paris-still-friends-142801|title=Are Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton Still Friends?

In New York City, Hilton had a rebellious youth, regularly skipping classes and sneaking out to parties. On this period, Kathy remarked: "Let's put it this way—it got very out of control and I was scared for her. And my husband was very scared for her. And, you know, those nightclubs go on all night."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://people.com/tv/kathy-hilton-recalls-sleepless-nights-worrying-about-paris-hilton-partying/ | title=Kathy Hilton Recalls Sleepless Nights Worrying About Paris Partying as a Teen: 'I Was Scared' }}</ref> Her parents eventually sent her, then 16, to a series of boarding schools for emotionally troubled teens, including [[Provo Canyon School]], where Hilton says that she was mentally, physically and sexually abused by the staff. In her documentary ''This Is Paris'', Hilton and other former students from Provo Canyon School recall the abuses they faced, including [[solitary confinement]], forced medication, restraint, battery and strangulation.

==Career==
===Social scene and modeling (1996–2002)===
With mother Kathy and sister Nicky, Hilton modeled as a child at charity events,<ref name="porter"/> graced the May 4, 1988, cover of the weekly magazine ''Beverly Hills 213'',<ref>{{cite instagram |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CACCOPgJ4eQ/ |postid=CACCOPgJ4eQ |user=parishilton |last=Hilton |first=Paris |title=My first magazine cover with my beautiful mom and sister. |date=May 11, 2020 |access-date=January 2, 2023}}</ref> and made an uncredited appearance in the fantasy film ''[[Wishman]]'' (1992).
After relocating to NYC in 1996, Hilton developed a reputation as a [[socialite]] through appearances at nightclubs and high-profile events. She has recalled getting offers to show up in nightclubs as early as she was 16,<ref name="pa">{{cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/paris-hilton-explains-how-she-was-paid-to-party-before-turning-21|title=Paris Hilton explains how she was paid to party before turning 21|first=Stephanie|last=Nolasco|website=[[Fox News]]|date=November 29, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/nicky-hilton-paris-hilton-designer-lloyd-klein-and-maria-news-photo/1513596|title=Nicky Hilton, Paris Hilton, designer Lloyd Klein, and Maria Scheider...|website=Getty Images|date=October 22, 2002 }}</ref><ref name="smgph" /> when she obtained a counterfeited [[identity document]] in order to gain access to events. Her antics and late-night persona soon started attracting the spotlight from local tabloids. After becoming familiar with Paris and Nicky's social circle, Jason Binn, publisher of ''Hamptons'' magazine, stated: "They're little stars. They've become names. To them it's like a job. I believe they wake up every morning and say, 'O.K., where am I supposed to be tonight?'."<ref name="vf" />
That lifestyle conflicted with her family's conservative background and proved too "rebellious" for the young Paris, whose parents sent her to a series of boarding schools until she turned 18. Hilton resumed public appearances shortly afterwards, and attended the NYC premiere of ''[[Cruel Intentions]]'' in March 1999 with Nicky.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.gettyimages.no/detail/news-photo/cruel-intentions-new-york-premiere-march-3-1999-paris-and-news-photo/1411933 | title=E 347353 14 'Cruel Intentions' New York Premiere, March 3, 1999 | date=September 20, 2002 }}</ref> A ''[[The New Yorker|New Yorker]]'' profile by Bob Morris, published in October that year, described her and her sister as "the littlest socialites in town [...] Without even a smile, they can breeze past the velvet ropes at Moomba or get a seat at Le Bilboquet".<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1999/10/18/next-generation-l-the-hilton-sisters|title=Next Generation l The Hilton Sisters|first=Bob|last=Morris|magazine=The New Yorker|date=October 10, 1999}}</ref> Businessman [[George J.

In addition to modeling, Hilton ventured into screen acting, playing an ill-fated character in the independent teen thriller ''Sweetie Pie'' (2000),<ref name="vf"/> and filming a cameo appearance as herself in the comedy ''[[Zoolander]]'' (2001), with [[Ben Stiller]]. In 2002, she appeared in [[Vincent Gallo]]'s "Honey Bunny" video,{{citation needed|date=March 2025}} played a "strung-out supermodel" in the five-minute short ''QIK2JDG'', and starred as a socialite in the [[straight-to-DVD]] horror film ''[[Nine Lives (2002 film)|Nine Lives]]''.
===International stardom (2003–2007)===
Hilton's breakout came in 2003, when she starred with her childhood friend and socialite counterpart [[Nicole Richie]] in the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] reality series ''[[The Simple Life]]'', in which they lived for a month with a family in the rural community of [[Altus, Arkansas]].

A particularly polarizing figure since rising to fame, Hilton has often been the subject of harsh criticism.<ref name="phnyt">{{Cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/23/style/urban-fables-once-you-ve-seen-paris-everything-is-e-mc2.html | title=URBAN FABLES; Once You've Seen Paris, Everything is e = mc2 | newspaper=The New York Times | date=November 23, 2003 | last=Leland | first=John }}</ref> Writing for ''[[The New York Times]]'' in 2003, John Leland opined: "In a ravenous celebrity culture, Ms. Hilton's rise shows how far celebrity itself has been devalued".<ref name="phnyt"/>

===Persona===
[[File:Paris Hilton at Sundance Film Festival 2008.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Hilton at the 2008 [[Sundance Film Festival]]]]
The nature and extent of her fame is often questioned by critics, as she is not considered an artist nor performer. Blair Soden of ''[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]]'' noted: "She's made a lot of money with a hodgepodge of traditional celebrity revenue. But what she's best at is being Paris Hilton".<ref>{{cite web|first=Blair|last=Soden|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=3270428&page=1|title=Who Will Be the Next Paris Hilton?|date=June 13, 2007|website=[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]]}}</ref> Writers indeed suggest that Hilton epitomizes the ''[[celebutante]]'': a celebrity for no particularly identifiable reason other than inherited wealth and lavish lifestyle. Cait Munro of ''[[Refinery29]]'' asserted: "Paris Hilton is an icon not just of the 2000s, but of a certain widely held image of what inherited wealth, undeserved fame, and American excess looks like".<ref name="mag29">{{cite web|first=Cait|last=Munro|url=https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/heiress-self-made-paris-hilton-200000651.html|title=Can An Heiress Be Self-Made?

Much of her image has centered on her "party girl-heiress archetype" as well as her blonde hair and the stereotypes associated with it, especially stupidity, naïveté, sexual availability and artificiality.<ref>{{cite web|first=Laura|last=Lavlin|url=https://www.dazeddigital.com/film-tv/article/42648/1/paris-hilton-the-american-meme-existential-dread|title=Paris Hilton grapples with the futility of life in The American Meme|website=Dazed|date=December 19, 2018}}</ref> The development of that character stemmed from the initial success of ''The Simple Life'' and her desire to embody "the ultimate brand based on [...] the right everything for a formula that far exceeded anybody else at that time", according to Jason Moore, her former manager.<ref name="cnnph">{{cite news|url=https://www.cnn.com/2011/11/02/showbiz/celebrity-news-gossip/jason-moore-on-paris-hilton/index.html|title=The man who 'made' Paris Hilton|first=Abbey|last=Goodman|website=[[CNN]]|date=November 2, 2011}}</ref> He stated: "She was the ultimate package that corporate America would want to make for itself as a marketing tool, but it was already made for them.

Fashion and language are two contributing factors to Hilton's star image. Known for her long bleached blonde hair, [[valley girl]] accent, and use of blue colored contact lenses over her naturally brown eyes, she developed her personal aesthetic through mainly [[pink]] attire, [[Juicy Couture]] tracksuits, rhinestones, trucker hats, oversized sunglasses, and the "accessory dog". She mimed "high-fashion poses learned from [[drag queens]]" and created what was described as the "Paris talk". For instance, she often uses one-liners and a breathy, childish voice in television shows and interviews.<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Rachel|last=McRady|url=https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/paris-hilton-reveals-the-origin-of-her-baby-voice-w159305/|title=Paris Hilton Reveals the Origin of Her Baby Voice!|magazine=[[US Weekly]]|date=December 9, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Eun Kyung|last=Kim|url=https://www.today.com/popculture/paris-hilton-her-voice-fragrance-line-how-reality-tv-has-t102840|title=What 'Simple Life' fans never knew about Paris Hilton: That's not her voice|website=TODAY.com|date=September 14, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2006/jul/08/popandrock|title=Simon Hattenstone meets Paris Hilton|first=Simon|last=Hattenstone|date=July 7, 2006|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]}}</ref> Among the designer accessories she was regularly seen with was the [[Dior Saddle bag]], which gained popularity in the early 2000s and was frequently cited as an [[It bag]], with Hilton among the public figures credited with its rise in popularity.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Allaire |first=Christian |date=2018-07-21 |title=Why This 2000s-Era Paris Hilton Outfit Is Still Relevant Today |url=https://www.vogue.com/article/paris-hilton-2000s-style-dior-saddle-bag |access-date=2025-05-16 |website=Vogue |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |date=2024-06-25 |title=Back in the (Dior) Saddle: The history of an It bag |url=https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/fashion/a42118540/dior-saddle-bag/ |access-date=2025-05-16 |magazine=Harper's BAZAAR |language=en-GB}}</ref>

Her dim-witted blonde persona, a carefully crafted act, found significant credence among the general public, which she has described as an obstacle in her career. She once remarked: "People assume before they meet me that I'm a really ditzy dumb blonde. That's the one thing that kind of annoys me sometimes.

===Catchphrases===
"'''That's hot'''", "'''loves it'''" and "'''sliving'''" are Hilton's catchphrases.<ref name="hot n not">{{cite book |first=Katarina |last=Rasulić |year=2015 |chapter=What's Hot and What's Not in English and Serbian |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_PyADQAAQBAJ&q=%22Paris+Hilton%22+%22that%27s+hot%22+signature&pg=PA290 |title=The Linguistics of Temperature |editor-first=Maria |editor-last=Koptjevskaja-Tamm |publisher=[[John Benjamins Publishing Company]] |___location=[[Amsterdam]], Netherlands |page=290 |issn=0167-7373 |isbn=978-90-272-0688-6 |lccn=2014035097 }}</ref> All three are registered as trademarks for products, like clothing apparel, electronic devices, and alcoholic beverages.<ref name="hot n not"/>
On September 6, 2007, Hilton filed an [[injunction]] lawsuit against [[Hallmark Cards]] Inc., titled ''Hilton v. Hallmark Cards'', in [[U.S. District Court]] over the unlawful use of her picture and catchphrase "That's hot" on a greeting card. The card is titled "Paris's First Day as a Waitress" with a photograph of Hilton's face on a cartoon of a waitress serving a plate of food, with a dialogue bubble saying "Don't touch that, it's hot" (which had a [[registered trademark]] on February 13, 2007). Hilton's attorney Brent Blakely said that the [[Copyright infringement|infringement]] damages would be based on profits from the greeting cards. Julie O'Dell said that Hallmark used the card as [[parody]], protected under [[fair use]] law.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/celebrity/paris-hilton-sues-over-hallmark-card | title=Paris Hilton Sues Over Hallmark Card | work=The Smoking Gun | date=September 7, 2007 | access-date=December 12, 2008}}</ref> The [[United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit|Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit]] reviewed the case and "denied Hallmark's motion to dismiss".

===Media presence===
A subject of press and public attention due to her extravagant [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]] lifestyle, Hilton's media exploits started in the late 1990s, when she became a fixture in NYC's late-night circuit.<ref name="vice"/> A combination of what has been described as "vulgar [[Donald Trump|Trump]]-era exhibitionism and ''[[Girls Gone Wild (franchise)|Girls Gone Wild]]'' antics" led publications such as ''Hamptons'', ''[[The New Yorker]]'', and particularly ''[[The New York Post]]'', to often feature Hilton in their social columns.<ref name="vice"/>
After her pictorial by [[David LaChapelle]] and September 2000 article for ''Vanity Fair'', Hilton was hailed as "New York's leading [[It Girl]]", whose fame was beginning to "extend beyond the [local] tabloids", by ''The Guardian'' in February 2001.<ref name="porter">{{Cite news|last=Porter|first=Charlie|title=New York style: 'Is this article going to trash me?': Heiress, star of the social columns and now a top model..

In 2018, Lili Anolik, of ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]'', observed that Hilton "instinctively grasped that the great cultural contribution of the movies was movie stars", and further said that since "anybody with a phone was now a potential cineaste" and "true movie stars require[d] raw presence, not refined acting skills", she needed "only ever perform herself, or, rather, 'herself'[:] a gorgeous blonde ditz, the modern-day [[Marilyn Monroe|Monroe]]".<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Anolik |first=Lili |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/11/paris-hilton-lindsay-lohan-britney-spears |title=Paris, Lindsay, Britney: The Rise and Fall of a Celebrity Supernova |magazine=Vanity Fair |date=November 30, 2018|access-date=January 5, 2022}}</ref> In 2020, ''[[Los Angeles Times]]''{{'}} editor Lindzi Scharf regarded her as "the woman who will likely go down in history for putting the 'i' in influencer".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2019-12-05/paris-hilton-hollywood-influencer-dj-simple-life-star-tabloids|title=Paris Hilton, Hollywood's original influencer: 'I just want people to know the real me' |date=December 5, 2019 |website=Los Angeles Times |last=Scharf |first=Lindzi}}</ref> ''GQ''{{'}}s Carrie Battan had previously called her "the figure who set off Hollywood 2.0's Big Bang, the effects of which continue to radiate through the industry today.
