The great-granddaughter of famed hotelier Conrad Hilton and co-heir to the Hilton fortune, socialite Paris Hilton stridently endeavored to make her own mark in the world and for the most part, succeeded. Alongside her younger sister, Nicky, Paris Hilton became one of the first media-dubbed "celebutantes” (a term used to describe a growing trend of young, attractive party girl who is a socialite or a quasi celeb).

Regardless, whether you loved her or hated her, one could not deny the impact Hilton had on media and pop culture. Rightly or wrongly, by making a lucrative career of doing essentially nothing, Hilton – and those who followed in her footsteps – truly helped re-define the word "celebrity" for the new millennium.

Acting Credits: The Simple Life reality series, memorable Carl’s Jr. commercial and House of Wax movie.

Red Carpet Style: She chooses only the brightest of colors, boldest of prints, and barest of silhouettes, then accessorises with sky-high stilettos and sparkling diamonds.

Casual Style: Hip "sweat suits" work well for daytime activities; fitted hoodies, slim sweatpants, and flippy skirts by Juicy, Primp, and 2 B Free are personal favourite.

Other specifics: denim is a true rarity, unless it’s in the form of a mini and anything lingerie-inspired (from lace-trimmed camis to negligees) is standard Paris ware.

Favorite Designers: Roberto Cavalli, Versace, Sass & Bide

Hair: Unlike her now-brunette sis, Paris is never seen without her trademark bleach blonde fringe. Whether styled in numerous ringlets, a glamorous updo, or a Barbie-esque ponytail, it’s consistently super-long.

Makeup: Though Paris’s [spray] tan complexion requires minimal makeup, she loves to experiment. When she isn’t decked out in heavily made-up eyes or overdone blush, she favors glamorously smoky eyes, glossy pink lips, and bronzed cheeks to boot.

Notable Quote About Fashion: "The only rule is don't be boring. Dress cute wherever you go." from her book, Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose.

Get the Look for Yourself: Never shy away from the bold. Choose a bright dress or camisole plus skirt combo, then top off with glitzy stilettos. Adding a down-to-earth hoodie and blazer will make the transition from Hollywood to your town much smoother.

She has to her credit successful launch of her perfumes. They are - Paris Hilton (for men and women), Just Me (for women and men), Heiress (for women and men), Can Can and Fairy Dust.
