Paris Hilton's Universe: Her Pink Motorola Razr, Beloved Y2K Styles, and the Significance of 11:11 Media to Her

      Step into the realm of the most stylish creatives in the fashion world with our series My World, where readers can explore how leading stylists, designers, and influencers shaped their careers; their favorite dining spots, cherished music albums, and fashion discoveries; guiding etiquette principles; and much more. Meet the C-suite elite—it's Paris Hilton—now that's a noteworthy figure. Few deserve a multi-hyphenated title as much as this global icon, CEO, DJ, entrepreneur, activist, and mother. We had the chance to chat with Hilton, who opened up about her journey from her Simple Life beginnings to her role as CEO of 11:11 Media, as well as her favorite outfits over the years. She even revealed the accessory that has kept her at the forefront for the past two decades—her Motorola Razr.

With the Motorola Razr celebrating its 21st anniversary, it’s truly a pop culture icon. You can find the razr in a Y2K-inspired hot pink hue or recreate the sparkle of Hilton’s memorable bedazzled 21st birthday dress from The Brilliant Collection. Hilton credits her achievements to being true to herself. “I’ve always followed my instincts from the beginning,” she shares. “People are beginning to see me as the businesswoman, innovator, and changemaker I’ve always been.” While her media expertise may grab headlines, for Hilton, “growing [her] business has been amazing, but nothing compares to the joy and love of motherhood.” I’m thrilled to provide you an inside look into Paris Hilton’s world. Below, enjoy a nostalgic Y2K vibe, featuring Paris and her dogs, pink velour tracksuits, and a penchant for oversized sunglasses.

What does an average day look like for you? My schedule is packed—from business meetings to time with my kids—so I rely on technology that can keep pace. The Moto AI tools are truly lifesaving. Catch Me Up is my go-to for staying informed, and I appreciate Look and Talk for hands-free functionality. It’s stylish, smart, and ideally suited for my busy lifestyle. You have taken on numerous business ventures over the years, from your beauty line to 11:11 Media. It’s like asking someone to choose a favorite child, but if you had to drop everything for one focus, what would it be? Everything I engage in is deeply personal. However, currently, my heart lies with being a mother and creating memories with my family. Growing my businesses has been incredible, but nothing compares to the love and joy of motherhood. You’ve always been ahead of trends. When reflecting on moments like launching your first fragrance or adopting social media early, do you believe your gut feeling drives your business decisions, or is it more about strategy? I’ve trusted my instincts from the outset. Launching my first fragrance, embracing social media before it became mainstream—those actions were not strategic; they were expressions of who I am. I love being at the forefront, and strategy naturally follows authenticity.

      You have worn many hats—DJ, producer, entrepreneur, activist, mother…What often goes unnoticed is how involved I am with 11:11 Media and all my projects. I’m deeply engaged in every aspect—creative, strategy, and even the minute details.

Are there any standout outfits you fondly remember that people might not expect? The silver chain-mail dress I wore for my 21st birthday is one of my all-time favorites. It's so timeless and continues to influence fashion today. Another look I cherish is the black cutout catsuit I donned at Coachella this year. It holds special meaning since through 11:11 Media Impact, we assisted in relaunching Hana O’Conor’s brand, Crop It Like It’s Hot, after the L.A. fires. If you could raid the closet of anyone—past or present—who would it be and why? Without a doubt, Marilyn Monroe. She epitomized Hollywood glamour like no one else. You’ve collaborated with so many stylists over the years to carve out your now-iconic aesthetic. What references, emotions, or themes do you feel resonate in your wardrobe, whether from 2005 or 2025? I always channel sparkle, pink, and a sense of playfulness
