Paris Hilton Evokes Early 2000s Nostalgia in Old Navy's Latest Campaign—These Fun Items Under $55 Are Worth Checking Out.

      Paris Hilton featured in Old Navy's latest "It's Old Navy" campaign, bringing to life her signature early 2000s nostalgia alongside her mother, Kathy Hilton, reality stars Ciara Miller and Rob Rausch, and influencers Erin Miller and Eric Sedeño. The photoshoot takes place at a backyard BBQ and pool party, featuring her hit song "Stars Are Blind," which celebrates its 20th anniversary. Each outfit showcased is priced below $55 and pays tribute to the brand's legacy with essential items such as the Old Navy flag T-shirt. Old Navy's Chief Creative Officer Zac Posen commented in a press release, "Paris Hilton is the ideal summer muse for our new campaign 'It's Old Navy,' which celebrates the joy of summer and reveals that great style is accessible to everyone. It’s a collaboration of two icons, Paris and Old Navy. She embodies so much of what we cherish: bold style and dressing for happiness. I’ve known Paris since our teenage years in New York. She is an unstoppable entrepreneur and incredible mother, always authentic and self-assured." I had the chance to chat with Hilton about the campaign, her favorite pieces, summer 2026, and "Stars Are Blind."

      How do you feel about this collaboration with Old Navy?

      I was thrilled when I learned that Zac Posen was collaborating with Old Navy for a vibrant, iconic summer campaign also honoring my song "Stars Are Blind." It was a blast working with my mom on set, and I adore the campaign. The outfits are so vibrant and playful, capturing the essence of summer. The collection is adorable, featuring a wide range of fun pieces for the entire family. There are so many charming items available for summer.

      If you had to choose one piece from the collection, which would it be?

      It would have to be a toss-up between the matching set I'm in or the pink dress I wore in the campaign ad. It's incredibly cute, and I believe all the girls will fall in love with it.

      The campaign is set at a backyard BBQ and pool party. What is a real-life Paris Hilton BBQ/pool party like?

      In reality, I thrive on hosting parties, especially at my new home, which is perfect for entertaining. My pool parties are so much fun, featuring my water slide, a golf course, and a pink tennis court—everything is in the backyard. It's a joy to gather my kids with their cousins, invite family and friends, and enjoy a lovely lunch together. There’s plenty of pink, sparkle, fantastic music, and great energy. It’s wonderful to create these memorable experiences as a family. I truly enjoy hosting at our home.

      The collection includes wardrobe essentials. What are some of your go-to wardrobe staples?

      I love easy-to-style pieces, like a standout dress or oversized sunglasses. I'm fond of matching sets and monochromatic outfits. Comfort is key for me, and I always try to add a bit of sparkle to whatever I wear.

      When you think of summer style, what comes to mind, and how does that reflect in your personal style?

      Summer style should exude playfulness and confidence. I adore bright colors, lovely swimwear, matching sets, and chic pieces. I like my summer looks to be a bit more relaxed, especially when I’m at home with my kids.

      Do you have any trend predictions for summer 2026 or any current trends you are loving?

      I love witnessing people having fun with fashion again—embracing color, sparkle, and denim. I'm all about that early 2000s vibe but with a modern twist. Additionally, it’s adorable to see everyone embracing baby-doll, romantic looks or coquette styles. It’s all very feminine.

      What’s on your bucket list for summer 2026?

      I enjoy being with my children and husband at home. We love to travel and take boat trips. I'm looking forward to all my concerts this summer, especially headlining numerous festivals during Pride worldwide. I can’t wait to perform and connect with my fans through my music. I'm excited for summer filled with family and my music.

      "Stars Are Blind" is incredibly iconic. I recall listening to it on repeat when it was released, and now celebrating its milestone anniversary is surreal. When you hear it today, what emotions does it stir?

      Thank you! I'm thrilled you enjoy it. The song makes me feel emotional, grateful, and happy that it has brought joy to so many. It’s special to hear how much it means to people—so many have shared it as their wedding song or said it helped them through tough times. That truly touches my heart. It’s incredible to perform it live and see the crowd singing along. It creates such a beautiful connection, and I feel proud to have a timeless and iconic pop song.

      What do you believe the song reflects, and has your perspective on it evolved over time?
