Is That Really Paris Hilton? Fashion Icon Looks Unrecognizable With Long Black Hair
Last Halloween, I did a double-take when I saw Paris Hilton in her costume. The fashion icon, known for her signature frosty blonde hair, was completely transformed with long, flowing black locks. I genuinely didn't realize it was her at first!
The socialite had pulled out a sleek black wig to channel another pop culture icon: Katy Perry. Specifically, she was paying homage to the red latex outfit Perry wore during her Las Vegas residency.

Last year, on October 28, The Simple Life star attended Vas Morgan and Michael Braun's Halloween Party in her all-red outfit with long black hair. Paris wore a latex bodysuit, chaps with fringes running down either side, and a mushroom-shaped hat. The hat sat on top of her loose, jet-black waves cascading towards her waist. She paired the outfit with bronzed cheeks and glossy nude lips.
When I first saw her, I thought that she had created her own version of Toad from Super Mario Bros. But in fact, Hilton chose to recreate the red latex fringe ensemble that Katy Perry wore for her Las Vegas Residency in 2021. If, like me, you're not familiar with the look, take a look at the photo below and you'll see just how much nailed the look.

Her fans were certainly surprised to see Hilton’s look, especially the Paris Hilton Black Hair. After seeing her Halloween pictures, one user commented on her Instagram post, “You look more like Katy than Katy! That’s hot.”
If you don’t know, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen the star with black hair in recent years. Last year in December, the socialite disguised herself with a jet-black wig styled into two braids for a day at Disneyland. That wig had bangs, so one thing is clear she didn't just pull it out again for her Halloween costume.

She was dressed casually in a pair of dark wash bootcut jeans and a gray zip-up paired with a matching hat. From the pictures went captured, it appears that Hilton enjoyed the shopping trip with her husband, Carter Reum, who held a large Gucci shopping bag. Herband Carter also dressed in an unassuming outfit, wearing dark jeans with a plain black T-shirt and sneakers. He played with the photographers who outsmarted their disguises by seemingly recording them with his phone as they snapped their own pictures.
