Kathy Hilton’s Style Secrets: Less Is More, Plus Paris & Nicky’s Closet Access!
Los Angeles, CA – Kathy Hilton, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, shared her signature style advice – prioritizing comfort and avoiding excess – while hosting a launch event for LoveShackFancy’s new “Sweetheart” fragrance at her Los Angeles home on March 20, 2026.
Hilton emphasized the importance of a polished, yet understated, aesthetic, a philosophy she’s imparted to her daughters, Paris, 45, and Nicky, 42. “A classic rule I’ve told Paris and Nicky is to be comfortable,” Hilton told Entertainment Tonight. “I’d rather be a little underdressed than overdressed because you can always throw on fun earrings or change your shoes if you’re leaving work or getting off a plane. You don’t want to come in with the whole kitchen sink and make a fool out of yourself. Dim it down a little bit. Just be fresh, pretty, and confident. That’s the best.”
The event celebrated the launch of LoveShackFancy’s “Sweetheart” fragrance, reportedly the brand’s seventh scent, and also coincided with Hilton’s birthday, according to social media posts from the event. Rebecca Hessel Cohen, founder of LoveShackFancy, described the fragrance as “fruity and floral,” and “happiness in a bottle,” perfect for spring and summer.
Hilton’s daughters frequently borrow from her extensive collection of accessories. While Paris and Nicky can’t wear her shoes due to a size difference, they often utilize her jewelry, handbags, and other accessories. Hilton recounted a recent instance of borrowing a bag from Paris, noting her daughter’s meticulous tracking of her belongings.
Beyond style, Hilton also revealed details about her daily wellness routine, including weekly Niagen IV treatments and daily Tru Niagen supplements for energy. She described herself as “a mad professor with putting things together,” constantly experimenting with lotions and potions, a habit shared by her daughters.
Hilton’s personal style extends to her purse essentials, which include a drugstore-bought eye mask, silicone foot pads, a small fan, and a Lorna Murray hat for sun protection and added height. She also prioritizes lip moisturization and RéVive neck cream as staples in her beauty regimen. She also noted a careful approach to fragrance application, avoiding spraying perfume on jewelry.
Despite her penchant for luxury, Hilton maintains a pragmatic approach to shopping, expressing equal enjoyment at stores like Target and Walmart as she does at high-end retailers like Bergdorf Goodman.
