Paris Hilton’s latest hair transformation is simply fabulous.
The Simple Life alum debuted her darkest hair color in years as she walked the runway at the Gucci Cruise 2027 collection fashion show May 16.
At the event, the 45-year-old strutted her stuff in a yellow and gold puff-sleeved dress, which she wore with black boots, an oversized fur coat and a red handbag. But what stole the show was Paris’ new ’do.
After all, the reality star ditched her signature blonde locks in favor of glossy dark brown tresses. And her beauty transformation didn’t stop there. Indeed, Paris also debuted side bangs as she took the runway.
Recently, Paris—mom to kids Phoenix, 3, and London, 2, with husband Carter Reum—shared her secret to feeling confident in her skin, and hair, all summer long.
“Especially in the summertime, it’s all about feeling your best,” Paris told E! News in an interview published April 10. “And when you feel and look good, you just feel more confident, especially if you’re taking care of your hair.”
As for her best kept hair care secrets?

“One thing that I’ve learned is that it’s so important to keep your hair moisturized,” she explained, “and also to have a stylist that really knows how to work with your hair and not use too much heat on it.”

And while blonde has been Paris’ go-to hair color since the very beginning, she revealed that her iconic tint is dependent on what chapter of life she’s in.
“And for being blonde as well, just finding a color that’s customized for you and your skin tone and your vibe, and just the moment you’re in,” she continued. “And blonde looks effortless but there is so much artistry behind it.”
But hair care tips aren’t the only beauty pointers the Paris in Love star has shared. Previously, she got candid about her anti-aging routine.
“I feel really proud that I’m all natural,” she said on the Zach Sang Show podcast in 2024. “I’ve stayed out of the sun. I’ve never done any Botox, injectables, no surgery, nothing.”

Paris also detailed how her decked-out at-home spa aids in her youthful glow.
“I’ve also built a spa in my house called the Sliving Spa,” Paris explained. “It has the most epic LED lights, hydrafacial machines, hyperbaric chamber, cryotherapy. It’s basically a real spa that you would see.”
And while noting that “the plan” is to “sliv forever,” Paris added, “My husband is like, ‘Forever is not long enough, so we need the Sliving Spa at the house.’”
