Paris Hilton divides fans with bid to make low-rise jeans fashionable again: ‘Only for you’

Hot or not?

That’s what people were debating in Paris Hilton’s comments section over the weekend, after the 43-year-old reality star took to Instagram to weigh in on a controversial denim trend.

“Hot Take 🔥” Hilton captioned a series of photos that showcased a few of her outfits from the early 2000s. “Low rise jeans should make a comeback 💁🏼‍♀️✨”

While the mom of two no doubt nailed the look decades ago, rocking hip-hugging styles on the red carPet and at various events, many disagreed with the statement, pleading for Hilton to leave the past in the past.

“You were the only human who pulled this off,” wrote actress Alyssa Milano, while Nikki Glaser shared similar thoughts. “Yes but only for you!” the comedian said.

Fans were a bit less subtle with their opinions, reminding Hilton that they look little different now than they did during the Y2K era.

“paris, we all have mom bods now, we can’t bring back the low rise jeans 🫣,” one person joked.

Another added that they’ll continue rocking a more covered-up alternative. “Nah we have fupas and love handles now..I’ll stick to my high waist.”

A few people took the opportunity to get serious about the effect low-rise jeans had on their mental Health.

“This is exactly why I had an eating disorder in high school,” someone commented. “The standards were ridiculous.”

Still, not everyone was against the return of throwback design. Designer Ronny Kobo revealed that, at least with her brand, a comeback was already underway.

“Call me!! We are bringing them back 😍❤🔥 inspired by you!!!” she told Hilton.

The “Paris: The Memoir” author has admittedly been in a nostalgic mood as of late. Just a day after weighing on jeans, she posted even more old photos, this time going with a music theme.

“I’ve been feeling like a #Y2K Pop-Punk Princess Paris lately 👸🏼🎸,” the captioned the post. “What’s your favorite 2000’s girl rock anthem? #ThatsHot #Sliving #Throwback 🎧⚡️”

Last year, Hilton decided to bring back another old school style from the star of the millennium: a silver, sparkling dress, similar to the one she wore on her 21st birthday. And she kept the trend going over the weekend, celebrating her birthday in a long-sleeved version of the iconic look.

The outfit is one that people continue to channel decades later, and in 2019, Hilton told Page Six that she didn’t mine. “Imitation is the highest form of flattery.”

“As soon I put that dress on, I knew it was iconic,” Hilton said at the time. “I’d never seen anything like it before, and it was so me. So to see so many people using it as inspiration is just the best.”
