Considering her decades of party-hopping across the globe as both a DJ and a starry guest, Paris Hilton is the ultimate connoisseur of soirées. (Remember her iconic appearances with Nicole Richie at T-Mobile’s Sidekick fêtes, those countless MTV afterparties and her international birthday bashes?)
More from The Hollywood Reporter
For the 2024 holiday season, the entrepreneur and activist is tapping into her experience as part of a new partnership with Klarna, the AI-powered global payment network and shopping assistant that has previously teamed with Hilton collaborator Bretman Rock, Queer Eye fashion expert Tan France and other stars. As part of the campaign, the 43-year-old socialite reveals her go-to gifts and hosting must-haves ranging from instant cameras and photo backdrop kits, to a fragrance and everyday tote bag from her namesake brand. (Of course, many of her picks are in Barbiecore pink — a hue she championed long before the hit Greta Gerwig film.)
“This season, I wanted to make holiday shopping and hosting both fun and stress-free,” the Paris in Love star tells The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. “Whether you’re throwing a fabulous party or searching for the perfect gifts, this guide has all my top picks.”
Adds hotel heiress, “I love that Klarna offers so many ways to shop smartly, making it easy to bring a bit of holiday style to everyone on your list.” The e-commerce and in-store service allows shoppers to make four interest-free payments on purchases, find the best prices across multiple retailers and earn cash back from participating stores.
This month, Hilton will release a glitter vinyl edition of her latest album, Infinite Icon, with the track “BBA” featuring Megan Thee Stallion, “Chasin'” with Meghan Trainor, “Fame Won’t Love You” and “If the Earth Is Spinning” with Sia and “I’m Free” featuring Rina Sawayama. Naturally, the LP is among her gifting recommendations alongside a Hello Kitty unicorn plush that’s “perfect for little ones,” including her own kids. (The singer welcomed her second child with husband Carter Reum via surrogate last year.)
Ahead, see Hilton’s stylish suggestions for hosting the best holiday celebration and her gift guide for kids, fashion fans, techies and others on your list — with many items available at Bloomingdale’s, Amazon, Walmart, Target and other retailers that accept Klarna payments.
