Paris Hilton sparked a debate on Instagram over the weekend when she advocated for the comeback of low-rise jeans, a controversial denim trend from the early 2000s. Sharing throwback photos of herself rocking the hip-hugging style, Hilton's post received mixed reactions from fans and celebrities alike.
While some praised Hilton for pulling off the look back in the day, others expressed concerns about the potential impact on body image and self-esteem. One commenter even attributed their past eating disorder to the unrealistic standards set by such fashion trends.
Despite the divided opinions, designer Ronny Kobo revealed plans to bring back low-rise jeans, inspired by Hilton's iconic style. This move hints at a potential resurgence of the Y2K fashion era.
Notably, Hilton has been embracing nostalgia recently, as seen in her social media posts featuring old photos and references to 2000s pop-punk culture. Her willingness to revisit past trends, such as the silver sparkling dress she wore on her 21st birthday, has resonated with fans who continue to draw inspiration from her iconic looks.
In a statement to Page Six, Hilton expressed appreciation for the imitation of her style, noting that it is a form of flattery. She highlighted the significance of the dress in reflecting her personal style and the joy she finds in inspiring others.
As Hilton continues to celebrate her fashion legacy and influence on trends, it remains to be seen whether the resurgence of low-rise jeans will gain widespread acceptance or face continued skepticism from those wary of revisiting past fashion statements.
