The queen of Y2K style does it again! Paris Hilton stuns fans by channeling pop legends Britney Spears and Madonna in a series of nostalgic Halloween looks that pay homage to music’s most iconic eras.

Channeling Pop Icons

October 30, 2025: Paris Hilton has long embraced Halloween as an opportunity to transport herself into the world of pop-culture icons. Over the years, her costumes have paid homage to legends like Britney Spears and Madonna—melding nostalgia with her signature flair for glam.

A Tribute to Britney

Most recently, Hilton stepped into Britney Spears territory with striking accuracy. She recreated the iconic red latex look from Britney’s “Oops!… I Did It Again” video—complete with sleek side-parted hair, high-gloss finish, and even a set styled to resemble the music-video space-set. Her caption: “Oops, I did it again… Starting Halloweek by honoring my Queen.”

But this wasn’t new territory: in 2023, she recreated Britney’s “Toxic” flight-attendant look—a blue mini dress with matching hat and aviator glasses—arriving at a major LA Halloween event and lip-syncing: “It’s Britney, bitch.”

This kind of tribute works on two levels: it celebrates a close friendship (Britney and Paris go back years) and taps into the Y2K revival that’s currently behind so many fashion moments.

Looking Back: Madonna & Early Halloween Flair

Earlier in her Halloween history, Hilton turned to Madonna as inspiration. One memorable look saw her mimicking Madonna’s late-’80s/early-’90s “Material Girl” era, complete with lace gloves, layered necklaces, and bold-edged glamour. Another year she recreated Madonna’s style for a themed party, showing that Hilton’s Halloween isn’t just fun—it’s a full-on homage machine.

These references serve a broader purpose: Hilton isn’t merely dressing up. She’s curating an archive of pop-culture moments and sliding her own identity into them, placing herself alongside the very stars she transforms into.

Why It Works

Nostalgia Factor – Fans of early-2000s pop culture immediately recognise the homage and feel a connection.

Attention to Detail – Hilton doesn’t half-do it. Her recreations often include set design, props and co-stars (husband, kids or friends) joining in.

Cultural Commentary – By assuming the persona of a pop icon, Hilton draws attention to how those moments shaped her own public image and era.

Social-Media Ready – With Instagram posts and high-glam visuals, each costume becomes a shareable moment, ensuring it lives beyond Halloween night.

What to Expect Next

Given her track record, there are a few safe bets on what Hilton might do next:

More collaborations: Bringing her children or husband in complementary roles to amplify the theme.

Under-the-radar icons: Choosing pop-culture figures with cult status rather than mainstream #1s.

Theme-driven photo-shoots: Almost mini-campaigns rather than a one-night look—setting, props, video reels.

Audience engagement: Inviting fans to guess the next icon or share their own recreations, creating a participatory moment.

Final Thoughts

Paris Hilton’s Halloween transformations are more than costume play—they’re curated cultural artefacts. By stepping into the identities of pop icons like Britney Spears or Madonna, she taps into collective memory, reinterprets it through her own lens, and reminds us that the right costume can feel like a full-on time machine. More than just fun, it’s a statement: icons live on, and we dress them.
