Paris Hilton, 40, pays homage to her iconic 21st birthday outfit ahead of the Grammys

The silver chainmail dress she wore at her 21st birthday party in 2002 is considered one of her most iconic looks. 

And Paris Hilton looked sensational as she recreated the look 19 years on ahead of Sunday night’s Grammy Awards. 

The star, 40, looked incredible as she sported an updated remake of the Julien McDonald gown. 

Paris ensured she’d turn heads in the low cut cowl neck number which featured cut out panels at the waist.

She commanded attention in the short dress which accentuated her svelte pins and petite frame. 

In one snap, she gazed back over her shoulder, showing off the backless frock which teased a glimpse of her derriere.  

The Stars Are Blind hitmaker sported a matching silver choker and metallic fingerless gloves to tie her look together.

She finished off her ensemble with silver sling-back court heels as she posed up a storm.  

Paris styled her signature blonde locks in sleek lines which hung to her midriff and added a glamorous makeup palette to her features. 

The socialite was said to be whittling down her outfit choices ahead of the socially distanced Grammy Awards, which will take place at the famed arena Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles. 

Paris will not be attending the event in person, however, as the ceremony will take place with just the performers and nominees as each other’s audience in order to adhere with Covid restrictions.  

Meanwhile, Paris recently recalled when she had a ‘really scary’ encounter with a fan in her own kitchen.

She admitted she’s always attracted unwanted attention, and found it ‘creepy’ when people would rummage through her bins for souvenirs. 

Speaking to Sean Evans on his YouTube series ‘Hot Ones’, she detailed a more disturbing incident came when a man fooled a member of her staff into thinking he was one of her friends, leaving her terrified. 

Paris said: ‘I remember one time I came home and there were paparazzi there. They were like, “By the way, some guy was like, looking through your trash, taking everything with him, and he’s been doing this a couple of times”…

‘And it was just creepy that someone was doing that. My housekeeper at the time [let him in because she] didn’t know, because this guy said he was my friend. He was just sitting in my kitchen waiting for me, which was really scary.’

Despite this, the star admits she likes interacting with her fans on Instagram and Twitter but she worries about the messages social media can send to young people, so warned them not to take the sites seriously.

She said: ‘I can’t even imagine being a 13-year-old girl and having these pressures of having to be perfect and care about likes and people trolling you and being mean. 

‘I just feel that anyone out there should know that you shouldn’t base your opinion on yourself, or your self-worth, on the opinion of stranger… I think that’s a really important message for kids to know.’

Paris recently got engaged to fiancé Carter Reum, 40, after he proposed after a year of dating while the couple celebrated her 40th birthday on a private island last month.
