Nicky Hilton’s birthday bash: A glamorous soirée and fashion launch
Nicky Hilton’s Birthday Celebration, which coincided with the launch of her new fashion collaboration with Rebecca Vallance, became an event to remember. Held on October 5 at the opulent Bel Air mansion of her parents, Kathy and Rick Hilton, the party embodied both luxury and celebration.
A night of glamour
The event, hosted by the renowned retail site MyTheresa, welcomed a star-studded guest list. Celebrities like Kris Jenner, Jennifer Tilly, Maria Bakalova from The Apprentice, Jamie King, Kelly Osbourne, and singer Jessie J were all in attendance. Adding to the glitz were familiar faces from Real Housewives, Dylan Mulvaney, and fashion icon Rachel Zoe. These personalities collectively transformed the palatial estate into an even more radiant spectacle.
Glamorous fashion took center stage with the debut of “The Nicky Hilton for Rebecca Vallance Holiday Collection”. The collection featured 31 sparkling pieces, from mini, to midi, and maxi dresses adorned with Hilton’s favorite girlish embellishments: bows, rosettes, sequins, stars, and more sequins.
Family flair
Nicky herself shone in an icy periwinkle spangled mini dress. Reflecting the celebratory spirit, her sister Paris Hilton donned its red twin, while their mother, Kathy Hilton, chose a mini decked out in black and silver. The ambiance resembled a “Barbie Christmas,” with many female guests sporting the collection’s disco ball minis, often paired with jeweled stilettos. The designer, Rebecca Vallance, elegantly matched her red satin dress with her glossy lips, highlighting the overall theme of the evening: bold and festive fashion.
From Instagram to IRL collaboration
Nicky Hilton’s journey to this collaboration had its unique beginnings. As a mom of three living in New York with husband James Rothschild, Nicky first admired Rebecca Vallance’s designs from afar. During a charity event while heavily pregnant, she attempted to purchase a Rebecca Vallance dress, only to find it sold out everywhere. Taking a bold step, she slid into Rebecca’s DMs, sparking the beginning of what would become an inspiring partnership.
Their first in-person meeting over margaritas in New York last year sealed their mutual admiration and led to the inception of the capsule collection. Months of collaborative effort followed, with daily design sessions often conducted over Zoom. When MyTheresa expressed interest and backed the collection, it came with a hefty price tag: $800 to $1200 per piece. Despite this, the dresses saw brisk sales, boosted by Nicky modeling in the lookbook.
A feast for the senses
The birthday celebration was more than just a fashion extravaganza. The palatial estate presented a gastronomic delight, featuring an array of gourmet treats. Guests indulged in dishes such as roasted tenderloin of beef, Japanese cured salmon, breast of chicken, tomato bruschetta, rack of lamb, mini chicken pot pies, cheese puffs, Waygu beef, potato cups with caviar, spicy tuna tartare, and a full chocolate fondue station, complete with pumpkin madeleines.
Of course, no birthday celebration is complete without a cake. A towering pink three-layer cake symbolized the evening’s sweet successes, cut amid the chorus of “Happy Birthday” by Nicky’s friends and family. Though, as far as we could tell, the birthday girl never took a bite.
Reflecting on Hilton’s influence
Nicky Hilton’s collaborative fashion line and her elaborate birthday celebration encapsulate her status in the fashion world. Her ability to seamlessly merge her personal style with the creative visions of other designers highlights her expertise and depth of understanding in fashion. The collection is a testament to the meticulous design process and the synergistic energy between Hilton and Vallance.
The glamorous event wasn’t just about celebrating a birthday or fashion launch; it was a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the unyielding spirit of modern femininity.
