Paris Hilton brought plenty of sparkle to the 2026 LACMA Art+Film Gala, stepping onto the red carpet in a dazzling Jenny Packham gown that looked straight out of a fairy tale. The socialite and businesswoman attended the star-studded event on Saturday, 7 November, in Los Angeles, where she caught everyone's attention in a figure-hugging, heavily embellished dress.
With matching glittering gloves, statement jewellery and her signature blonde hair, Hilton made sure there was no shortage of shine. Her appearance also caught the attention of social media users, with the internet describing her as 'a silver doll' — a fitting description for an outfit that literally sparkled from head to toe.

Hilton Shines in a Head-to-Toe Sparkling Jenny Packham Gown
For the occasion, Hilton wore the Yves Beaded Maxi Dress by British designer Jenny Packham. The floor-length gown featured an eye-catching plunging sweetheart neckline, delicate shoulder straps and intricate beadwork that covered almost the entire design.
The dress came in a soft, shimmering shade described as marmo green, although its silver-toned embellishments gave it an icy metallic appearance under the red carpet lights. Hilton took the look a step further by pairing the gown with matching sheer opera gloves covered in sparkling details.
The accessories gave the outfit an old-Hollywood feel while keeping the overall look firmly in glamorous eveningwear territory. She also wore a layered diamond choker and additional jewellery draped across her neckline, adding even more shine to an already glitter-heavy ensemble.
Her beauty look was just as polished. Hilton wore her platinum blonde hair straight and sleek, parted down the middle and falling over her shoulders. She completed the look with defined eyes, long lashes and glossy nude-pink lipstick.
Jenny Packham Is Also a Favourite of Kate Middleton
Hilton's choice of designer comes with a royal connection. Packham is one of the British fashion designers frequently chosen by Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, for major public appearances and formal occasions. The designer is particularly known for her glamorous evening gowns, delicate embroidery, detailed beadwork and sparkling embellishments — details that have become familiar in many of Middleton's most memorable outfits.
Over the years, the Princess of Wales has worn several Jenny Packham creations for royal engagements, state occasions and other high-profile events. Her wardrobe has helped bring the designer's elegant, feminine style to an international audience.
Paris Hilton Joins Hollywood Stars at the 2026 LACMA Gala
Hilton was among the many celebrities who attended the 15th annual LACMA Art+Film Gala, presented by Gucci. The event took place at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on 7 November and brought together stars from the worlds of entertainment, fashion and art.
This year's gala honoured artist Vija Celmins and filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio and museum trustee Eva Chow served as co-chairs, while BLACKPINK's Rosé performed during the evening.
Other famous faces in attendance included Nicole Kidman, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Anya Taylor-Joy, Andrew Garfield, Salma Hayek Pinault, Sienna Miller and Viola Davis. The annual fundraiser supports LACMA's exhibitions, acquisitions, educational programmes and film-related initiatives.
The 2026 edition also marked the event's 15th year, with the gala raising nearly $7 million (£5.2 million) for the museum. With so many familiar faces bringing their fashion A-game, the red carpet offered plenty of memorable looks.
Still, Hilton's sparkling Jenny Packham creation made a strong case for keeping a little extra glitter in the eveningwear wardrobe. And if the internet's silver doll comparison is anything to go by, Hilton certainly understood the assignment.
