Kathy Hilton, who recently shone at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards alongside her daughter Nicky Hilton, graced the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles on Thursday, September 21, for the Elizabeth Taylor Ball to End AIDS fundraising gala, accompanied by her husband, Richard Hilton.
This star-studded affair united Hollywood luminaries like Angela Bassett, Courtney B. Vance, Paris Jackson, EJ Johnson, and Jennifer Tilly, all coming together for a noble cause.
Famous for her role in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, 64-year-old Kathy exuded elegance in a striking black creation by the renowned Australian designer Rebecca Vallance.

The Katie minidress, featuring voluminous puffed short sleeves and a plunging neckline beautifully enhanced by three sparkling taffeta bows adorned with lustrous crystals, struck the perfect balance between modesty and allure.
As the wealthy American fashion designer and actress walked the red carpet, glimpses of skin peeked through the intricate bodice cutouts, creating a mesmerizing visual. The form-fitting silhouette effortlessly transitioned into an A-line skirt, elegantly skimming just above her knees.
Kathy carried a small silver Jimmy Choo rhinestone evening bag, glistening like a disco ball and epitomizing glamour and style, housing her essentials for the event. She added extra sparkle to her ensemble with silver diamond-studded hoop earrings.

To complete her impeccable look, Kathy chose black satin Jimmy Choo pumps embellished with a crystal accent detail on the toes, infusing a touch of elegance to her footwear, featuring a pointed toe and slingback style with an angular architectural design.

Kathy exclaimed, “I’ve never seen my daughter happier in her life. I’ve never seen her so happy.”

In discussing her daughter’s parenting, Kathy shared that Paris occasionally seeks advice from her and her sister Nicky Hilton, stating, “You know, she’ll call me for certain advice or Nicky. I’m up there a lot.”
