Kathy Hilton Heads to MaxMara’s Dreamy Naples Show

Kathy Hilton touched down in Naples this week, trading the Beverly Hills glow for Italy’s historic seaside charm. In a recent Instagram post, the socialite shared three stunning snapshots captioned, “Counting down to a dreamy night in Naples with the @MaxMara family — can’t wait for the show! 💫 #italy #italiansummer” (Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DLAY-QdRCoc/). Against a twilight backdrop of the Bay of Naples, Hilton’s vibrant yellow gown and big-city confidence made for a picture-perfect fashion preview.

A Fashionable Countdown In Naples

In her post, Hilton stands on a terrace overlooking the city’s twinkling lights, the ornate balcony railing framing views of Mount Vesuvius in the distance. The three images show her beaming in a flowing floor-length dress, styled with delicate gold jewelry and oversized sunglasses—an ode to the brand’s Italian summer aesthetic. Fans flooded the comments section with heart emojis and anticipation, proving that Hilton’s fashion credentials remain as luminous as ever.

At 65, Kathy Hilton continues to redefine celebrity style. As a mother of Paris and Nicky Hilton and a long-time fixture on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she brings a sense of Old Hollywood glamour to every engagement. Her Naples preview marks the latest chapter in a career that spans socialite soirées, television appearances and her own forays into design.

A Longstanding Maxmara Partnership

This isn’t Hilton’s first outing with Italy’s beloved luxury label. In March, she posted behind-the-scenes photos from a New York City preview at the Whitney Museum, writing, “Such a special night with my @maxmara family at @whitneymuseum 💕💕 #NYC” (Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ9VujeADtV/). The gallery of black-and-white portraits captured models, editors and Hilton herself as they toasted the brand’s latest collection.

Hilton’s affiliation with MaxMara underscores her enduring role as a fashion ambassador. According to her biography, she launched the Kathy Hilton Collection in 2002, and has since channeled her lifelong love of style into jewelry collaborations—most recently a summer line inspired by vintage Hollywood heirlooms. Her keen eye for luxury design makes her a natural fit for MaxMara’s elegant, modern silhouettes.

While the runway show in Naples is invite-only, social media will bring the event to fans worldwide. Expect more intimate glimpses of Italian craftsmanship, from sweeping pleats to bold accessories, all set against the region’s classical architecture and sun-drenched piazzas.

As night falls over the Amalfi Coast, Hilton’s countdown becomes a broader celebration of summer elegance, family ties and the timeless allure of Italian fashion. Whether she’s sharing photos from a museum gala or standing center stage on an open-air runway, Kathy Hilton proves she’s always in vogue—no matter the zip code.
