Paris Hilton Shines at World Pride Music Festival

Paris Hilton brought her signature sparkle to Washington, DC, when she took the Dreamland stage at the World Pride Music Festival this week. Sharing a behind-the-scenes glimpse on Instagram, the pop icon gushed, “I always say I want to leave a little sparkle everywhere I go… and @WorldPrideMusicFestival was all that and more.”

A Night Of Sparkle And Sliving

Hilton’s performance was built on the concept she calls “sliving,” blending style and living your best life. Decked out in custom looks by The Blonds and Stuart Weitzman boots, she delivered high-energy hits amid cascading lights and confetti. Fans waved rainbow flags as she belted out chart-topping pop anthems. “The love and energy from this community mean everything to me,” Hilton captioned, adding that the festival was “a night I’ll never forget.”

Her crew included show director Mikey Minden, choreographers Matt McCall and Romeo Blanco, and photographer Ashley Osborn. Creative director Marc Duron oversaw on-stage visuals, while Joey Thao styled the dancers. Production design by CourDesign and styling by Blingdup helped turn Hilton’s vision into a vibrant Pride celebration.

Activism And Advocacy

Hilton has long used her platform for LGBTQIA+ causes. Earlier this month, she teamed up with Absolut US to support Rainbow Railroad, pledging donations tied to social-media engagement. She wrote, “Every time you post a Reel or TikTok using a track from Infinite Icon: The Remixes, I’ll donate $11 to @RainbowRailroad, up to $111,111.” That effort builds on her ongoing partnerships and her own Parívie skincare brand’s commitment to authenticity and self-love.

In an Instagram post at WeHo Pride, she thanked “my LGBTQIA+ fam” and noted the importance of community support. On the Tribeca Film Festival red carpet, she blended glamour and allyship, congratulating filmmakers and celebrating creative freedom.

Beyond The Stage

At 43, Paris Hilton remains a cultural force. A socialite turned DJ, model, actress and entrepreneur, she helped define 2000s pop-culture moments and has since built hotels, fragrance lines and her Parívie Beauty skincare line. According to her Wikipedia profile, she holds business degrees and serves on various charitable boards.

Her Dreamland set in DC was more than a concert—it was a declaration of solidarity. By mixing classic hits with Pride anthems, Hilton underscored her belief that music can unite diverse audiences. She closed with a heartfelt, “I’m forever yours,” and left the stage leaving behind that trademark sparkle.

Fans and media outlets praised her for flawlessly blending entertainment with activism. Social feeds lit up with clips of her dance routines and gleaming costumes—proof that Hilton’s influence has only grown more global.

From red carpets to festival stages, Paris Hilton continues to redefine her career on her own terms. Whether it’s launching a skincare line, headlining Pride events, or producing fashion moments, she remains a committed ally and a pop-culture trailblazer. The Dreamland crowd in DC saw firsthand why she’s still the Sliving queen.

Her next festival appearance is slated for later this year. But after a night of confetti and community, one thing is certain: Hilton’s sparkle is here to stay.
