Are we time-travelling? Not quite, but Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie’s coordinated yet contrasting ensembles at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards in 28th October definitely brought back those early 2000s emotions. As they attended the event in New York City together, the legendary pair demonstrated that the best buddy style is still relevant.
Hilton, 43, stood out in an Oscar de la Renta red floral minidress, accessorized with a purse and red heels. Richie, 43, chose to dress more subtly by donning a sophisticated black leather gown with no back and black heels. This was their first time attending the CFDA gala together; Richie had been there twice before, in 2005 and 2013, but Hilton had never been there before.

In a ceremony hosted by Cynthia Erivo and honouring fashion legends like Erykah Badu, they gave Raul Lopez of Luar the American Accessory Designer of the Year award during the evening.
‘The Simple Life’ besties had a busy year, recording a remake of the show that debuted more than ten years ago throughout the summer. Although the upcoming season’s specifics are unknown, viewers are excitedly awaiting the pair’s antics after seeing them working at a Sonic Drive-In and dressed as pageants.
Lionel Richie made light of the two’s comeback to television earlier this year, joking that “they’re older but haven’t changed.” Even though they’re clearly still a force on the red carpet, “those two scare me just standing next to each other.”
