Paris Hilton to attend Met Gala 2023 for first time ever

Paris Hilton is (finally) headed to the Met Gala.

The heiress, DJ and author will attend fashion’s biggest night for the first time ever this year, Page Six Style has confirmed.

TMZ was the first to report Hilton would be attending on Thursday.

Sources told the outlet that Hilton scored the coveted invite from Vogue and the designer of her look for the event, details of which are still under wraps.

The new mom was famously friendly with late designer Karl Lagerfeld, whose life and work are the focus of the Met Costume Institute’s accompanying exhibition this year.

She’s collected the fashion house’s bags for years, and even posed with Lagerfeld at a Dom Perignon party in 2006 — along with her friend and former employee Kim Kardashian, who will also be in attendance Monday.

Paris’ sister, Nicky, attended the ball just once, in 2001.

In her 2022 book “Anna: The Biography,” fashion journalist Amy Odell detailed the tight grip Vogue’s Anna Wintour maintains over every aspect of the gala — particularly the guest list.

“A night of excess and exhibition, the Met Gala is where Wintour flaunts her dominance over an industry that’s predicated on the understanding that there is an ‘in’ and an ‘out,’” Odell wrote.

“In Wintour’s world, people occupy those distinct buckets. Some are always ‘out’ — low-performing assistants, the Met’s event planners who tell her she can’t hang a dropped ceiling over a priceless statue, the Hilton sisters.”

Odell also noted, however, that it’s possible for someone to “begin as ‘out’ and become ‘in,’” citing Kardashian as an example.

It would seem that for Hilton — who’s fresh off the release of her memoir and has been making headlines with her advocacy against abusive youth facilities — that day has arrived.
