Paris Hilton, the iconic socialite and entrepreneur, stirred up excitement this Christmas season with a bold and daring holiday-themed photoshoot, showcasing her signature flair for glamour and controversy. The 43-year-old celebrity shared images and videos on Instagram featuring herself wearing nothing but a giant red bow and matching heels, captioned provocatively, "My presence is a present."
The post, set against the backdrop of her elaborately decorated Los Angeles mansion, included a shimmering Christmas tree adorned with pink and purple ornaments and oversized gift boxes. Accompanied by Ariana Grande's festive hit Santa Tell Me, the video showed Hilton striking poses and dancing, delighting many of her fans while sparking mixed reactions online.
Hilton's husband, Carter Reum, praised the photoshoot, commenting, "Love you showing moms can do it all and be it all!" Celebrities like Carmen Electra joined in the admiration, with fans dubbing Hilton a "real-life Jessica Rabbit." However, others criticized the public display, suggesting it might be inappropriate for someone with young children.
"Your kids will see this one day," noted one viewer, while another remarked, "This should have been just for your husband to see."

The festive reveal caps off a significant year for Hilton, who welcomed two children-Phoenix, born in January via surrogate, and London, born in November-with Reum. Reflecting on her growing family, Hilton shared in an interview with People that motherhood has brought her a deeper appreciation for life. "I thought I knew what love was with my husband, but as soon as I met my baby, it's just this love on another level," she said.
Hilton also emphasized how her new role as a mother has changed her priorities. "I'm constantly saying no to things, because I just want to spend as much time with him as possible, and I just don't want to miss any of these special moments in his life and all these milestones," she explained. "He's my everything, so I always put him first."
Hilton, who rose to fame as a reality TV star with The Simple Life in the early 2000s, recently reunited with childhood friend Nicole Richie for a special series, Paris and Nicole: The Encore. The three-part show revisits their antics from the original hit series, including a return to Altus, Arkansas, where they reconnected with locals they had worked alongside two decades ago. The reunion garnered nostalgic praise from fans, cementing Hilton's enduring appeal.
Beyond the holiday glamour, Hilton has embraced a quieter, more family-oriented lifestyle, often crediting her mother, Kathy Hilton, for instilling in her a love of festive traditions. "My mom is the Queen of Christmas," she told E! News. "My house is so decked out, and I thank Kathy Hilton because she is just the epitome of Christmas."
Still, Hilton admitted to finding joy in spoiling her children, revealing that she purchased a Hello Kitty car and a Barbie Jeep for them. "I've really learned this year that life is going and moving so fast and there's so many incredible moments," she explained. "I just want to soak it all in, be with my children as much as possible."
