You’ll Be Living for Paris Hilton’s Halloween Hair Transformation

Paris Hilton Looks Nearly Unrecognizable With Brunette Hair Transformation

Paris Hilton is saying “bonjour, bonjour, bonjour, bonjour, bonjour” to Halloween.

The Simple Life alum debuted a costume fit for a tale as old as time as she and her family dressed up as characters from Disney’s 1991 cartoon Beauty and the Beast. And she ditched her signature blonde locks to do so.

Hilton looked ready for more than this provincial life in photos shared to Instagram Oct. 26, channeling her inner Belle, with a brunette wig, a custom version of the character’s golden gown with a massive hoop skirt, long gloves and red flowers adorning the dress. Husband Carter Reum proved that he can indeed love her, dressing up as the Beast, complete with a mask of the prince from before his transformation. 

And of course, son Phoenix, 3, and daughter London, 2, got in on the fun with Phoenix putting his family’s service to the test as a mini Lumière and London transforming into the world’s cutest enchanted teacup, Chip.

“My life is a fairytale,” Hilton wrote in her Instagram caption, “and the magic never ends.”

The 45-year-old also offered a look at the behind-the-scenes magic, posting a video of the family’s photoshoot day to Instagram and quipping, “The reality of a #Halloween shoot with two toddlers.”

Both Phoenix and London quickly realized there’s something there with their mother’s costume as they immediately jumped under her hoop skirt with Phoenix declaring the dress to be “a tent.”

The toddler also got a bit of encouragement to be the perfect, pure paragon for the photo shoot with a voice telling him off camera, “Phoenix, if you’re super good for this, you’re gonna get to meet a gecko! Do you wanna meet a gecko and hold it?”

The motivation clearly worked as Hilton joked Phoenix—who did get to meet a gecko—and London were in their “locked in era,” mimicking their mom’s poses with their hands on their hips, as they moved around for the camera and gave each other some sweet sibling hugs.

And the two have always been extremely close, impressing the company in their little village with their connection

“London and Phoenix are the twins that are always connected at the hip,” Hilton told E! News at the January premiere of her new film Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir. “Phoenix is the best big brother. He's so protective over her.”

And London—who is only 11 months younger than Phoenix—is just as enchanted by her big brother. 

“She just loves and adores and looks up to him so much,” Hilton added. “It's really amazing to watch.”
