I don’t think there’s a Von Dutch trucker hat, or rhinestone tiara in the world Paris Hilton hasn’t tried on for size. The former socialite and noughties icon has literally done it all, whether it be serving fast food at a cut-price burger joint, cleaning the rooms of a nudist resort, or even packing sausages (with dog food) during one peculiar stint as a butcher. She’s managed to perforate the public consciousness on all levels, no matter how high or low. I mean, name another celebrity with a tangible presence in Mecca and the middle aisle of a South London Lidl – I’ll wait.

Even a highly-publicised string of burglaries that took place at her Beverly Hills home were deemed worthy of a feature length film. I could list countless other instances Hilton was at the forefront of popular culture for simply going about her life, but then we’d be here for an eternity.

As our third SS20 cover star, Hilton gets candid on fame, empire and her upcoming documentary.
