Paris Hilton Glitters at the MTV VMAs in Statement Spiked Dress and Dazzling Pumps

Paris Hilton amplified the glamour while attending the 2021 MTV VMAs in Brooklyn on Sunday night.

The “Cooking with Paris” host donned a dazzling silver dress, which sparkled as she made an entrance in a pastel pink Mini Cooper with singer Kim Petras. The long-sleeved The Blonds number was covered in embellishments, which included crystals, mirror fragments and silver spikes in varying sizes. The piece also featured a high neckline and asymmetric skirt. Hilton kept her accessories minimal, only wearing a pair of stud earrings and her engagement ring to let the dress make the boldest statement.
