We may have Margot Robbie to thank for the invention of Barbiecore, but in all seriousness, Paris Hilton was the OG Barbie since day dot. The heiress hosted the Klarna & Paris Hilton House of Y2K launch party in Los Angeles on Thursday evening and was joined by a VIP guestlist for the occasion.

The 42-year-old dazzled in a custom Nicole & Felecia mini dress inspired by the iconic Julien Macdonald chainmail dress she wore on her 21st birthday, which was also one of the decade-defining looks displayed at the pop-up. The disco-ready garment featured an ultra mini silhouette, a structured cowl neck, an on-trend neck strap and a body-cinching fit.

Perfecting her Barbie babe aesthetic, the new mother wore her blonde hair down in a slick straightened style, allowing her sharp fringe to frame her face. She accessorised with a glitter-clad clutch bag, some coordinating fingerless gloves and Y2K sunglasses, in-keeping with the theme of the night. A super beautified makeup look enhanced her plastic-fantastic-themed attire.

Attendees even got Y2K-inspired makeup by MUA Nick Metos inspired by Paris' beauty blend and their personal items blinged out with Bling’d Up.

A variety of apparel, accessories, and tech from Paris Hilton’s personal Y2K archives were on display at the event, including the denim promo outfit from The Simple Life, blinged-out Hello Kitty accessories, her Swarovski 'Paris' sunglasses, and much more.

There's no denying that motherhood hasn't restricted Paris on the fashion front. The star delighted fans as she revealed her baby boy's name, a month after announcing the arrival of her first child with husband Carter Reum.

Paris announced the exciting news that she had become a mom, welcoming her baby boy through surrogacy, with a post on Instagram in which she is holding his hand. She took to Instagram yet again to reveal her son's name: Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.
