Guess What Paris and Nicole Wore to a Britney Spears Concert in 2001
Earlier this week, Paris Hilton created a frenzy with a simple tweet: "Should The Simple Life return?" Almost 2000 people on the Who What Wear Instagram account had an opinion on the matter, confirming that essentially everyone is still obsessed with Hilton and her former co-star Nicole Richie.
As I was doing photo research for a story on the matter, I stumbled across a real gem from November 2001: Hilton and Richie at a Britney Spears concert in Las Vegas. True to her aesthetic, Hilton wore an all-pink look along with a furry Barbie bag and a tiara (because why not?). On the other hand, Richie chose an American-flag tank top with trousers, ankle boots, and a Prada bag for the occasion. If this isn't 2001 style in a nutshell, I don't know what is.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
