Paris Hilton rocks Coachella in custom outfit by fire-affected designer
Paris Hilton donned a daring custom look made by small business owner Hana O’Connor.
A Statement of Style and Support
Paris Hilton turned heads at Coachella 2025 not just with her fashion, but with the powerful story behind it. On April 13, the 44-year-old DJ and entrepreneur revealed on Instagram that the black, cutout catsuit she wore during Day 2 of the music festival was designed by Hana O’Connor, a small business owner whose L.A. storefront was destroyed in recent wildfires.
“Day 2 #Coachella slay in a custom look by @crop_itlikeits_hot 💖✨,” Hilton captioned the post, referring to O’Connor’s fashion brand.
Desert Glam Meets Empowerment
The striking outfit featured strategic cutouts along the arms, legs, sides, and torso, paired with a sparkly white shrug, silver chain detailing, and bold black boots. Hilton finished the ensemble with silver star earrings and playful butterfly hair clips.
More than a fashion moment, Hilton used the spotlight to uplift O’Connor, whom she described as a “rave queen with serious vision.”
A Million-Dollar Impact for Women-Owned Businesses
Hilton shared that O’Connor is one of 50 women who received a grant through her nonprofit, 11:11 Media Impact, in partnership with GoFundMe. Initially launched to support 11 women-owned businesses affected by the L.A. fires, the program expanded to 50 businesses, distributing over $1 million in grants.
“This is what #SlivingForSmallBiz is all about—empowering women, celebrating creativity, and showing up for each other 💕,” Hilton wrote.
From Personal Loss to Community Uplift
Hilton herself was directly impacted by the January fires, losing her Malibu home. Since then, she’s been actively helping others — from volunteering at animal shelters to auctioning pieces of her Y2K wardrobe to raise money for fire relief efforts.
Making Coachella a Family Affair
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Hilton hinted that she may be turning this year’s Coachella into a family experience, though it remains unclear whether her children, Phoenix Barron (2) and London Marilyn (1), joined her in the desert.
