Paris Hilton turned her latest red carpet into a family affair, arriving at the premiere of her new documentary with her two toddlers in tow and calling motherhood her entire universe. The reality star turned entrepreneur has spent years curating an image of effortless glamour, but in this new chapter she is just as eager to spotlight diaper bags as diamond necklaces. Her appearance at the debut of Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir made clear that the story she most wants to tell right now is the one unfolding at home.
At the center of the night was a film that promises to trace her evolution from club fixture to business mogul and now devoted parent, yet Hilton made sure the cameras caught Phoenix and London as much as the step-and-repeat. She has described her children as her “whole world,” and the premiere doubled as a love letter to them, a way of freezing this fleeting season of toddlerhood in time. For a woman who once embodied the phrase “That’s hot,” the warmest glow now seems to come from a stroller.
On the carpet, a fairy-tale gown and a very real family
The premiere of Infinite Icon was designed as a definitive statement on Paris Hilton’s legacy, and she dressed accordingly. Styled by Stylist Luca Falcioni, Hilton floated down the carpet in a princess-like Tony Ward gown that nodded to the fantasy image she helped define in the 2000s. The look, curated specifically for the Infinite Icon: A premiere, was meant to channel empowerment and being unapologetically herself, a visual shorthand for a woman who has learned to control the narrative around her life. It was a fairy-tale silhouette, but the details, from the structured bodice to the confident posture, spoke to a subject who is no longer playing a character.
What made the scene feel different from earlier eras of Hilton’s fame was who stood beside her. Husband Carter Reum flanked her on the carpet, with their children Phoenix and London close by, turning the event into a family milestone rather than a solo star turn. Reporting from the premiere notes that Husband Carter Reum and their kids were very much part of the spectacle, a deliberate choice that underlined how central they are to the story she is now telling. Hilton has said the film captures a moment when her children are “little babies” and that seeing them on screen is “so special,” a sentiment echoed in coverage that quotes her calling them her world and describing motherhood as something she was “born to do,” as reflected in Hilton.
“My babies are my world”: motherhood at the heart of the memoir
Hilton has been clear that the emotional core of the documentary is not just her rise as a pop culture fixture but the quieter transformation that came with parenting. She has described the project as a chance to be more vulnerable and to show sides of herself she once kept hidden, explaining that she has “become more vulnerable and more real” and is finally telling her story on her own terms, as detailed in a premiere interview. That candor extends to how she talks about Phoenix and London, whom she calls her “babies” and credits with reshaping her priorities. In her words, the film “captures such a moment in time with them,” a way of preserving the early days of their lives alongside the archival footage of her own.
Her language around parenting is strikingly absolute. In one conversation she said “my babies are my world,” and in another she framed motherhood as something she was destined for, sentiments that recur across coverage of the event and are highlighted in her comments. That intensity is consistent with how she has spoken about her children’s bond. She has shared that Phoenix, who is 3, and London, who is 2, feel like twins and are “always connected,” a description that appears in an interview where Paris Hilton details how the siblings mirror each other’s moods and routines.
That same interview underscores how central Carter Reum is to this family narrative. Hilton appears with her husband and their children Phoenix and London, describing how the four of them move through public events as a unit, a dynamic captured again when Carter Reum and the kids joined her at the premiere. For a woman who once built a brand on solo stardom, the choice to foreground her role as a wife and mother in such a high profile project is a quiet but meaningful rebrand.
