Paris Hilton is stepping beyond the image that defined her early fame, describing activism as “the most meaningful work of my life” as she prepares to unveil a new chapter in an upcoming documentary. Long known for her status as a socialite and reality TV star, Hilton now aims to reframe her public persona by spotlighting her work as both a musician and an advocate in 'Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir.'
Premiering in cinemas on January 30, the documentary follows Hilton as she records her 2024 electro-pop album 'Infinite Icon' and prepares for a landmark performance at the Hollywood Palladium.
While she acknowledges that her playful, “bubbly blonde” persona remains part of who she is, Hilton uses the film to also emphasize her activism, including efforts to push for stronger federal oversight of youth care programs.
From being one of the defining sensations of the early 2000s, and among the first celebrities famous simply for being famous, to working alongside lawmakers to advocate for protections for children in reform schools and beyond, Paris Hilton’s story is far more complex than it appears. Suffice it to say, we may not know her as well as we think we do.
