Paris Hilton T-Mobile Sidekick 3 Launch 2006 Style • CelebMafia

Paris Hilton, captured at the T-Mobile Sidekick 3 Launch on June 20, 2006, at 6215 Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, presented a look that was quintessentially her for the era—a playful nod to retro chic, but with that unmistakable Y2K sparkle. (One almost expects a flip-phone to complete the ensemble, doesn’t one?)

Ah, 2006. A year that, for many of us in fashion’s inner sanctum, feels both eons ago and just yesterday. And there was Paris Hilton, at the T-Mobile Sidekick 3 Launch in Hollywood on June 20th, embodying the very essence of the moment. Her ensemble wasn’t haute couture, no, but it was a masterclass in personal branding, a delightful confection of playful Americana meets burgeoning celebrity empire.

The dress itself, a charming navy blue midi, featured a sweetheart neckline accented with crisp white trim, giving it an almost sailor-esque, vintage pin-up vibe. The white buttons marching down the front provided a charming, decorative detail, while the fitted bodice flowed into a slightly gathered skirt. It was a silhouette that, while nodding to mid-century aesthetics, was undeniably fresh for the mid-aughts, a clever subversion of the era’s more prevalent low-rise denim and babydoll tops.
