Remember when Paris Hilton wore a Barbie-branded handbag to a Britney Spears concert?

More than two decades before anyone knew the term “Barbiecore,” there was one celebrity who epitomized the hot-pink-drenched fashion trend that has dominated runways, red carpets, the street style scene and social media feeds for the past year: Paris Hilton. Director Greta Gerwig may have cast Margot Robbie in the title role for July’s hotly-anticipated “Barbie” movie, but, in the early 2000s, Hilton was already the physical embodiment of a real-life Barbie. And in November 2001, the hotel heiress made a fashion statement that etched itself in the annals of noughties style. For a night out with then-bestie Nicole Richie — the pair made their way to watch Britney Spears perform in Las Vegas — Hilton’s outfit included a fuchsia-pink deep V-neck mini dress, pink sweatbands, arm cuffs as well as heels of the same color palette. To top it off, she wore a tiara, applied a glossy pink lip and pink eyeshadow and clutched onto a furry Barbie-branded handbag. As if thrown together in a too-cool-to-care way, the look as a whole worked perfectly.
