A Sea of Celebration: Paris Hilton Throws Underwater-Themed Bash for Son Phoenix’s First Birthday
Paris Hilton, darling hotel heiress and queen of the 2000s socialite scene, has always had an affinity for over-the-top celebrations. This weekend was no exception, as Hilton hosted a fantastical underwater-themed first birthday party for her beloved son Phoenix at her sprawling Los Angeles estate.
The reality star took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday to share some snapshots from Phoenix’s magical celebration, which was designed around a “Sliving Under the Sea” theme.
Hilton transformed her backyard into a whimsical aquatic wonderland, adorned with azure and cerulean balloons floating like bubbles over coral chairs and starfish-shaped cushions. The patio glistened with strands of faux seaweed and shells, as music from The Little Mermaid set a playful mood. It was a dazzling spectacle only someone of Hilton’s glitzy caliber could pull off.
“I’ve thrown amazing birthday parties my whole life,” Hilton remarked as she held the guest of honor, dapper in a sailor suit. “So to now be able to do this for my little boy is such a special memory.”
Hilton was resplendent in a shimmering gown with ruffled sleeves reminiscent of sea foam. Yet she was outshone by the adorable Phoenix, who explored the elaborate decor with wide-eyed wonder. Celebrity guests like Kelly Osbourne and Rumer Willis accompanied their own children to partake in the whimsy.
The party also included an petting zoo with birds, rabbits, and even a unicorn for the kids to enjoy. Hilton cradled Phoenix as they gently stroked the animals together, savoring the tender moment.
Though Phoenix turned one on January 16th, Hilton could not let the milestone pass without a fitting fête. After a difficult journey to motherhood, Phoenix is clearly his mother’s whole world. Just weeks prior, Hilton penned a heartfelt birthday tribute to her “precious little one,” crediting Phoenix with bringing “so much love and happiness” into her life.
No detail was overlooked for Phoenix’s splendid celebration, from ethereal desserts dusted with edible glitter to gossamer buttercream finery. As the afternoon wound down, Phoenix drifted to sleep in his mother’s arms, sweet birthday dreams dancing in his head.
It was a party worthy of the tiny prince, remind the world that while Paris Hilton has grown up, her talent for revelry remains unmatched. The heiress has raised the bar yet again for first birthdays everywhere. Her darling son may be too young to appreciate the magic, but what fabulous memories for him to cherish someday.
