Talk about a statement coming so out of left field. Paris Hilton just recently revealed her new short hair was inspired by none other than Katie Couric. Yes, you read that right. Here’s what she has to say.
In her new This is Paris podcast, the beautiful blonde said that she decided to shop off her “mermaid” locks and go for a more Katie Couric look. She also opened up about her first night going out for an Oscars dinner party at Craigs in Hollywood.
Did Paris Hilton Just Say Katie Couric Is Her New Style Icon?
“It was so much fun to get dressed up, all dolled up, hair and makeup done,” she shares. “I had my hair cut shorter too, which I’m loving. I was so nervous to cut my hair in the beginning because I was just so used to having this long, mermaid hair. But after my Lanvin campaign, it was just getting such amazing reactions and I just felt like I looked so chic.”
Paris also said that her fiancé Carter Reum has given his seal of approval over her short hair. He told her that she looked “stunning” with her hair short. “I was like, ‘All right, chop it off.'”
“I’m loving my short hair,” Paris added, before sharing how she and her hairdresser, Glen Coco, created the new look. She recalls telling him that she just interviewed Couric and how she told him, “I love her hair and I just want it to look like this.”
“I showed him the video of Katie Couric, and he’s like, ‘What? I was not expecting you to say you want your hair done like Katie Couric,'” she says. “I was like, ‘Well, I love it, I think it looks so chic, it’s beautiful, and I told her I was going to copy her hairdo.'”
Paris added that this Oscars Party was the first time in a long time that she felt like her old self again. “It literally looked like if Barbie was wearing a Valentino gown mixed with Marilyn Monroe. It gave me that vibe from that movie … when she’s in the pink gown with diamonds,” she explained.
