Fans Believe Paris Hilton’s Comments About Staying ‘All Natural’ Brings Up A Larger Conversation About Aging
When Paris Hilton confidently announced to the world that she’s “all natural” — no Botox, no fillers, no surgery, nothing — it caught more than a few of her long-time fans off guard.
During her Zach Sang Show interview, the “ADHD” singer elaborated, saying, “I feel really proud that I’m all natural. I’ve stayed out of the sun. I’ve never done any Botox, injectables, no surgery, nothing.” She credited her youthful glow to her mom’s advice at age 8, adding, “My mom told me when I was 8 years old, ‘Paris, stay out of the sun.’ And then she taught me this amazing 10-step skincare routine. So I’ve literally been doing that since I’m 8.”
Cue the collective eye-roll. Like Eva Longoria’s comments about living abroad following the election, fans felt like Hilton’s comment was out completely out of touch: “Reeks of ‘not like other girls.’ She was famous in the early 2000s and it really shows in the way she conducts herself and the things she says. I truly don’t think [she] realizes it’s looked down upon to say s*** like this nowadays,” one fan noted on social media.
And why wouldn’t it feel a little disingenuous? Hilton’s picture-perfect skin owes a massive debt to her family’s billionaire background, which allowed her to skip life’s usual wear and tear. No overwhelming workweeks, no years of skipping dermatologist appointments because of prohibitive costs.
Instead, Hilton was pampered with early access to high-end skincare, top-tier products, and zen-like levels of stress. One fan summed it up bluntly, “She has MONEY — and having no stress and access to the top skincare products and treatments will keep anyone looking young.” While we don’t doubt that Hilton has stress — she might be ultra wealthy, but she’s still human — it definitely isn’t the same stress that the 37% of Americans who would be in financial turmoil with an emergency expense over $400 feel.
While many tout their go-to drugstore serum as a skincare lifesaver, Hilton has likely been basking in red-light therapy and advanced laser treatments since before most of us learned what SPF stands for. Case in point? Her underground spa, glimpsed during a past Call Her Daddy interview, which houses what can only be called a temple of luxury treatments. Her version of “natural” might as well come with a platinum price tag.
“It could be fairly true,” one fan mused, citing her long-term access to elite skincare tools and treatments. Another questioned the timing of it all, speculating this could just be to create buzz for her next business move. “She said this for attention, right? To bump up her name in search results and stuff, PR, etc.?” Hilton is set to launch a skincare line, 11:11 Beauty, in January 2025. The fact that she cited a skincare regimen, as opposed to cosmetic procedures, makes sense for someone ramping up yet another celebrity beauty and wellness brand.
The larger issue here is how framing beauty as “all natural” creates an illusion — especially from someone with access to resources that safeguard against the very normal process of aging. What Hilton seems to think of as an attainable beauty ideal is massively skewed by the privilege she’s always enjoyed.
Sure, Hilton can choose to age naturally. When you’re cushioned by a golden parachute of privilege, with a private spa and a team of experts at your beck and call, why not? But for the rest of us —fumbling through drugstore aisles and googling “affordable wrinkle cream” — aging naturally means bracing for every laugh line and crow’s foot without the safety net.
