Paris Hilton’s 2016 Airport Style: From All-Black Alaïa Boots to Winter-Defying White Marc Jacobs Pumps

Back in 2016, Paris Hilton reminded everyone why she has long been a front-row fashion favorite—even when just catching a flight.

The heiress turned LAX into her own runway on two separate occasions that year, proving she could make both edgy black leather and breezy winter whites airport-ready statements.

Paris Hilton has never been shy about showing off her slender physique, and it was no different when she was spotted at LAX Airport in September 2016.

Paris Hilton, known for her confident style choices, once again caught attention at LAX Airport in a sophisticated, all-black ensemble that hinted at a bold dominatrix-inspired theme

The then-35-year-old socialite highlighted her statuesque figure in an all-black dominatrix-style ensemble.

It included a long-sleeved cold-shoulder turtleneck sweater by A.L.C. and a pair of skintight leather pants that accentuated her long legs.

Paris accentuated the dominatrix vibe of the look with a silver body chain necklace. She also accessorized with a silver cuff, earrings, and a Loree Rodkin ring.

She hid her eyes behind a pair of Sunday Somewhere sunnies and carried a Christian Louboutin leather studded bag with chain straps to match her necklace.

The blonde beauty wore her hair up and sported minimal makeup with pink lip gloss.

Before serving all-black dominatrix-inspired glamour at LAX, Paris switched things up just a few months earlier with a completely different airport style—this time in crisp, summery white.

In January 2016, it seemed like everyone’s favorite heiress had forgotten what season it was. Paris Hilton was spotted arriving at LAX after a long flight from Switzerland in a white ensemble fit for a summer afternoon tea party.

The socialite braved the unusually cold Los Angeles weather in a white cut-out crop top and matching skirt, choosing style over season with her bold airport look.

Her metallic Marc Jacobs pumps, beige sun hat, and large signature sunglasses proved that she thought only one thing when she saw the weather report in L.A.: “That’s hot.”

The frequent-flying DJ didn’t seem the least concerned about the cold as she smiled and greeted fans while strolling through arrivals. Hilton chose an Alice & Olivia white crop top and a matching midi skirt from the same brand.

She kept her blonde locks long and natural and adorned her head with a wide-brimmed fedora hat.

Ditching the large luggage the rest of us might be accustomed to for an international flight, Paris opted instead for a small snakeskin and white leather clutch.

To complete her summery get-up, Hilton chose a pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic gold pumps.

Though we’re concerned and confused by her superhuman ability to maintain a smiling disposition while bearing that much skin in the cold, we also can’t deny that the heiress looked flawless. Hilton achieved one of her ultimate goals: everyone’s attention. And we have to give her credit. She did it with style.

While Paris’s 2016 airport outfits proved her talent for turning travel into a runway moment, her style has only evolved since then—blending classic glamour with modern edge in the years that followed.
