At the Valentino Spring/Summer 2015 runway show during Paris Fashion Week in Paris on September 30, 2014, Paris Hilton and her younger sister, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, embraced coordinated color blocking in sharply tailored Valentino looks, finishing the bold palette with sleek black pumps that kept the styling polished and balanced.

Born in New York on February 17, 1981, Paris Hilton is two and a half years older than her younger sister, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, who was born on October 5, 1983.

The sisters also share nearly identical statuesque proportions: Paris stands 5-foot-7 (170.2 cm) and wears a US shoe size 11, while Nicky, also 5-foot-7 (170.2 cm), wears a slightly smaller US shoe size 10.5.

Rather than competing for attention, the sisters styled their outfits with a similar fashion rhythm: structured silhouettes, saturated jewel tones, and minimal accessories that kept the focus on the clean lines of the clothing and the leg-lengthening effect of their pointed-toe heels.

Paris wore a green Valentino mini dress beneath a crisp white coat, styling the look with a rainbow “Va Va Voom” studded clutch and black suede Alaïa pumps, while Nicky contrasted Valentino’s signature scarlet-red dress with a sculptural blue cape and coordinating clutch for a sharper, runway-inspired take on colorblocking.

The shared styling approach made the outfits feel cohesive without looking identical.

The black pumps were an important part of why the colorblocking worked. With so many strong tones competing visually, the simple closed-toe heels helped balance the outfits and kept the overall styling polished instead of overwhelming.

We love the sisters’ structured styling, and although the duo was doing the “twinsies” look, both blondes looked simply gorgeous.

Colorblocking can be intimidating, and the color mixes can be overwhelming. However, when done right, it’s stunning. Take your cue from the Hilton sisters. Because of the mix of strong and solid colors, the fab duo looked very fresh and stood out effortlessly.
