The iconic alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet hosted its annual pride event on June 13. The grand event featured a special live performance by another icon, Paris Hilton.

While many VIPs wore alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet looks, Hilton performed in a custom alice + olivia rainbow dress embellished with heat set crystals, a sweetheart neck, and a flouncy mini skirt. Her sister, Nicky Hilton Rosthschild, wore a custom alice + olivia pink embellished mini dress.
Guests were lavishly treated to glitter makeovers by Half Magic, customized pink concert bags, try their luck at the prize-filled claw machine, and receive “Sliving Bucks” to cash in at the swag shop for Big Feelings (alice+olivia) and Paris music merch, perfume and more.
Capricious attendees danced the night away to the tunes of DJ Ty Sunderland, as well as dined on delicious items from Shake Shack’s signature menu including ShackBurgers, Veggie Shacks, Chicken Shacks, and pink strawberry shakes. Serafina’s margherita pizza out of mini rainbow boxes, bagels by PopUp Bagels served from a custom pink stand, and sipped Absolut Sliving Cosmos from the new Absolut x Paris Hilton Cosmo Collection were also enjoyed.
In honor of the night, Paris Hilton’s 11:11 Media Impact established a $50,000 Sliving Fund dedicated to granting life-changing wishes to the LGBTQ+ community. The first initiative benefitted the Los Angeles LGBT Center and future grants will support LGBTQ+ direct service programs in NYC and around the country.
