Kathy Hilton literally helped birth reality television. Her daughter Paris Hilton, star of the landmark unscripted series “The Simple Life” from 2003 to 2008, came to define an era of tabloid celebrity culture and über-wealthy voyeurism.
But did we ever really know Kathy Hilton? Thanks to genius casting on the 11th season of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” the American society matriarch has come to vivid life.
Social media superlatives have been plentiful. “Icon,” “effortlessly funny,” “national treasure,” “basically Moira from ‘Schitt’s Creek’ in real life,” fans have tweeted. Longtime viewers of the series, on which Hilton’s sisters Kim and Kyle Richards rose to contemporary fame, have responded to her persona: part daffy aunt whose screwball antics lighten up a show rife with white-collar crime and wine throwing, part bad-girl-at-the-sleepover who convinces ladies to take martinis to the head.

Now that is the adorable Emma Roberts we knew and loved. We're pleased to see that the whole "future bride" thing is going straight to her closet, although the Palo Alto star should have saved this Catherine Malandrino combo for her bachelorette party on a tropical island. These sexy separates are the perfect mix of party girl meets sophisticated soon-to-be-wife. But more importantly, they're the perfect reprieve from some recent grungy get-ups. Remember the future Mrs. Evan Peters in this mess? That too was a Style 180! but of the not-so-positive variety. We're pleased that this fair-skinned beauty is done with the Kristen Stewart impersonations and back to dressing like the starlet she was born...
