More and more frequently, Paris Hilton uses her real voice. It is not that that chewy tone with which she became famous is not hers. Yes it is, but it is quite imposed. At 42 years old (she was born in 1981, as Tamara Falcó) Paris no longer has any qualms about admitting what we did not always know: that there was a lot of conscious construction in the Paris that, with 20 years, became one of the most famous women in the world. Accompanied first by her sister Nicki and then, successively, by (the now very formal) Nicole Richie and Kim Kardashian, Paris billed barbarities for being herself. Or rather: for being the Paris we wanted it to be.

Now he is able to make the double mailbox with his public image. He was one of the stars of Mugler's last runway, at Paris Fashion Week. When I saw the parade I doubted that it was really Paris and not Alexis Stone, great drag queen famous for imitating great divas in an extraordinary way. If a few months ago she went characterized as Jessica Lange to the Balenciaga show, why would she not parade for Mugler converted into Paris Hilton. But then, in that same show, we got to see Angela Basset and, since imitating the Basset is a utopia, I assumed that the Paris of the Paris catwalk was also the real Paris.

Hilton is not exactly a shiny mannequin, but what does it matter how she walks (badly) if the next day everyone is going to talk about her (good). His once very close friend Kim was seen in the presentation of Balenciaga. The show unfolded to the rhythm of a memorable soundtrack: a piece of music that evolved from chamber music to Berlin techno while, above it, Isabelle Huppert's voice recited the instructions for pattern making and sewing a jacket. Huppert began declaiming with serenity and elegance and ended up shouting so that the sound stridency did not crush her. Wonderful. And a good metaphor: shouting to get attention because, no matter how star you are, you either get them to listen to you or you're screwed.
Paris Hilton did it when the competition wasn't so wild. For a few years it was La Famosa par excellence. And she made so much money that she has apparently never taken a bad time that her assistant, a certain Kim Kardashian, far surpassed her. Her silly voice was just that: a voice.
