Our fashion nostalgia has reached peak nineties in these first few months of 2019, what with bucket hats, fluffy mules and the Fendi baguette all extending dates on their comeback tour.

And if there's anyone who took 90s and 00s fashion to its fullest extreme, it was definitely hotel industry rich kid, turned regular-party-goer Paris Hilton.

We might have found a few of her nineties outfits a touch gauche at the time, but looking back at the 38-year-old socialite's wardrobe, any number of her get-ups would be considered a bonafide 'look' if she wore them today.

Let's throwback to a couple of Paris Hilton's earliest fashion moments that would totally be a look in 2019:

The Zebra Dress - 1990

We recently wrote about zebra dress renaissance, with ASOS (among others) releasing sell-out styles for this summer in the bold print.

For a while, leopard print reined supreme, but the little monochrome horse is threatening to steal the leopard's lead when it comes to being this season's hottest pattern.

The Fendi - 1990

Fendi's little shoulder bags have become synonymous with 90s style and were sported by every Beverly Hills socialite worth her mettle. And now that they've re-released their baguette - made famous mostly by Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw - they're back on the arm of every influencer you can think of.

The Leopard Print Slip Skirt - 1997

Literally, does anyone NOT own a leopard print slip skirt these days? With Realisation Par taking the item stratospheric, most other high street brands - including an extremely popular & Other Stories version - produced their own.

The Bucket Hat - 2000

Bucket hats are back, folks. Don't believe us? Just ask Maria Grazia Chiuri, who sent them down the catwalk in various colours and guises at the most recent Dior show.

But Paris Hilton was repping the bucket hat way back in 2000, don't you know.

The Yellow Prairie Dress - 2001

The nineties and noughties weren't all about the slip dress. Sometimes these little puff-sleeved prairie-style dresses reared their heads too. Part milk-maid, part high-school teen, they were ideal for pairing with a little strappy sandal, while chewing on a fluffy-ended pen.

The Velvet Top Handle Bag - 2001

Backpacks and bum bags might have enjoyed their time in the spotlight, but little top-handle granny bags are definitely back on top when it comes to dressing for an evening event.

From Staud to Gucci, everyone's using velvet and pastel colours make it ok to do velvet in the spring, so thanks Paris for showing us how it's done.
