Paris Hilton just dropped the ultimate Y2K throwback and fans (myself included) are here for it.
The media personality and businesswoman recently shared a super iconic photo on Instagram that instantly transported fans back to the golden age of tabloids and paparazzi frenzy. The picture in question? A paparazzi shot from November 2006 featuring Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan all piled into a car together, looking like the definition of “it girls.”
Hilton is behind the wheel, while Spears and Lohan sit in the passenger seat, flashing their biggest smiles. The image is a snapshot of a moment that came to define an entire era of pop culture—and nearly two decades later, it still feels like the ultimate throwback.
However, (maybe due to that time difference) I noticed something striking about the trio: They look so genuinely happy. It’s not just joy or contentment—it seems like that real, carefree happiness we all try to hold onto once life, family and adulting start throwing curveballs.
