Paris Hilton, Rita Ora, and Cara Delevingne are soaring into Pride Month with unapologetic glamor, allyship, and celebration. En route to the World Pride Music Festival, the trio turned a private jet into a rainbow-drenched pre-party—setting the tone for one of the year’s biggest LGBTQ+ events.
Jet-setting with pride
Paris Hilton has never been one to make an entrance quietly and for Pride Month 2025, she didn’t disappoint. On June 5, Hilton, 44, boarded a private jet bound for Washington, D.C., with none other than pop star Rita Ora and model-actor Cara Delevingne by her side. Their destination: the World Pride Music Festival, an event that marks the beating heart of global LGBTQ+ celebration.
Documenting the vibrant journey via Instagram Stories, Hilton offered followers a front-row seat to her rainbow-themed travel experience. One of her earliest posts showed the trio strutting together to the tune of Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman,” captioned with the rallying cry: “Let’s go girls,” alongside emoji flags representing the LGBTQ+ and transgender communities. It was a fitting soundtrack for a weekend that would blend performance, protest, and pride.
Style, sparkle and solidarity
In classic Hilton fashion, the jet wasn’t just transportation—it was a runway, a club, and a celebration all in one. The heiress wore a bubblegum-pink Barbie-logo tee with flared pants, fully leaning into Y2K pop glam. Rita Ora embraced a bold, sporty vibe with a cropped tee that read “girls are the coolest,” while Cara Delevingne channeled edgy cool in an oversized cheetah-print shirt and black pants.
Inside the jet, fans were treated to a visual feast: pink champagne glasses, fluffy robes, and satin sleep masks adorned the cabin, alongside rainbow roses and pride flags. The aesthetic struck a balance between playfulness and purpose, reminding followers that Pride isn’t just about parties—it’s about visibility, joy, and support. “Safe to say Sliv Air did not disappoint,” Hilton wrote, referencing her signature “sliving” catchphrase (a mashup of “slaying” and “living”), as Ora gleefully reacted to the jet’s over-the-top decor.
This wasn’t just a girls’ trip—it was a glittering gesture of allyship, amplified by three of pop culture’s most recognizable names.
A festival that matters
Their arrival kicks off the World Pride Music Festival, held June 6–7 in partnership with Capital Pride. Hosted in Washington, D.C., this year’s event is a landmark moment for LGBTQ+ representation and performance, featuring an all-star lineup that includes Jennifer Lopez, Troye Sivan, Kim Petras, Zedd, Reneé Rapp, Marina, Tinashe, RuPaul and many more.
Both Hilton and Ora are set to perform on the festival’s opening night. Hilton, now an established DJ on the global circuit, has used her sets as platforms for celebration and inclusivity. Earlier this year, she brought her beats to Demi Lovato’s private wedding celebration—an event that Vogue described as electrifying. “Paris literally shook the dance floor with her DJ skills,” Lovato told the magazine in May.
Hilton’s presence at Pride isn’t just performative. She has repeatedly emphasized her commitment to LGBTQ+ rights and visibility. In a 2023 interview with PEOPLE, Hilton reflected on her evolving role as an ally. “I will continue to use my platform to speak out and spread love, tolerance, acceptance, and support,” she said. That year, she headlined Dreamland Pride in New York City’s Central Park.
Pride, platform and purpose
What separates Paris Hilton from the wave of celebrity allies is her consistency. For years, she’s been using her influence not only for entertainment but for advocacy. From supporting anti-bullying campaigns to participating in equality marches and charity benefits, Hilton’s dedication is more than surface-level.
She’s also become a beacon of joy in a world that often politicizes LGBTQ+ identity. Her brand of empowerment is rooted in fun, freedom, and fashion—but always grounded in respect. And with friends like Rita Ora and Cara Delevingne—both longtime supporters of LGBTQ+ rights—the trio becomes more than tabloid fodder; they’re a visual reminder of how far pop culture has come in embracing pride as both celebration and statement.
Cara Delevingne, who has long identified as part of the queer community, has spoken openly about fluidity, visibility, and the importance of representation. Ora, too, has leaned into LGBTQ+ themes in her music and videos and has been vocal in her support of inclusivity.
Together, their presence at World Pride isn’t just symbolic, it’s intentional.
A legacy of love
As the music pulses through the nation’s capital this weekend, it’s easy to get swept up in the colors, the sound, and the spectacle. But Pride has always been rooted in resistance, from the Stonewall riots of 1969 to ongoing battles for trans rights and global equality. Celebrities like Paris Hilton bring needed visibility—but more importantly, they remind the world that Pride is both a party and a platform.
Their posts, outfits, and glamor might steal headlines, but their messages of support, love, and acceptance are what truly resonate. For Hilton, who has redefined her public persona from reality TV icon to entrepreneur, mother, and activist, Pride Month offers yet another opportunity to show what “sliving” really means: living authentically, loving freely, and lifting others up along the way.
World Pride Music Festival 2025 promises to be more than a celebration—it’s a statement of unity. And with Paris Hilton, Rita Ora, and Cara Delevingne leading the way, it’s safe to say Pride is off to a powerful, glamorous start.
