The Spin

Paris framed the event as a magical family moment, captioning her Instagram post 'My life is a fairytale, and the magic never ends' to highlight the wholesome, fairytale aesthetic of the Reum family unit.

The Tea

While the final photos are polished, behind-the-scenes footage revealed the chaotic reality of managing toddlers in costume. Phoenix’s delighted screams and London’s awe-struck expression showed that the 'magic' was largely driven by toddler unpredictability rather than Disney perfection.

The Receipts

Paris wore a brunette wig and a voluminous tiered yellow gown with red roses. Husband Carter Reum wore a furry Beast mask and paws. Son Phoenix (3) dressed as Lumière, and daughter London (2) as Chip. The shoot took place at their home in front of a red curtain backdrop.

The Last Byte

Paris Hilton proves she never skips a beat—or a ballgown—even if it means wrangling two toddlers into Disney characters. The receipts are adorable, but the effort is real.

Paris Hilton didn’t just participate in Halloween; she orchestrated a full-blown Disney production at her own home. The heiress took to Instagram to debut her family’s “Beauty and the Beast” costumes, with Paris herself transforming into Belle. To achieve the iconic look, Hilton ditched her signature blonde for a brunette wig and slipped into a voluminous, tiered yellow ballgown featuring intricate lace embroidery and red roses.

The ensemble was completed with matching opera gloves, a yellow lace choker, and dazzling rings, cementing her status as the undisputed queen of elaborate holiday dressing. Husband Carter Reum matched the energy by donning a furry Beast mask and paws, completing the couple’s transformation into the fairy tale’s central duo. But the real stars of the show were their children.

Three-year-old Phoenix Reum took on the role of Lumière, the candlestick, while two-year-old London Reum dressed as Chip, the teacup. The family posed in front of a red curtain backdrop for a professional-looking photoshoot, with Paris captioning the post, “My life is a fairytale, and the magic never ends 💛👑🌹🕯️✨,” signaling a desire to project an image of endless enchantment. However, tea-rex knows that no Instagram grid is complete without the behind-the-scenes chaos, and Paris was gracious enough to share the unfiltered reality.

In footage from the shoot, Phoenix was captured screaming in delight upon seeing his mother in the Belle costume, while London appeared equally awestruck. The toddler antics continued as Phoenix attempted to sneak under the hoop skirt of Paris’s gown. “The reality of a Halloween shoot with two toddlers,” Hilton joked in the caption, acknowledging the gap between the polished final image and the chaotic process required to capture it.

This isn’t the first time Hilton has gone all-in on a cinematic costume. Just last week, she paid homage to her longtime friend Britney Spears by recreating the pop star’s legendary 2001 MTV Video Music Awards look, complete with a yellow snake draped around her neck. Hilton has a history of honoring Spears, having previously dressed as the singer in the “…Baby One More Time” schoolgirl uniform, the “Oops!… I Did It Again” catsuit, and the “Toxic” music video. Whether she’s channeling Britney or Belle, one thing is certain: Paris Hilton treats every holiday like a red-carpet event, and she expects her family to be camera-ready even if it means wrangling toddlers in candlestick costumes.
