Nicky Hilton brought breezy summer style to this year’s Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic.
Hilton arrived to the event at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey on Saturday afternoon, wearing a lightweight white midi dress. The FNAA-winning star’s outfit featured a sleeveless silhouette with a sweetheart neckline, buttoned bodice and peplum waist, all covered in a pattern of dusky deep red and tonal blue printed stripes. Hilton opted to accessorize her outfit with a woven straw hat and silver watch, allowing its prints to take center stage.
The “Paris in Love” star also complemented her attire with Hermès’ viral “Picnic” Kelly handbag — a summer iteration of the luxury brand’s brown leather Kelly bag, featuring a woven base whimsically mimicking a picnic basket.
When it came to footwear, Hilton strapped into a pair of espadrille wedges to finish her outfit. The French Sole designer’s style featured pale cream canvas across a set of closed toes, as well as wide straps that wrapped around her ankles for added security. The pair was complete with its titular signature: a set of raised woven raffia soles with connected heels that formed a thick “wedge”-shaped base, totaling at least 3 inches in height to provide Hilton with a subtle summer height boost.
The Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic celebrated the start of summer with a polo match at Liberty State Park. Sponsored by Veuve Clicquot champagne, the 2023 event featured lawn picnics and Veuve-themed VIP tents. The occasion also drew a range of celebrity guests, including Emma Stone, Nicky Hilton, Gayle King, Lara Eurdolian, Patrick Janelle, Danai Gurira and Simone Ashley.
