Paris Hilton Stuns Onlookers As A Brunette

Blonde socialite Paris Hilton turned heads at the recent US Weekly magazines LA bash this week.

But it turned out that the brunette locks were actually a wig that the It girl turned actress had to wear for shooting scenes in a new movie she was in.

The Simple Life star was among a crowd of new comers at the Hot Young Hollywood Style Awards, honouring the the best new talents in showbiz.

Newlyweds star Jessica Simpson was the host of the event, while Hilton, Tara Reid, Jessica Alba and singer Fergie graced the red carpet.

Ms Hilton looking somewhat unfamiliar in her brunette wig and low-cut yellow gown, recieved an award for Trendsetter of the Year.

Hilton also announced Rod Stewarts daughter Kimberly, would replace Nicole Richie in the next season of The Simple Life, which begins production in May.

After reported arguements between Richie and Hilton, the former decided she would leave the show and persue a singing career and Paris Hilton has decided the time was right to freshen the fourth series up.
