Paris Hilton takes the plunge in eye-popping outfit as she leads star parade at first US TikTok Awards

Paris Hilton was a sizzling sensation when she hit the red carpet at the Hollywood Palladium on Thursday for the first ever US TikTok Awards.

The 44-year-old joined a cavalcade of celebrities pouring into the venue from the event, where newer stars mingled with establishment names.

Hilton, a showbiz sensation for decades, was being feted that night as Muse of the Year - and made sure to give TikTok users plenty of inspiration.

She served up a generous helping of cleavage in a sizzling red and black ensemble that brought back vague memories of a circus ringmaster.

Her asymmetric skirt was cut high enough to flaunt her statuesque legs as she strutted her stuff on a set of towering black stilettos.

Dripping with frills and sequins, her showgirl chic ensemble included a set of long black opera gloves and matching sheer tights for added saucy effect.

Hilton sharpened her unmistakable features with makeup for her latest night out, letting her trademark blonde locks cascade freely down in elegant waves.

She was part of a formidable star parade that evening including Love Island USA heartthrob Jeremiah Brown, who won Rising Star of the Year. 

Brown was a smoldering sensation in a structured white jacket over matching trousers, teamed with a low-cut black t-shirt and gleaming dress shoes.

Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles hit the red carpet with her Dancing with the Stars partner Ezra Sosa, with whom she made it to third place this past season. 

The star-studded lineup on the red carpet included a besuited Cedric the Entertainer, wearing his signature hat and cheerfully flashing a peace sign.

He was as fashionably attired as ever, teaming a green and black pinstriped jacket over basic black and accessorizing with a necklace. 

Queer Eye star Tan France also made his presence felt at the event, decked out in a maroon suit accessorized with a metal feather brooch.

Travis Barker's 22-year-old 'nepo baby' Landon Barker - the stepson of Kourtney Kardashian - posed on the arm of his girlfriend Skyla Sanders.

Skyla is the daughter of Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, who set off a scandal when he was seen kissing the film's leading lady Kristen Stewart while he was married and she was dating Robert Pattinson.

Meanwhile Skyla's mother Liberty Ross, whom her father was married to during the Kristen Stewart kiss, is a famous English model and now married to Jimmy Iovine.

Former The Bachelor lead Joey Graziadei wore several top buttons beguilingly undone over his chest while wearing green to complement the dress worn by his fiancée Kelsey Anderson, the winner of his season of the ABC reality series.

Beauty influencer Stormi Steele looked redolent of the 1980s in a sparkling mini-dress that was layered underneath a short black fur jacket.

Rei Ami, a voice star of this year's Netflix sensation KPop Demon Hunters, cut a sultry figure in a geometric black leather dress. 

RuPaul's Drag Race alum Trixie Mattel modeled a gown done in the pattern of a TV test screen, flanked by men in masks made to resemble TVs with test screens.

She got in a bit of mingling with trans TikTok influencer Jools Lebron, who coined the phrase 'very demure, very mindful' that went explosively viral all over social media.

Controversial makeup influencer James Charles was also on hand for the event, while Ashby Florence made a splash in a red dress that read: 'I [heart] ASHBY.'
