17 Outfits From 'The Simple Life' That Are So Outdated It Hurts

There is nothing more early 2000s than Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie on The Simple Life. Not only were they two of the most popular socialite celebrities of the day, but they also wore some of the most 2000s clothing items available. Some of the outfits from The Simple Life are so outdated, it hurts. And the last season filmed in 2007, aka only a decade ago. That's not that long ago.

I wouldn't say that Hilton and Richie were style icons back in the day, but they were definitely icons and they definitely participated in the fads. Hilton was literally made for all of the trends in the early 2000s. She could wear them now and no one would even bat an eye because they just look so right on her. However, Richie was definitely still figuring out her personal style while filming The Simple Life, and now she's become a bonafide style icon.

From low rise jeans and UGG boots to mini skirts and Von Dutch hats, Hilton and Richie really leaned into the early 2000s and totally nailed it.
