The celebrity heiress and DJ, who recently became Absolut's official 'Partner-in-Cosmo,' surprised attendees with a special DJ set previewing tracks from her forthcoming Infinite Icon Remix EP while serving her signature 'Sliving Cosmo' cocktail. Paris Hilton's appearance at the House of Cosmo gained additional star power through an unannounced cameo by hip-hop icon Too Short. The [immersive brand experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfexpression-festival-activations) featured a carefully curated guest list, including comedian Matt Rogers, reality stars Scheana Shay and Blake Horstmann, actress Emma Roberts, and influencers Dylan Mulvaney and Tefi Pessoa, among others.
