In celebration of Pride Month, Absolut has partnered with cultural icon Paris Hilton to raise awareness and show support for the LGBTQIA+ community at WeHo Pride and the OUTLOUD Music Festival. As Absolut’s official Partner-in-Cosmo, Hilton made a notable appearance in the Absolut PRIDE Moke, signaling the start of a summer-long campaign dedicated to inclusion, self-expression, and community celebration.
Building on the success of her recent performance at Coachella’s Absolut House of Cosmo, where she debuted her Infinite Icon Remix EP, Hilton reunites with the brand to further amplify Absolut’s 'Born to Mix' ethos. This initiative combines music, culture, and advocacy by raising a glass—specifically the 'Absolut Sliving Cosmo,' at key Pride events.
Throughout the season, Absolut and Hilton will continue to engage with LGBTQIA+ communities at World Pride and beyond, using cocktails, music, and shared experiences to honor diversity and foster connection.
