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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolut-empires-ball) 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.
