The [Paris Hilton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razr-plus-1) GQ Russia photoshoot features six shots of the stunning heiress and socialite. Surprisingly free from drama lately, Paris Hilton shows that she has the modeling chops to backup her huge personal brand power.

The Paris Hilton GQ Russia photoshoot was photographed by well-known photographer Ellen von Unwerth. With no other theme than Paris Hilton herself, the photoshoot sees Miss Hilton in a variety of positions you would expect her to be in: lying on a bed, kneeling on a bed and being carried down a beach. She even goes [topless for the magazine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela), though everything is covered up (she’s classy).

With Russian running up and down the pages, the only thing to focus your eyes on is the beautiful heiress (unless you read Russian, that is).
