Barbie would be proud: Wearing big white-rimmed sunglasses, Paris Hilton parks her pink Bentley and heads inside her LA mansion clutching her tiny pet dogs
She is often compared to the doll with her long blonde hair, slim figure, extensive wardrobe and her love of pink.
And if we ever suspected that Paris Hilton secretly wanted to be Barbie, then this pictures are all the proof we needed.
The hotel heiress was snapped arriving back at her Beverly Hills home and looked every inch like the little girl's doll with her long blonde hair, bling and bright pink car.
Paris, who turns 30 next month, returned from a day out in Los Angeles, clutching her pet Chihuahuas Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.
She wore skinny blue jeans - ripped on purpose, naturally - towering platform heels, huge white-rimmed sunglasses and a grey top held together with a big black belt.
She'd even blinged up Tinkerbell who wore a pin-striped top and a diamante collar.
Blinging blonde: Paris checks that her pink car is ok as she heads into the house flashing her designer clothes and jewellery
But it was the pink Bentley Continental GT. that really stood out as the ultimate Barbie accessory.
Paris treated herself to the $200,000 (£135,000) vehicle as a Christmas present in 2008.
The cherry blossom pink is also on the sheet metal, grille, hubcaps and most of the interior while her initials in diamonds - pink, of course, adorn the seats and the bonnet.
She could be sold in a box: Paris is the spitting image of the iconic little girls' doll as she posed for the cameras at the NBC press party tour in Pasadena on Thursday
Paris looked even more like her plastic idol last Thursday when she attended the NBC Universal 2011 Winter TCA Press Tour All-Star Party in Pasadena, California.
Her long, platinum blonde hair cascaded around her heavily made-up face as she posed for the cameras on arrival.
She was at the event to promote her new reality TV show, The World According To Paris, which airs in the spring.
Reality stars: Paris and friend Brooke Mueller go shopping last week and are filmed for their new show The World According To Paris
She will star in the show, which will follow her life around the clock, alongside her mother Kathy and her friend, Charlie Sheen's estranged wife Brooke Mueller.
Paris told the NBC event: '"The World According to Paris" is all about my life, all about my friends and everything crazy that happens, so I’m very excited and I cannot wait.'
She also spoke about her boyfriend Cy Waits and said: 'I’m so happy, he’s an amazing man, I feel very lucky.'
'Very lucky': Paris and her boyfriend Cy Waits - who she said is 'amazing' - go shopping in Beverly Hills on Wednesday

Miss America 2011: Contestants gear up for tonight's big show... with a traditional shoe parade

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Who will win? Miss Nebraska, Teresa Scanlan, left, followed by Miss Nevada Cris Crotz and Miss New Hampshire, Krystal Lee Muccioli walk in the Show Us Your Shoes parade as part of this week's Miss America festivities
You might think the Miss America contestants would spend the night before their big day anxiously rehearsing their lines and practising their walks.
Instead the girls took part in a quirky parade that has become an integral part of the pageant, parading down the Las Vegas Strip ahead of tonight's nationally televised pageant.
Dressed to represent their home states, the 53 contestants were taking part in the traditional shoe parade.
The event was a nod to the pageant's beginnings in Atlantic City, New Jersey, when an annual procession on the boardwalk spawned a tradition.
back then in the 1920s spectators would shout at contestants riding past in open-topped cars, asking them to show their shoes.
They hoped to embarrass the women, because they wore elaborate dresses but casual shoes since nobody would see their feet.
The girls eventually responded by displaying decorated footwear, and shoes eventually became the highlight of their outfits.
Wannabes: The 53 girls from all over the U.S. pose together ahead of tonight's ceremony
In Las Vegas, the girls held their handcrafted shoes aloft for a crowd of about 3,500.
Many shoes this year would have been unwearable as decorated.
Dressed as Marilyn Monroe, 19-year-old Miss California Arianna Afsar showed off a high heel decorated as the famed Hollywood sign, then belted out: Happy birthday, Miss America, to celebrate the pageant's 90th birthday.
'My shoe represents the glitz and glam of Hollywood, and I'd like to thank my mom for spending so much time to make this shoe,' Afsar told the crowd.
Hometown girls: Miss Delaware Kayla Martell and Miss Louisiana Kelsi Crain strut their stuff
Miss Connecticut Brittany Decker, 21, displayed a high heel with a basketball hoop and ESPN written on the backboard in homage to the University of Connecticut and the home of the cable sports network.
While 24-year-old Miss Alaska Abby Hancock held a high heel turned Christmas sleigh, telling master of ceremonies Robin Leach: 'Santa lives in Alaska.'
Miss Louisiana Kelsi Crain, 20, said she thought about going with a New Orleans Saints theme but was happy she stuck with Mardi Gras.
'We've coined the phrase "Bon temps rouler" for "Let the good times roll,"' she said.
'Now the Louisiana delegation is just here to share a little taste of what a Mardi Gras celebration is like.'
Only in Vegas: the girls paraded down the Strip, as a crowd of holidaymakers gathered to watch
Crain, a kinesiology student from the University of Louisiana-Monroe, said she was at first surprised when she learned the pageant queens would be showing the shoes instead of wearing them..
'We had to order two pairs of shoes, one that we could wear and then one that we had to decorate, so now I just have a spare shoe sitting at home,' she said.
The Miss America pageant takes place tonight in Las Vegas. It is screened on ABC at 9pm EST.

'I love you sooo much!' Una Healy puckers up with Vanessa White after tumbling out of Frankie's 22nd birthday bash
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wybLBRV1hnMendofvid

By SARAH FITZMAURICE
Undignified exit: Una Healy emerged from Frankie Sanford's birthday party at China Whites looking worse for wear and attempted to give Vanessa a kiss
At 29-years-old she is the oldest member of The Saturdays and she should know better.
But Una Healey seemed to be the ringleader last night and was looking extremely worse for wear as she emerged from Frankie Sandford’s birthday party at Chinawhite nightclub last night.
Dressed in a short black strapless dress with an embellished neckline, the Irish singer couldn’t keep her footing as she left the London hot spot.
The effects of the night were clearly visible as Una lost her battle with gravity and fell back right on to her bottom on the floor.
Una managed to push herself back up off the entrance rug and attempted to keep her balance in her sky-high black heels.
Luckily her trusty boyfriend, Ben Foden was on hand to help his lady as she staggered out of the club and managed to negotiate her entry into the taxi, where band mate Vanessa was waiting.
Support: Una was helped out of the club by boyfriend Ben Foden and the singer steadied herself on him
Helping hand: Ben supported an unsteady Una as she made her way out of the club and into a taxi home
The 21-year-old accepted Una into her open arms and pulled her into the taxi steadying the singer.
And it seemed that Una was eager to thank Vanessa in her own special way, with a big kiss.
Miss Healy, whose fake eyelashes appeared to be slipping from her eyelid, grabbed Vanessa’s head and pulled it towards her own face and Vanessa giggled at her bandmate’s sudden show of affection.
Pick yourself back up: Una manages to find her balance and got up off the floor before her boyfriend came to her rescue
The singer emerged looking relatively fresh-faced this morning as her and the other band mates headed to rehearsals.
And it wasn’t just Una who appeared to have a good night last night and the birthday girl appeared to be in high spirits too.
Frankie, who turned 22 yesterday was looking stunning in a printed nude and purple shift dress teamed with a pair of nude open-toe patent heels.
Birthday Girl: The Saturdays were out celebrating Frankie Sandford's 22nd Birthday at London hotspot Chinawhite
High spirits: Frankie seemed to have had a good night and she laughed and joked with her friends in the taxi on her way home
As she left the London club, a popular haunt for The Saturdays girls she giggled with a group of girlfriends in the taxi heading for home.
There was no sign of new boyfriend Manchester City footballer Wayne Bridge who is currently on loan with West Ham United.
Frankie was also joined by Rochelle Wiseman, who opted for a cut-out print prom dress which she teamed with a flash of bright red lipstick and a nude handbag.
Party time: The girls arrived looking lovely with Rochelle in a cut-out print baby doll dress and Vanessa in a ruched grey outfit with black shoe boots
Ready for a good time: Una arrived at the party with her boyfriend Ben Foden and the girls were joined by JLS member JB who helped to celebrate Frankie's birthday
Mollie King explained her absence on Twitter and said: ‘So sad I can't be at Frankie's tonight! Busted my knee in tour rehearsals so have to stay home and rest! Love u Frankster!!’
The girls have been busy rehearsing for their upcoming tour which kicks off in Liverpool on February 15.
Jonathan JB Gill from boyband JLS was also in attendance and joined in with the birthday celebrations.
But there was one Saturday who couldn’t join in on the raucous celebrations because of an injury sustained during tour rehearsals earlier in the day.
Dressed down: Una appeared relatively fresh-faced as she and Mollie walked to rehearsals together
Working hard: After Frankie's party the night before the girls hit the studio earlier today to continue with tour preparations

Don't give up the day job! Justin Bieber turns red carpet reporter at the Critics' Choice Awards... as young stars dazzle

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Master of disguise: Justin Bieber was fooling no-one in a large moustache and glasses at the Critics' Choice Awards in Hollywood on Friday
Despite his large fake moustache and big glasses, Justin Bieber wasn't fooling anyone as he made his red carpet reporting debut at the Critics' Choice Awards.
Perhaps he should have changed his distinctive brushed forward hairstyle if he was going to stay incognito.
The16-year-old Canadian-born singer wore his disguise throughout the evening as he conducted a series of celebrity interviews at the Hollywood ceremony on Friday.
Wearing a bow tie over a black shirt and jeans, the singer seemed a natural as he spoke to the likes of Tim Roth, John Legend and Elle Fanning.
'I can't believe I just got interviewed by Justin Bieber,' Elle told VH-1 on the red carpet.
At one point, the star couldn't resist showing off some of his signature dance moves as he waited for his next interview on the carpet.
He seemed to be enjoying his disguise, later tweeting: ' if u cant laugh at yourself u cant have fun.'
Intrepid: The young heart-throb seemed very focussed on his new role as he spoke to Tim Roth on the red carpet
Dancing on the job: Justin can't resist showing off some of his signature moves on the carpet
Bieber was one of several young stars who made a big impression at the ceremony, held at the Hollywood Palladium.
Elle Fanning, 12, looked every bit as glamorous as some of her older contemporaries as she dazzled in a Valentino gold number.
While 14-year-old True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld looked equally chic in a pale pink knee-length dress and gold shoes.
Steinfeld ended up picking up the Best Young Actress gong for her role in the Coen Brothers Western.

The King and Queen of Hollywood! Colin Firth and a pregnant Natalie Portman win top honours at Critics' Choice Awards

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Success: Natalie Portman was thrilled as she collected the Critics' Choice Best Actress award in Hollywood on Friday night
The Social Network takes Best Film
Natalie Portman and Colin Firth took top honours at tonight's Critics' Choice Awards in Hollywood, making them many people's favourites for the Oscars.
The actress, who won for her role in Black Swan, used her acceptance speech to thank the film's director Darren Aronofsky for introducing her to her fiance, dancer Benjamin Millepied.
'You are responsible for getting me skinny and indirectly responsible for getting me very fat, as you introduced me to my love,' she told Aronofsky on the podium, referring to the child she is expecting with Millepied.
Portman, who met Millepied when he helped choreograph the movie about a competitive and unstable ballerina, looked radiant, her burgeoning bump all too clear to see under her gorgeous long white gown.
Meanwhile, Colin Firth's win for his role as the stammering King George in The King's Speech, topped off a week which also saw him awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Blooming: Natalie looked radiant as she - and her burgeoning bump - pose with her award on the red carpet
'I will be wearing this around my neck to give me magical powers as we all enter the fray again,' he said, referring to the upcoming month of award ceremonies which carry on with the Golden Globes ceremony this Sunday.
His fellow British actor Christian Bale won The Best Supporting Actor gong for his intense performance as former boxer Dicky Ekland in The Fighter.
Oscar favourite: The actor joked that he would use his award as a lucky talisman for awards season
The star famously lost a substantial amount of weight to play the crack addicted character.
And in his acceptance speech, he dedicated the prize to Eklund, and said: 'This feels great because I feel like he's winning as well.'
Fighting win: Christian Bale paid tribute to his wife and daughter after winning tonight's Critics' Choice Best Supporting Actor Award
The Fighter also won the Cast Ensemble Award along with a gong for Melissa Leo as Best Supporting Actress.
But the film honours belonged to Facebook movie The Social Network, with West Wing scribe Aaron Sorkin also winning for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Big winners: The Social Network cast members Jesse Eisenberg, Armie Hammer and Andrew Garfield pose with screen writer Aaron Sorkin, Kevin Spacey and producers, following last night's win
The movie which stars Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake, is also one of the favourites to win Best Picture at Sunday Night's Golden Globe ceremony.
However the film's stars Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield lost out in the acting awards to Firth and Bale.
Special awards: Matt Damon was presented the Joel Siegel Award for his humanitarian work while Quentin Tarantino won for his work with music in film
Other winners included 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld for her acclaimed role in the Coen Brothers remake True Grit.
She thanked her parents as she accepted the Young Actress gong.
Special awards of the night were given to Matt Damon who was presented with the Joel Siegel Award for his humanitarian and charity work.
Never mind, honey: Jennifer Garner puts a loving hand on her husband Ben Affleck's face as he misses out on four gongs for The Town
Quentin Tarantino gave an energetic acceptance speech as he was awarded the Music+Film award, for his work with soundtrack music and film.
Those who missed out on gongs included Ben Affleck, who whose film The Town, was nominated for Best Picture, Best Acting Ensemble, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Action Movie.
But he didn't seem to mind as he cuddled up to actress wife Jennifer Garner.
What's so funny? Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban laugh at a photo or text message on his phone during the ceremony
Hilarious: Nicole and Keith carry on chuckling as their dinner is served, while Warren Beatty chats away in the background
Also attending but missed out on an accolade was Nicole Kidman, who was up for Best Actress for her role in Rabbit Hole.
And like Affleck, she didn't look too unhappy as she and husband Keith Urban laughed heartily at their table at a photo he had taken on his phone.
Proud: Natalie Portman poses with her parents Avner and Shelley Hershlag outside the event
But before the winners were rightfully crowned, the red carpet was the centre of all the buzz as the glitz and the glamour was on full display.
Colin Firth was overshadowed by his Italian wife Livia while another happy couple, Warren Beatty and Annette Bening couldn't contain their giggles as they posed for the cameras.
Happy couples: Colin Firth and wife Livia, and Annette Bening and husband Warren Beatty are all smiles on the red carpet
Showing off her usual quirky style was The King's Speech star Helena Bonham Carter, while fellow Brit Emily Blunt looked elegant in her simple but chic floor length gown.
And never ones to miss out on the spotlight, sister Kim and Klhoe Kardashian, who were there to present an award and took the opportunity to strike their best pose on arriving at the bash.
Opposites: Emily Blunt looked elegant in her floor length gown while Helena Bonham Carter showed off her typical quirky style
Reality chic: Kim Kardashian showed off her curvy figure in a bright tangerine Vera Wang fishtail dress, while her younger sister Khloe wore an animal print number with train

It may be winter in Los Angeles but Rihanna is raising temperatures.
The singer was spotted leaving the Beverly Hills hotel in a daringly short dress yesterday.
The 22-year-old braved the chilly evening dressed in a peach long sleeve frock that was cut-out at the sides, exposing her toned waist.
The low-cut back of the dress also revealed her back, where she sports a smattering of star tattoos.
She paired the simple look with a pair of Christian Louboutin stilettos.
Rihanna is known for taking a risk with her fashion choices.
Proud of her body, the Bajan singer often enjoys showing off her dangerous curves.
She has also recently sported a new sleek straightened hair do' .

Happier times: Katie and Alex looked so in love this time last year - but now she wants out the marriage and has cut him off financially
Fans have been waiting with baited breath all week for Katie Price and Alex Reid to announced their separation.
And if he has anything to do with it, then they may be waiting a little while longer.
Reports today have claimed that the cagefighter broke down in tears and refused to sign a statement declaring that the couple's marriage was over.
According to the Sun, Alex, 35, and Katie, 32, sat down together with lawyers at their Surrey mansion this week to draw up a statement announcing their separation after just 11 months.
But Reid is believed to have refused to sign before tearfully begging Katie for another chance and think about what made her fall in love with him in the first place.
A source told the paper: 'The situation is verging on the ridiculous. Everything was agreed on the wording of the statement and the separation at the weekend.
Devastated: A glum Alex Reid leaves the house he shares with wife Katie Price amid reports he refused to sign a statement declaring their split
Tearful: The gloomy wet weather matched Alex's mood as he drove away
'It was simple enough. A few lines saying the marriage hadn't worked out, they wished each other well and they wouldn't be saying anything further.
'Katie signed the papers but, when it came to Alex, he broke down and cried. He wouldn't do it. He was livid about the Amir Khan business, but wanted to prove he was the bigger man.
'He still thinks, given time, he could remind her why they fell in love in the first place. He's a broken man - he can't believe it hasn't worked out.'
No backing down: Katie refused to listen to Alex's pleas to give their marriage another chance
The couple are still living together under the same roof, and Alex was snapped leaving the house on Thursday looking glum and deep in thought.
The Sun also reported that Katie, who has three children by previous partners, former boyfriend Dwight Yorke and ex-husband Peter Andre, has cut Alex off financially - which gave him the signal that she'd left him 'high and dry'.
The source added that she has been funding his publicity but not his bills and he is now having to rely on his brother Rupert for help.
Miserable: Alex looked very down in the dumps as he trained at a gym near his home last Monday
They said: 'Katie told Alex to look after himself because she's not going to pay another penny from her fortune to support him.
'That was the big signal to him that she'd left him high and dry.'
And once he signs the legal papers, he will have to leave the Surrey mansion and move back in with his parents, who are believed to be 'devastated' that his marriage has failed.

Sienna blokes you fancy? Ms Miller takes Keira Knightley for girls' night out on the town to get over Rupert Friend split

Girls' night out: Sienna Miller takes newly-single Keira Knightley out for dinner and karaoke in London following Keira's split with Rupert Friend
She's had more than her fair share of failed love affairs - so who better to comfort broken-hearted Keira Knightley over her relationship split than old friend Sienna Miller?
Sienna, now happily engaged to Jude Law, was spotted taking Keira out for a consoling dinner of Italian food at Soho restaurant Bocca Di Lupo on Thursday night, before they headed to a nearby karaoke bar.
Keira's emotions are said to still be raw after she split with her actor boyfriend of five years, Rupert Friend, just before Christmas so a girly night out was just the tonic she needed.
Both stars were dressed down, with Keira, 25, almost covering her porcelain-skinned face with a giant grey tea-cosy hat, while wearing scruffy jeans and black boots, a stripey t-shirt and khaki-coloured overcoat.
Sienna, 29, meanwhile stuck to her usual boho-meets-rock-chick style with shorts over sheer tights, black ankle boots and a tasselled black shawl.
According to The Sun, the screen beauties let their hair down after supper with a good old sing song at Lucky Voice.
Dressed down: Keira covered up in a huge grey knitted hat and scruffy jeans and boots for a good old knees up with her friend
Apparently, their song of choice were the Pussycat Dolls' Don't Cha.
A source said: 'It was a pretty raucous affair. The girls weren't holding back at all. There were about 12 people in the group, but no diva-like antics.'
Keira's break-up followed weeks of speculation that gruelling work commitments had driven the actors apart.
Happier times: Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend have split after five years together
Keira's father William told how the Oscar nominee had thrown herself into work to cope with her heartbreak,
Speaking at the family home in Richmond, south west London this week, Mr Knightley, 64, told the Mail: ‘It wasn’t a decision that either of them took lightly. I know they gave it a great deal of thought. I don’t think there was any one thing that led to their break-up – it was a whole raft of things, I think.
‘It’s very unfortunate, but Keira is coping well and is focusing on a new West End play that she is opening. She is getting on with things. I know that she and Rupert will remain great friends.’
Keira met Rupert, 29, who she shared a flat with near Hyde Park, when they appeared together in the 2005 film version of Pride And Prejudice.
First sighting: Keira and Rupert met on set of the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. Keira played Elizabeth Bennet while Rupert played Mr Wickham
