Stars — they’re just like Us! Nicky Hilton Rothschild’s luxurious life may have been splashed everywhere in the 2000s, but she has all of the same ‘90s faves as we do.
“My celebrity crush growing up was Rider Strong from Boy Meets World,” the fashion designer, 39, exclusively tells Us Weekly, revealing her childhood idolization of “all of the ’90s supermodels,” including Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford.
“They were cool and glamorous,” she gushes. As for her “most starstruck moment”? Rothschild and her older sister, Paris Hilton, may have mingled with countless A-listers over the years, but Rothschild’s most awe-inspiring encounter with another celebrity was “meeting the original cast of Beverly Hills, 90210,” she tells Us.
In the years since her childhood — and the days of partying alongside her sister, 42, Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan and more in the 2000s — Nicky married James Rothschild in 2015 and welcomed daughters Lily-Grace, 6, and Teddy, 5, and a son, 11 months. While she may have settled down, the Hilton hotel heiress’ life is just as glamorous.
“On Saturday nights, I’ll be at my country house in a cozy robe by the fire with my family,” she tells Us, explaining how she and her daughters enjoy “baking cupcakes” and “playing Scrabble” the following afternoon.
At the end of the day, Nicky has the perfect wind-down regimen.
“I decompress after a long day with a hot bath, aimlessly scrolling the internet or Netflix,” she shares.
