Paris Hilton shares a throwback photo of herself with Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan

Paris Hilton reflects on one of the most iconic celebrity moments in Y2K history: the night she went out with Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.

Hilton shared a photo of all three women taken in November 2006 – 18 years ago – on Instagram with the caption: “18 years ago today, this photo became the moment that defined an era. @BritneySpears, @LindsayLohan and me – the Holy Trinity. Instantly iconic ✨ #LovesIt 💖 #Sliving #Y2K 🚙💋”

In the photo, Hilton can be seen driving her car while Lohan sits in the passenger seat and Spears is sandwiched between the two. At the time it was taken, the picture shocked fans who believed the three had been arguing.

Hilton, 43, opened up about the events that led to the iconic paparazzi snap of her, Spears, 42, and Lohan, 38, in an episode of hers This is Paris podcast that said she and Spears attended a friend’s party at the Beverly Hills Hotel and decided to leave and go home.

As they walked to their car, Lohan – who was in the middle of some “drama” with Hilton – approached them.

“Suddenly I looked over and she was in my car. We didn’t get along, so I was polite,” Hilton recalled on the podcast. “It was really hard to even get out there because I couldn’t see anything with all the cameras.”

Hilton has shared the throwback several times in recent years, including in 2019 when she recreated the image, albeit with herself, a fake “Queen Elizabeth” sitting in the right seat of the car where Lohan would have sat, and Impersonator Derrick Barry represents Spears.
