“It became my uniform,” Hilton said. “I have an entire closet that’s only Juicy Couture. That’s where I go in every single day and just put on my juice…I think [the owners] loved that I was kind of like the face of the brand.”
The tracksuit trend picked up even more momentum when Hilton landed a riches-to-rags-style reality show with longtime friend,Nicole Richie, calledThe Simple Life.“Juicy is something that we wore almost every single day because we are always having to do these jobs,” she said. “You know, we didn’t wanna just like be in overalls or jeans. We wanted to be comfortable and cute.”

And A-list stars followed her lead — everyone fromJennifer LopeztoBritney Spearsstarted wearing the ultra-girly brand, dressed down to run errands or dressed up for live performances.
When people think back on 2000’s fashion, the first thing they’re gonna think about is Juicy Couture,” Hilton said. “I’ve never stopped wearing it, and I never will, because I’m a Juicy girl for life.”

During the five-minuteVogueinterview, the star also revealed thather signature catchphrase — “That’s hot” — was actually stolenfrom younger sister,Nicky Hilton Rothschild.
“I started making shirts that said, ‘That’s hot,’ and on the back they said, ‘You’re not.’ It was cute,” she recalled. “‘That’s hot’ was something that my sister always used to say, but I trademarked it and I own it. Sorry, Nicky.”
