Paris Hilton arrived at Congress to advocate for reforms in youth treatment facilities, making a statement both in her cause and her fashion.
At the congressional hearing focused on foster care and youth rehabilitation reforms, she turned heads in a baby blue lace tweed midi dress. The ensemble featured intricate details, including short sleeves, a white collar, square pockets at the waist, and a slim belt accentuating her waistline. Completing her look were white Valentino stud heels and a pale blue Chanel chain purse.

Her blonde locks cascaded in waves in a middle part, and her makeup was kept light with glossy lips.
The mother of two has been vocal about the traumatic experiences she faced at four different youth facilities during her teenage years. Last Wednesday, Hilton testified before federal lawmakers about the horrifying abuse she endured in what is commonly known as the "troubled teen" industry.
"These programs promised healing, growth, and support, but instead, they did not allow me to speak, move freely or even look out a window for two years," she testified before the House Ways and Means Committee.

She continued, "I was force fed medications and sexually abused by the staff. I was violently restrained and dragged down hallways, stripped naked and thrown into solitary confinement."
Despite being the daughter of Rick Hilton, the grandson of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad N. Hilton, and Kathy Hilton, who began as a child actress before branching into fashion design, the DJ stated that her parents were "completely deceived" about the treatment she was receiving.
