Abstract: This work examines what it has been and continues to be like for Paris Whitney Hilton to be an ordinary person as well as public figure in the entertainment industry and corporate sector. Our exploration uses qualitative methods of narrative approaches in the form of biographical studies. Participants as data sources were selected using a purposive sampling technique which was collected based on retrospective interviewing techniques and then checked for validity and reliability using external audit. It gained that this work highlights the occurrence and complexities of erotic capital in Paris Hilton’s career and discusses the important implications of use her erotic capital to influence others or gain desired ends. It gained that Paris Hilton not only use her erotic capital, but also cultural and social capital to improving her performances as a great entertainer. In so doing, the findings highlight a need for rethinking traditional conceptualizations of empowerment whereby resistance equals empowering and reproduction equals disempowering, and initiates a new direction for feminist scholarship in this regard.
