Hilton, 43, wore a matte black corset dress with a low neckline and voluminous skirt. She accessorized with opera gloves and blinged-out sunglasses and a diamond necklace. Richie, 42, went for a sleeker option — a floor-length halter dress with a sexy keyhole slit — but also wore shades like Hilton. The two took their twinning to another level with matching pageant-level buns and bold glam. They showed off their looks in front of the Saban Theatre with a sign reading "Paris & Nicole The Encore."
