Paris Hilton fans were thrilled by an iconic photo from the 2000s that the star uploaded to her main Instagram page on Wednesday to mark her 18th anniversary.

The 42-year-old TV personality, who was recently mocked for claiming she had never had plastic surgery, shared the snaps, taken in November 2006, with Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.

The memorable images were taken as Hilton sat in the driver’s seat of a vehicle as she and the pop star left a party.

Lohan, who was in the middle of a public feud with Paris at the time, suddenly showed up and jumped into the car too – which was most notably caught on camera.

The Mean Girls actress was seen in the passenger seat while the Baby One More Time singer sat in the middle.

In the throwback post’s caption, Hilton wrote to her followers, “18 years ago today, this photo became the moment that defined an era.”

She continued: “@BritneySpears @LindsayLohan and me – the holy trinity. “Instantly iconic ✨ #LovesIt #Sliving #Y2K.”

Social media users and celebrities took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the iconic snaps, with one of them typing, “pop culture’s sacred trio.”

Another wrote: “BEYONG ICONIC!” You, Britney and Lindsay raised an entire generation!’ while one added: “Imprinted in our minds until the end of time!”

“Defining moments in my life lol,” one follower shared, while another typed: “I salute the icons ✨ that’s hot ❤️‍.”

Jersey Shore’s Snooki also shared her thoughts in the comments, adding, “Being in that car.”

Bratz’s official Instagram account wrote: “This has to go down in the history books!” while one fan wrote: “Original It Girls!”

Fashion designer Betsey Johnson wrote, “A historic moment,” and Rachel Zoe then shared, “Remember like yesterday.”

Hilton has commemorated the memorable images before, taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) in 2022 as she uploaded the throwback snaps to her fans.

The Simple Life star notably revealed the backstory behind the images during a 2021 episode of her This Is Paris podcast – which has since been relaunched with the new title I Am Paris.

The pictures were taken as she and Spears left a party at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

At the time, Paris and Lindsay were in the middle of “drama” over rumors that Hilton had bumped into the “Freaky Friday” star and spilled a drink on him.

“Just as we got to the car, Lindsay came up to us. “It was a little embarrassing because we had some drama,” recalls the mother of two.

Just as Paris was preparing to drive away from the hotel with Britney, Lohan approached the car – prompting Paris to ask nearby paparazzi to question the actress about the rumors.

“Lindsay said, ‘No, Paris would never hit me, I’ve known her since I was 15.’ Basically it was just a matter of not admitting what she had done.”

Hilton added: “It was pretty awkward being asked that question and it was just weird how the whole thing happened.” Suddenly I look over and she’s in my car. We didn’t get along but I was polite.’

However, Paris and Lindsay have been on good terms since the public feud – Hilton revealed that the pair “reconnected” at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar party earlier this year.

During a TalkShopLive in August, according to Page Six, Paris explained that she had “reconnected” with the actress “a few months earlier” at the post-Oscars bash.

The star shared that they “just talked about being moms,” adding, “It was so nice to see her.” She looks so beautiful. (I’m) so happy for her.’

Lindsay gave birth to her first child – a son named Luai, one – with husband Bader Shammas in July 2023.

Hilton is mother to son Phoenix, one, and daughter London, also one, both born through surrogacy.

The media personality’s latest Instagram post comes shortly after she was mocked by fans after claiming she had never had any cosmetic surgery, including Botox.

During an appearance on The Zach Sang Show podcast last week, Paris explained, “I’m really proud of the fact that I’m all natural.”

The star, who is married to Carter Reum, then added that she has “never done Botox, injections, surgery or (or) anything.”

However, some fans speculated to the contrary, with one writing on social media: “If she hasn’t had Botox she needs to go to the doctor.” Her eyebrows don’t move. She could be having a stroke.’

Another shared: “I believe @parishilton is actually doing something here and this is pure comedy and sarcasm at its finest.”

However, one defended her, adding: “Guys she’s not that old, that’s probably true.” The fact that she hasn’t had Botox or injections doesn’t mean she doesn’t do a lot of other things to her skin.”
