They first connected on their mutual wealth and love for shopping. But it appears Paris Hilton and Petra Ecclestone are growing closer as friends and have even started co-ordinating their outfits. The blonde heiresses both wore leopard prints for a dinner date in Los Angeles last night.
Petra went for a sexier look with a monochrome ensemble consisting of a black and white corset. She paired it with skin tight leather trousers and her strappy Christian Louboutin heels were the perfect accessory. Paris looked demure in comparison in her calf length green animal print dress. She teamed her look with a large handbag and black platform heels.
They were joined by their mutual friend Brandon Davis who went for all black but appeared to be wearing a snakeskin jacket. Paris was seen going to the Kate Somerville Salon in West Hollywood late last week to get her tresses touched up and has just returned from a world-wind trip promoting her new handbags and accessories line. Meanwhile, Petra has just moved to Hollywood recently and is living in her $52 million mansion with new husband James Stunt, 28. The couple married last month at a lavish ceremony at 15th Century Odescalchi Castle in Italy.
Her Vera Wang dress alone cost a reputed $150,000, and the evening entertainment – including the Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, DJ David Guetta and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – cost more than $5 million. Petra's new estate is a sprawling 57,000 square foot house called The Manor which was built by the late TV producer Aaron Spelling who was responsible for such shows as Dallas and Charlie’s Angels. Built in the style of a French chateau it is located in the exclusive Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles. It has a huge garden in the front and the back, a swimming pool and a double staircase that was inspired by one featured in ‘Gone with the Wind’.
