Paris Hilton in corset horror
October 29, 2007
It-girl Paris Hilton's new acting role has revealed a hitherto hidden passion for corsets; it seems that she loves the corseted look of her character so much that she is even wearing basques when out on the town.
Horror opera film REPO! The Genetic Opera sees Paris strut about in a variety of corsets, black bobbed wig and suspenders.
The 26-year-old stars alongside Sarah Brightman, Anthony Head and Paul Sorvino in what is being described as a 'thriller movie musical' set in 2056.
Ms Hilton plays Amber Sweet, the daughter of a villainous organ transplant tycoon who is making money off the fact that a plague threatens to eradicate the human race if they can not afford an expensive organ transplant operation.
Those who heard Paris' last pop single, Stars are Blind, may or may not be glad to know that she sings in REPO!, which is set to be released next April.
But Paris insists that her vocal performance has improved since that offering. "They just gave me the script and the CD of the song, how it sounded, and I worked with my voice coach every day and my choreographer and then went in and did it and they said I blew everyone else out of the water," the heiress claims.
Although the corset is sure to feature prominently, Paris revealed that the film gives her five different looks. "I always look completely different," she said. "I'm excited for that transformation, because he wants to make it so you can't even tell - like, that's really Paris?"
Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, of Saw fame, the film promises gore, graveyards and dominatrix sex.
Meanwhile, the corset look seems to have caught on in Paris' off-screen life. Rarely seen in a corset before, she was snapped over the last week in a corset creation to attend a costume party to celebrate Halloween.
For a Bel Air bash, she dressed up as a saucy sailor, with a white satin corset top and skirt with anchor motifs, topped off with a sailor hat.
