Despite receiving familial support from her parents, who were in the front row on the catwalk at Nicky Hilton’s big showing at New York Fashion Week, her older sister, Paris, was conspicuously absent, choosing to attend the MTV Video Music Awards and chill with 50 Cent rather than go to her sister’s show. Luckily for Nicky, Russell Simmons had her back (although I’m not exactly sure why) and was singing her praises before the show.

“She’s been very dedicated for all these years,” said Simmons before the show.

“I think for her it’s a real passion. She’s seriously invested her time.”

Bijou Phillips also showed up in what look like her pj’s, and I might be wrong, but if you look closely, I think you can actually see Kathy Hilton’s under-spanx in one of the pix after the jump. Yeah, cause I looked. I know, I’m disgusting. But it is reassuring to see that at least someone in that family believes in undergarments. Jenna Jameson is there and the poor thing looks like she continues to shrink, while her mouth and teeth just keep on growing. Bless her heart. At least her hair looks good.
