Paris Hilton enjoyed a festive evening with friends at the premiere of “White Lotus” Season 3 in Los Angeles on Monday, where she was seen taking tequila shots alongside actor Lukas Gage.

An eyewitness revealed that the 43-year-old socialite appeared to be in high spirits, accompanying her tequila with a pink beverage. Throughout the evening, she socialized with various celebrities, including Parker Posey and Molly Shannon, though she primarily stayed close to Gage, 29, and her friend group.

While Hilton kept the energy high, Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger made a brief appearance at the event. The couple, who recently expanded their family with a third child in November 2024, came to support Katherine’s brother Patrick Schwarzenegger, who appears in the newest season of the HBO series.

During the evening, Pratt mentioned to another attendee that this was one of their first outings since their son’s birth. When questioned about attending the afterparty, the actor explained they needed to return home to their children.

Though the couple departed early, Katherine’s parents maintained a presence at the event. Maria Shriver engaged with guests throughout the celebration, while Arnold Schwarzenegger made an appearance on the red carpet earlier in the evening.

The afterparty, staged at the Paramount lot, featured a tropical theme. HBO collaborated with Anajak Thai to showcase dishes from local Thai establishments affected by recent Los Angeles wildfires, including Cholada Thai Malibu, Miya, and Thai Vegan III.

The star-studded celebration drew numerous cast members from the new season, including Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Leslie Bibb, Jason Isaacs, Sam Nivola, and Lalisa Manobal.

Before the screening began, series creator Mike White became emotional, telling the audience, “You’re looking at somebody who just crossed the finish line of the hardest race I’ve ever run. Honestly, I just feel happy. I’m so happy … I’m so happy to just be here, and I’m so happy to share this with a lot of the people here.”

The upcoming season, set in Thailand, is scheduled to debut on February 16.
