Less Sailor Moon, more Stripper Moon, and an odd take on why people love the anime heroine.
OK, last chance. Is Hilton’s outfit inspired by anime remake Sailor Moon Crystal, which was produced under close supervision from franchise creator Naoko Takeuchi?
The Sailor Moon anime premiered in Japan in 1992, and reached U.S. TV in 1995, at which time Hilton was 14 years old, the exact same age as main character Usagi/Sailor Moon herself.
Obviously, the widest potential American fanbases are attached to series that aired on U.S. television, like Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon, and it’s the landmark magical girl saga that socialite and general-purpose celebrity Paris Hilton has recently professed her fondness for with some Sailor Moon cosplay.
