Nicky Hilton’s Relatable Mother’s Day Wish: A Theo Grace x Parents Magazine Exclusive

When you think of the Hilton family, you might imagine high fashion and grand parties, but Nicky Hilton’s ideal Mother’s Day is refreshingly grounded. In an exclusive chat with Parents magazine, the designer and mother of three revealed that her ultimate gift doesn’t come in a blue box. Instead, it involves a simple luxury most parents crave: sleeping in without an alarm clock.

While she jokes that a quiet morning is her top priority, Nicky is also celebrating the holiday by honoring the women in her life. She recently launched the "Made to Treasure" collection from her jewelry brand, Theo Grace. Named after her own daughters, the brand focuses on pieces that become instant family heirlooms.

The Bond of Design

The new collection features timeless items like lockets, brooches, and monogrammed bracelets. For Nicky, the collaboration with Kathy was a natural fit. She notes that while they were working together in London, they spent most of their time laughing. Nicky admits that if they were in school together, teachers would likely have to separate them for talking too much.

This deep connection is the heartbeat of the Theo Grace brand. Nicky believes that personalized gifts show a level of thoughtfulness that off the shelf items simply cannot match.

Lessons from Kathy Hilton

Beyond jewelry, Nicky credits her mother for the "immaculate template" she follows in her own life. Kathy taught her the importance of manners, from writing handwritten thank you notes at age seven to never ordering the most expensive item on a menu when dining as a guest.

These values extend to Nicky's approach to marriage with husband James Rothschild. Following her parents’ example of forty years of marriage, she prioritizes sharing values and never going to bed angry.

Style Meets Comfort

Nicky’s eye for design isn't limited to jewelry. Drawing on memories of wearing itchy, uncomfortable dresses as a child, she recently partnered with La Coqueta to create a children's line that balances beauty with playability. Her daughters, Lily Grace and Theodora, even ended up "twinning" with their aunt Paris Hilton and cousin London during Easter, proving that the Hilton sense of style is definitely a family affair.

Ultimately, Nicky’s Mother’s Day is about the support of a close knit family. Whether she is designing necklaces for Theo Grace or enjoying a quiet lunch with her kids, she remains grateful for the bond she shares with her mother and the legacy she is building for her own children.
