Kathy Hilton steals the show wherever she goes.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star hit the stage with her co-stars at Tuesday night’s People’s Choice Awards 2022 to introduce the winner of the Best Drama TV Star award, handing it over to “Law & Order” actress Mariska Hargitay.
However, once Hargitay got on stage, fans weren’t exactly paying attention to her heartfelt speech with Hilton in the background.
The Casa del Sol tequila investor opened up her glittering Valentino purse and pulled out some lip gloss to freshen up her look — all as cameras rolled on the “SVU” star’s speech about kindness, unity and inspiration.
And fans certainly noticed. “There could be 100 people in the room and Kathy Hilton will stay acting like she’s the only one there,” one person tweeted.
“Not Kathy Hilton standing directly behind awkwardly and putting on lipstick. you can’t make this stuff up,” another said.
Not everyone was as amused by the televised beauty touch-up.
“Kathy Hilton reapplying lipstick while on stage during #mariskahargitay heartfelt thank you speech is the epitome of rude and shows she is so full of herself,” one fan said.
Another tweeted, “Omg @KathyHilton acting like a c—t during Mariska Hargitays #PeoplesChoiceAwards acceptance speech. Come on, like you couldn’t at least pretend to not be such an inconsiderate Karen putting your lipstick on and rolling your eyes. Unbelievable.”
As for her scripted lines, Hilton, 63, poked fun at her tequila-centered fight with Lisa Rinna and sister Kyle Richards in a “Family Feud” skit with the night’s host, Kenan Thompson.
While the cast was reunited onstage — including Richards, Rinna, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Crystal Minkoff and Sutton Stracke (Garcelle Beauvais, who was nominated along with the group for Best Reality Show as well in the solo category of Best Reality Star, was unable to attend due to work conflicts) — Hilton kept both her half-sister and her sparring partner at arm’s length.
One thing’s for sure: Her lip product of choice likely didn’t come from Rinna Beauty.
