Paris Hilton has been praised for her “stunning” runway appearance amid a heartbreaking personal battle.
The professional DJ modelled a sparkling pink dress at the Versace show during Milan Fashion Week on Friday.
But unbeknown to onlookers, the star was in the midst of a “very difficult week” after her beloved dog, Diamond Baby, went missing as she moved home in LA.
The 41-year-old, who has previously described the pooch as her “daughter” is now offering $10,000 ($AU15,345) to anyone who can help find the missing Chihuahua “no questions asked”.
Fans are now praising Paris for upholding her commitment to close the fashion show for the prestigious Italian label despite being in tremendous personal pain.

On the runway, Paris wore a pink sparkly dress finished with a hot pink trim. She also had a bridal veil, pointed heels and lace fingerless gloves to match.
On TikTok fans commended the star, sending Paris their best wishes as well as praising the all pink ensemble she rocked on the runway.
“OMG looks amazing. I really hope Diamond is returned safely,” one wrote.
“Oh noooooo I hope they find her pup!!!!! And she’s DEFINITELY sliving!!!!” another said.
“An icon, keeping her in my prayers,” someone agreed.
The outfit has been described as “Barbiecore” – a new trend that is about embodying all things the iconic doll would love – from pink outfits to matching home decor.
Just before her Milan Fashion Week appearance, Paris had detailed her heartache at Diamond Baby’s disappearance, writing it has been the “most painful experience” in an Instagram post calling for help.
“It’s been over a week and Diamond Baby is still missing,” she wrote.
“This has been on of the most painful experiences of my life.
“My heart is broken. I miss her so much and feel like part of me is gone without her next to me.”
Paris, the eldest daughter of Hilton Hotel heir Richard and his wife Kathy, went on to explain they had tried numerous routes to try and locate the pup including six pet psychics “who have all told me that she is alive”.
“All I want is for her to be safe and back at home where she belongs. If you have ANY information about her whereabouts please reach out,” she said.
Earlier in the week Paris had revealed in a separate post Diamond Baby had got out of the house after a door was left open as she moved home.
“My family and friends have been helping me search high and low throughout my entire neighbourhood and have gone door to door but we still haven’t found her,” she said.
Other star’s that walked in the Versace show included Bella and Gigi Hadid and feminist activist Emily Ratajkowski.
Meanwhile Nicky Hilton was sat front row along with Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Graham, and Alessandra Ambrosio.
