Paris Hilton swaps bikinis

Paris works her red carpet magic at the 4th Annual Night by the Ocean charity event
She's been a bikini-clad fixture at Malibu beach, but now Paris Hilton has resumed her other favourite pasttime - posing on the red carpet.

At least this time the Simple Life had frocked up for a good cause; she attended a benefit for young people affected by spinal cord injury, finally making good on her promise to do more for charity.

While the heiress, who wore a monochrome ball gown complete with dazzling jewels, arrived for the evening alone, she recently won the affection of Australian surfer Tyler Atkins.
