Paris Hilton splashed out on the latest celebrity must-have item during a shopping spree in LA yesterday - a pair bright blue shades.

The heiress proudly showed off her new purchase after trading in her white rimmed glasses for the new specs while spending up a storm on Robertson Blvd.

Of course, not by coincidence, they matched perfectly with her blue trimmed floral dress and tote.

Aside from an ever hectic shopping schedule, Paris is also gearing up for a guest appearance on the US show My Name Is Earl.

However the part should not be too much of an acting challenge - she is playing herself.

Series creator and executive producer Greg Garcia quipped: "I can't wait to see what she does with the role and I can't wait for America to discover her."
