She's got that newlywed glow!

Fresh off her summer wedding to James Rothschild, a radiant Nicky Hilton kicked off New York Fashion Week with a party celebrating her September/October 2015 Fall Fashion cover of BELLA New York magazine. The first question we asked her at the SilkPeel sponsored bash, of course, was about the sophisticated, ultra-chic Valentino dress she chose for her big day. 

"I really wanted to be just classic and timeless," Hilton told E! News. "A lot of brides today go a little edgier, but I just wanted to look like myself and be classic." At the reception, she let her hair down and changed into a shorter number so she could dance the night away. The wedding "seems like a blur now, but it was perfect. It was small—just our family and friends—but I couldn't have had a better time."

Now that they're officially husband and wife, Hilton admitted, "It does [feel different]. It feels more grown up."

But they're not quite ready to add to their family just yet. When asked about children, Hilton demurred, "I'm just enjoying being married right now."

That said, she does have a new baby: her just-launched capsule collection of handbags for Linea Pelle called NICKY HILTON x Linea Pelle. Available now, the line includes cross-body bags, totes and clutches. In recent weeks, she's been spotted wearing them all over town.

"I had so much fun doing it," Hilton said. "I really wanted to focus on timeless, classic bags. So there's black, there's cream and there's leopard. The styles are really chic and they go well from day to night. They're just cool."

No doubt she'll be sporting them all week as she hits the shows. After all, she said, all you need to survive Fashion Week is "a great purse, comfortable shoes and an iPhone to document everything."
