The hotel heiress was among the 1,400 guests at a grand ball hosted by interior designer Nicky Haslam at Parkstead House in Roehampton.
She chatted to a clearly enamoured Prince Michael of Kent, posed for photographs with the Duchess of York and shared the dancefloor with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Hilton has made a concerted effort to befriend members of the Royal Family on her latest trip to Britain.
Earlier this week, she attempted to engage the attentions of Princes William and Harry at London nightclub Whisky Mist, but they politely batted her away.
The Haslam party was held at the home of the designer's great-great-great-great-grandfather in honour of art collector Janet de Botton, and proved to be a lavish bash which, for one evening at least, banished all thoughts of the credit crisis.
The main room featured a revolving dancefloor and was modelled on the 1946 Fred Astaire film, Ziegfeld Follies. A 14-piece orchestra was flown in from Paris and the chandeliers were decorated with marabou feathers.
Other guests at the extravaganza included supermodel Jerry Hall, actress Joely Richardson, designer Vivienne Westwood and presenters Trinny Woodall and Cilla Black.
The dress code stipulated black, silver and violet. Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman described it as a "stress code" but all the party-goers embraced the theme. Hilton wore a shimmering gunmetal gown by Jenny Packham, while the fashion-conscious Princess Beatrice chose to team her dress with a leather biker jacket.
Haslam explained: "By silver I mean diamonds, but I thought that sounded pretentious."
