Paris Hilton has been caught alledgedly carrying cannabis in her handbag.

The 25-year-old socialite attended a fashion party in Milan and was pictured with a transparent plastic bag of what appeared to be skunk, a powerful form of marijuana, as she opened her handbag.

A witness said: "Paris had her bag open for quite a while as she applied lip gloss. There were a few shocked faces around her but she carried on chatting away."

The hotel heiress was wearing two watches on her left wrist as she applied lip gloss but was sporting just one time piece as she posed for photographers at the bash.

Last month, Paris was charged with drunk driving after police stopped her as she speeded to get a burger after a charity event.

The 'House of Wax' star insists she only drank one cocktail but had been driving erratically as she hadn't eaten all day. She is due in court in December.

Last week, Paris was involved in a catfight with Shanna Moakler, the ex-wife of Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker.

Paris had recently been seen kissing Travis and a furious Shanna allegedly punched her in the jaw after seeing her on a night out.
