'The Simple Life' reboot dream lives on: Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie reunited at an event

That's hot.

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have been through a lot over the years. Thank goodness everything seems to be hunky-dory these days.

The stars of The Simple Life were just seen together in public for the first time in years — and their reunion quickly sparked rumors about a reboot of the iconic reality television show that debuted 15 years ago.

Hilton and Richie were spotted catching up on Sunday at The Daily Front Row's Fashion Los Angeles Awards, where they each presented awards — to Philipp Plein and Juicy Couture, respectively.

If you look hard enough, you can spy Richie's husband (and Good Charolette frontman) Joel Madden, as well as former Disney Channel star Rowan Blanchard sneaking in a photograph in the lower right-hand corner.

While one photo is a far cry from the duo's iconic days ruling tabloids and television together in the early 2000s, their reunion inspired plenty of imaginative folks who've spent the better part of the last 10 years dreaming of a reboot to the reality show. And then there was a tweet from the reality show's official account.

The two might reunite again sooner than you'd expect, though not on screen. Hilton is engaged to partner Chris Zylka, and she's confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that Richie is on the guest list for the wedding.

But until the day The Simple Life ultimately returns to air, we'll just be watching videos of the two screaming "sanasa" forever.
