Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is the third eyelid. That is considered a normal structure of the eye. Sometimes it can become elevated and visible and normalize on its own. I would recommend that you continue to monitor Paris for now. If this does not normalize in the next few weeks, have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment to make sure everything is ok with her eye. Good luck and have a great day!
