Nicole Richie's Always Been My Muse, But These 5 Looks Are Even Chicer Than Usual

If you watched The Simple Life as religiously as I did growing up (and still to this day), then you can probably understand the hold that Nicole Richie has over me. When she wore Von Dutch, I wanted to wear Von Dutch. And when she went on a shopping spree at Dior, investing in $2,000 printed wedges for the farm and $350 shield sunglasses, I wanted to do and buy all of the same things. (Of course, as an 11-year-old, I couldn’t do that, nor could I do it now, but at least it was something I could aspire to accomplish someday.) She was and always will be my muse.

While Richie’s style has always been elite, and more importantly, a touch non-conformist to current trends, the recent photos I’ve seen from her press tour for Wade Allain-Marcus’ Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead display an even chicer side to her than usual. And that’s saying a lot coming from me. There was the Schiaparelli micro-mini that she wore to the film’s premiere at the Grove in Los Angeles, the fall/winter 2023 Saint Laurent runway look she picked for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and of course, a touch of her own brand, House of Harlow 1960, which she wore with Saint Laurent shades and a Celine bag on The Drew Barrymore Show. There hasn’t been a single miss or even a subpar ensemble from the tour. Everything’s been perfect.

Naturally, a lot of the credit should be directed at Jamie Mizrahi, the same stylist who works with street-style stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Allen White, and Riley Keough, to name a few. See five of the best looks Mizrahi has put together for Richie’s press tour below.
