Nicole Richie is best known for her historically controversial personal life and her celebutante series, "The Simple Life," starring her BFF and partying buddy, Paris Hilton. While Richie has done the alcohol, sex and drugs lifestyle with the best of her young celeb counterparts, she claims to have turned over a new leaf with the recent birth of her daughter, Harlow. Richie fans worldwide love to mimic her singular style, which looks great whether you're hitting Rodeo Drive, sitting in traffic school or falling off the rehab wagon.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Oversized sunglasses
  • Prayer shawl
  • Oversized purse
  • Flowing clothing
  1. Step 1

    Dodge those UV rays while dodging a DUI with a pair of replica Chloe sunglasses from Sunglass Warehouse. Richie is rarely seen, sober or otherwise, without her oversized, vintage-style specs.

  2. Step 2

    Get on the waiting list for one of Sir Alastair Rai's Prayer Wraps at Nicole Style. These hip shawls are designed after the colorful prayer flags found in Tibet, and have been spotted on style divas like Richie, Drew Barrymore and Angelina Jolie. Based on her record of questionable life choices, Nicole can certainly use all of the prayers this little shawl can muster.

  3. Step 3

    Visit Bag Borrow Or Steal to rent Richie's favorite Balenciaga shoulder bag styles by the week, month or longer, a great option if you can't afford to cash in your net worth for a purse that runs over $1,000. Bag Borrow Or Steal also carries shoulder bags, purses and totes from designers like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade and Coach, and you can return them whenever you're ready for a new Nicole look.

  4. Step 4

    Get "The Nicole" dress at Nicole Style, nicknamed after Richie when she was regularly spotted wearing its flowing, halter design in mocha, vermillion and ivory. A Michelle Mason design, the dress flatters petite figures with its open back and banded waist, and can be dressed up or down for any occasion.

  5. Step 5

    Recreate Richie's glowing maternity style when you buy her red and navy silk Vanitas dress from Milk (see Resources below). Richie was captured by Catwalk Queen pairing this sassy dress with her navy ballet flats. The dress is often on backorder, so you may just have to wait in line to be as fashion-forward as Mama Richie is.
