I actually count myself as a fan of Ms. Nicole Richie. I like that beneath her steely fashionista exterior, it's still the girl who played sidekick to Paris Hilton on The Simple Life. I like that she's funny and personable while still always looking adorable chic and playing up her assets. 

Well, that's what I believed until I saw this outfit. I cannot stand this dress. I know it really isn't all that bad, I mean, it could definitely be worse; just take a look at some of the fashion disasters from the Oscars or Golden Globes. However, I think I expected way more from Richie, so, this dress makes me pretty disappointed.
 

I'm not a fan of the belt, the colour of the dress, the cut or the draping. Is it just me or does this yellow age her and make her look a bit sickly? I also cannot stand this hair style on Nicole. I've seen bobs pulled off well (i.e Rose Bryne) but Nicole, this one isn't for you. On the plus side, her eye make up is divine, she always knows how to make those peepers pop! 

What do you think? Am I being too hard on Nicole? Is this outfit a yay or nay? Leave a comment below by March 25th with your answer and one reader will be randomly selected to win a prize!
