Yay or Nay: Nicole Richie (page 7)

Yay or Nay: Nicole Richie

| Monday March 19, 2012

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!

I want to see the dress on her again with unfrizzy and dark hair and the lengh cut just above the knee. She needs some sexy leg showing to take away from the yellow that seems to be consuming her lower half. I love the top of this dress from the knee up, and would like to see it work...its just not goin to happen this time. It is a beautiful dress,but its almost like a jazzed up sun dress with the lengh and its not working. Sorry Nicole i have to say this is a miss thiss time.

I would like the outfit more with skinny pants (black leather or velvet pants), and high heels! I really don't like that lipstick though. It makes her lips look thinner, and washes out her face. She's so puuurty but the lipstick gives her the overly tanned orangey look some girls have. Btw: what is up with that??? I saw 2 ORANGE women on the streetcar last week! One had black hair, the other blonde, both were so "tanned", it looked kinda dirty. Awful awful.... I couldn't stop staring.
