Number 5 on our reasons of “Why We’re Excited for the Met Gala” was “Big Hair.”

And leave it to Nicole Richie to not even make us wait until the red carpet to fulfill our wishes.

The star left her hotel in an elegant, embroidered white gown with a high neck, which she offset with a seriously hair-raising do: an up-combed pompadour spray-painted silver that contrasted with her bronze skin and dark wine lips.

If things are getting this funky before the night even begins, we cannot wait to see what’s on its way to the Metropolitan Museum of Art as we speak.

Nicole Richie: Joel Just Noticed I Have Bangs

We’ve already made it pretty clear that we find Nicole Richie both hilarious and stylish, but at the Tuesday launch party for her new AOL series #CandidlyNicole, she once again showed why she’s worthy of our valuable TV-watching time.

When asked if her husband Joel Madden ever weighs in on her style, Richie laughed. “No!” she told PEOPLE. “He just noticed I had bangs. He noticed those a year ago and we’ve been together for seven years. I’m still waiting for everything from the neck down. He just noticed my bangs.”

As it turns out, this is actually bangs phase II. The first time around, she was going through a rebellious phase, which is now filed under her most cringeworthy style moments.

“My parents didn’t want me to have bangs,” she said — adding that she cut them anyway. “Then, after realizing I had curly hair — because I was too young to realize I’d actually have to blow dry my bangs — I had curly bangs for a year. That was fun.”

And though you’ll see the high-fashion side of the star in her AOL series, at home, she can’t get out of her designer duds fast enough. “When I’m home I do not wear regular clothes. All I wear is sweats. Everything comes off, the shoes, jeans, the jewelry,” she said. “I do not wear clothes in my house.”

Significant others not noticing our haircuts? Living in sweatpants? We knew we had a lot in common with Richie.

Nicole Richie: I’d Like To Remove My ‘Butt Crack Cross’ Tramp Stamp

Apr/30/2013 at 05:28 PM ET


If you ever wanted to watch The Simple Life with Paris Hilton on mute — because Nicole Richie is just that hilarious — have we got good news for you.

The Fashion Star judge (and mom of two) let cameras follow her around for a new AOL web series, #CandidlyNicole, comprising 20 vignettes based on her delightful Twitter account.

In the debut episode, Richie visits L.A.’s Dr. Tattoff tattoo removal clinic to see how hard it would be to get rid of the “tramp stamp” (her words!) she got as a teenager.

Exclusive First Look: Nicole Richie, Rachel Zoe and More In Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s

Apr/17/2013 at 06:00 PM ET

Any fashionista who has ever visited N.Y.C. knows that the amazing department store Bergdorf Goodman is must-visit landmark — up there with the Statue of Liberty!

And the store has inspired such loyalty in its high-wattage customers (from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) that a book has been published — and an upcoming film has been produced — all about its fascinating history.

In an exclusive sneak peek video from Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s, we get a look at the store’s fashion director, Linda Fargo, who has become an iconic front-row presence at Fashion Week and who vets all the designers that come through the store.

In the clip above, stars like Rachel Zoe and Nicole Richie pay gushing tribute to Fargo as well as to the store, and remind us why shopping can be so much fun. Take a look, then be sure to check out all of the other huge fashion names who were interviewed for the documentary when it hits theaters May 3.

Nicole Richie Doesn’t Dress the Men in Her Life

Fashion Star mentor Nicole Richie has enough on her plate, between the show (the second season premieres tonight), her clothing lines and looking perpetually chic. So when it comes to dressing the guys in her family — well, they’re on their own.

“I do not dress Joel. Joel dresses himself,” Richie said of her husband Friday on Live With Kelly and Michael. “And he dresses [3-year-old son] Sparrow.”

Then she corrected herself: “Sparrow’s actually dressing himself now but he’s very particular,” she said. “So he needs the bandana tied around the belt, you know how Joel does it … he has to have all of his sleeves cut off of his shirts. He’s got a little curly Mohawk now!”

As far as streamlining her own style, Richie said she spends a little more on everyday items in her wardrobe, like jeans and t-shirts, then adds inexpensive extras. “I feel like if you get really great basics, then you really can just accessorize them with different things and you can make different outfits,” she said.

See Richie discuss her Live With Kelly and Michael style here, and check out Fashion Star on NBC tonight!

The Real Reason Nicole Richie Loves Wearing Braids (Hint: It’s Not Because They’re Cute!)

Take a look at photos of Nicole Richie and you’ll notice something: The girl loves her braids, both in her day-to-day life and on the red carpet. And while most people probably assume she rocks the hairstyle simply because she likes it, we know a little secret … When you see Richie sporting a braid, it’s almost always because she’s masking a bad hair day!

The plait is the her go-to solution for dealing with not-so-perfect hair, Richie tells PEOPLE. (And if not a braid, she reaches for a hat to cover up her mane.) And lucky for her, she looks awesome in the hairstyle, so if she hadn’t told us, we’d never have guessed!

The designer let us in on another strand secret: Her waves don’t come from a curling iron. Instead she uses a flat iron. “A curling iron makes it too literal, too Shirley Temple,” the Suave spokeswoman says, explaining that she prefers the slightly more undone result that comes from curling sections of hair around a straightener.

Red Carpet Trend Report: The Scoop on Winter Whites, Furry Accents & Pops of Neon

A cold snap couldn’t keep stars indoors — especially not during a week this packed with parties and premieres! — so we had tons of red carpet eye candy to evaluate. And we spotted two styles that we expect to see more of at the SAGs on Sunday, plus one we think the stars will leave at home. Keep reading for more …

Up: Winter Whites. For a moment, we thought we’d seen the last of ice queen outfits, but boy, were we wrong. This week we spotted two superstars donning chic white numbers: Taylor Swift in a plunging mini (guess that breakover tour is still going strong) and Jennifer Lopez, who wore the pristine shade two days in a row. She first stepped out in a Lanvin bow-accented sheath, then switched gears in a super-sexy KaufmanFranco illusion gown. And though white wasn’t a popular color choice at the Golden Globes, we wouldn’t be shocked if that changes come Sunday night.
