Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie

Feb 24, 2009 by Tiffany B.

There are a lot of young woman and teenagers that look up to Nicole Richie for her style of fashion. She seems to have a laid back, yet fashionable, casual wardrobe, but then she knows how to be sophisticated and elegant for special events. She always has that slightly Boho-chic look to her clothing without looking too messy. Here are some ideas on how you, too, can look like Nicole Richie

Accessorizing is a must. If you have ever seen pictures of Nicole Richie, she has tons of accessories on any given day. Think over-sized sunglasses, chunky necklaces and bracelets, head bands and scarves, big rings and definitely scarves around the neck. She also seems to be always carrying a big handbag, sometimes a little too big for her petite frame. This large handbag from Marc Jacobs would definitely be a bag that Nicole Richie would carry.

When it comes your actual clothing, skinny jeans and black leggings are a must for your wardrobe. Also, another must are long maxi-dresses that go down to your ankles. Look for ones that have an empire-waist or a halter top and are flowing with a pretty pattern or print. For tops, Nicole seems to like looser tops that are longer. Look for longer blouses or fitted t-shirts to wear with the legging or skinny jeans. For more of a dressed-up Nicole Richie look, try a strapless short dress or even a long strapless dress with a floral pattern.

One thing that you can tell about Nicole Richie's fashion is that she loves shoes. She can be seen wearing high heeled pumps most of the time. These look great with the skinny jeans and leggings. For a more casual (and comfortable) look, Nicole goes for flat Bohemian-style shoes with embellishments and stones or flat boots like these Juicy Couture ones. For night time, keep your shoes interesting with bold colors, embellishments, high heels and interesting cutouts.

Fashion Shows: Dubai

The idea of seeing a fashion show in Riyadh fascinates me! From what I've heard, Dubai is the shopping capitol of the universe, which is noteworthy, because this is a part of the world where women are expected to cover themselves from head to toe. Dubai Fashion Week would be an excellent change of pace if I could afford the plane tickets and the cost of staying in a hotel room with solid gold toilets.

Dubai Fashion Week will take place from the 5th to 9th of October, 2008 at the Godolphin Ball Room in Jumeirah Emirates Towers, another good reason to visit if you're middling royalty (Jumeirah owns the Essex House in Manhattan, the hotel I got married in, and their service and amenities are completely peerless). Designers that showed in Riyadh at the most recent Fashion Week in March include Amal Murad and Hend Halawani, who design high-end hijab, Arifa Ali, who presented red-carpet worthy draped gowns that reminded me of Rami Kashou's collection at New York Fashion week, Deeya Nanda, whose collection looks like she designs for rock royalty, and Lamia Asudari, whose ideal customer seems to be a hot mom (you know the acronym) with a penchant for science fiction movies.

I love the fact that ancient and modern, Eastern and Western, modest and sexy are all mixed up. It's even better that most of the designers in this masculine-dominated world are women. But my favorite collection for clothes I would actually wear is Charu Parashar, whose fall palette of plum, gold ,grey and periwinkle was so sophisticated it would suit royalty (and it probably will do that, literally).

Ms. Parashar's fall fashion show was clearly influenced by her Indian background and consisted of modern interpretations of classic Indian dress merged with a hippie look featuring flowing skirts, ombre and wallpaper pattern fabric and offbeat accessories. It kind of looks like the teenaged daughter of a Bollywood superstar raided her grandma's suitcase and put together something fabulous. It's so against the perfect stylist aesthetic that I just have to love it. I can't wait to see what she shows for spring!
