With her slim figure, ultra stylish outfits and chic hairstyle, Nicole Richie has always been a fashion icon.
And as these new set of stunning shots show, the diminutive Simple Life star is still very much living up to her reputation as she poses in a series of lace dresses, leather trousers and high heeled strappy shoes.
But despite her glossy image, the 28-year-old seems to be becoming a bit of a domestic goddess these days.
In the accompanying interview for In Style magazine, Nicole discusses how she makes ‘home-cooked and very, very healthy’ food for her fiancé Joel Madden and two children – two-year-old Harlow, and Sparrow, one, which she says is ‘made with love.’
‘I don’t have a hat and apron, but I entertain at home a lot,’ she reveals.’ I love cooking for other people.
‘My house is pretty eclectic. I think it represents me well. It’s fun and comfortable at the same time and it’s a place where a lot of people like to be.
And Harlow already seems to be taking after her mother, who has her own jewellery range House of Harlow and clothing line Winter Kate.
‘[Harlow] picks her own clothes. It’s a 20-minute thing – it begins at 7.30 each morning – but it is what it is and it’s fine,’ she says.
Despite her preened look in these photos, Nicole – who changed her hair style from long and brown to blonde and bobbed his week - claims her fashion instinct comes naturally.
‘I don’t think it’s as prepared as you’d think,’ she says. ‘I just grab whatever’s around and put it on.
‘I’m pretty much a jeans and T-shirt type of girl and then I go from there.
‘I collect a lot of vintage kimonos and vintage bed jackets.
‘I’ll throw those on, and a lot of the time it will appear that I’m wearing a completely different outfit, but I’m not.
