With her growing baby bump perfectly concealed, Nicole Richie attended the Decades Fashion Show in a floaty, earth-mother-style kaftan. If she carries on this way, the hell-raising teen she once was might be forever forgotten. (20 March 2009)

Nicole Richie was one of the surprise style icons of the Noughties. Initially shooting to fame as Paris Hilton’s wild-child sidekick, fast forward 10 years and Miss Richie has undergone arguably one of the most dramatic transformation of the decade. Once a brash reality TV queen, the yummy mummy is now renowned for her hippie-luxe style, seen through her love of long, elegant maxidresses, tousled locks and clever use of layered accessories. Today she’s even managed to garner huge respect for her own fashion and jewellery ranges, Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960. Her appearance at the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, looking nothing short of stunning, was a real turning point in this master of makeovers. (2005)

Vegas was clearly the party place to be this New Year's Eve. Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie rang in 2010 together at a star-studded soiree at the LAVA club, in the Palazzo Hotel. While an uber-blonde Christina donned her best LBD, the newly brunette Miss Richie got her sparkle on in a bronze smock dress. (4 January 2010)
