Nicole Richie on a Fast Train to Frumpy Town
WENN

After giving birth, most women would be proud to wear skimpy, body-hugging outfits, providing their slender figures had returned. But bone-thin mommy Nicole Richie goes to the opposite extreme, stepping out in public draped in giant swaths of busy cloth.

There's an old saying in the fashion world that confusing patterns and colors can't liven up a corpse, and they don't do much for Nicole either.

On the right, the young mother of Harlow Madden steps out at the Women in Film Awards in a blue print, complete with a dizzying design of flowers, leaves and fringe.

On the left, at the Cartier Love Charity Bracelet event, Nic envelops herself in a yellow, green and gray satin gown resembling camouflage.

Luckily for Richie, Janet Jackson's amazing disappearing feet always provide a good distraction. They must be sensitive to sunlight or something.

Quotables /
“Next to her if you guys don’t know is her hockey player boyfriend, Mike Comrie. Now I know what you’re thinking and no, he’s not slow. He may look a little off but that’s probably just because he’s taken one too many pucks to the face.”
“Rarely do I expect to see a fringed caftan out in the wild; NEVER did I think I'd see it on Nicole Richie, who needs to hide herself in an enormous fabric tent about as much as I need to smear Crisco on my face and take up smoking.”
Go Fug Yourself
“The new group of prominent music ambassadors to join the 2008 endeavor included Duff for charity Blessings in a Backpack, which will be represented by a deep plum bracelet.”

“In a patterned silk yellow floor length dress, the newbie mum looked to enjoy being back in the limelight.”
Splash News Online
“In a twist of ultimate irony, even the star of gem-bashing Blood Diamond (2006) Djimon Hounsou came as Kimora Lee Simmons' arm candy (they have been dating for a few months, now).”
“Emmy Rossum (in Dior) looks dazzling at the third annual Loveday celebration and Cartier Love Charity Bracelet launch held at a private residence on Wednesday in Los Angele”
