Nicole Richie Makeover: Fab Or Fail?

When she first started appearing on the Hollywood scene, Nicole Richie was best known as Paris Hilton‘s raunchy BFF. Her look was part rock n’ roll and part skank — multi-colored hair extensions, a nose ring, and the skimpiest outfits conceivable. But fame set in, and with it Nicole dropped an obscene amount of weight and became a fashion icon over night. Her new look mixed her SoCal looks with serious glam, and decadent bling, thanks in part to stylist Rachel Zoe.

These days Nicole’s body is on the mend, after it gained some shape and suppleness during her pregnancy with daughter Harlow. The starlet is pregnant once more with her second child, and she’s bringing her signature style to her baby bump — accentuating it with gorgeous frocks and chunky gold jewels from her own line, House of Harlow. We can’t help but imagine her success has made ex-BFF Paris super jealous.

Is Nicole finally behaving her age or has she turned into a big bore?
