If I had the power to crown a woman Queen Of Transformation, the throne would be handed directly to Nicole Richie with zero hesitation. Can we all take a moment to reminisce on the tragically trashy Nicole circa 2004? The scary brown streaks amongst her bleach blonde mane somehow still make my stomach queasy. Fast-forward ten years, and the House of Harlow babe is now a fashion mogul. Sure, she’s itty-bitty, but her weight loss is besides the point. What baffles me is how she was able to go from Simple Life Nicole, hidden in the shadow of Paris Hilton (you know, Kim K’s old bff), to a stunning style icon AND mama who rocks every color of hair under the sun. Most of us can only dream of pulling off a head full of lavender, but somehow she makes it look easy to wear. If Nicole offered lessons on how to join her in the badass bitch department, I would be in attendance every single day (and hopefully on an episode of Candidly Nicole).
Stalking my way through Mrs. Richie’s Instagram, I present to you a portfolio of Nicole’s 50 shades of hair, broken down à la Picasso. Sorry to the homie, Christian Grey.
“THIS IS MY IT-GIRL SWAG.”
“JK… I’M A CLASSY BRUNETTE BITCH.”
“I LIKE LAVENDER HAIR BECAUSE I LIKE ATTENTION.”
“I GOT TOO MUCH ATTENTION, SO NOW I’M NAVY STYLES.”
“I MISSED THE ATTENTION, SO I WENT ELECTRIC BLUE.”
“IDK… TEAL JUST MATCHES ALL MY BLACK OUTFITS.”
