Marchesa, Marchesa, Marchesa


Remember when Nicole Richie was all trashy and tacky on The Simple Life and was only viewed, at best, as Paris Hilton's (hilarious) sidekick?


Those days are gone.

Somewhere between then and now Nicole Richie became scary skinny, hung out with Rachel Zoe, became super boho chic trendy, dumped Zoe, stopped being scary skinny, hooked up with Joel Madden, had two babies, built a fashion empire, became an "author" and really emerged as the star of her BFF's reality show. Meanwhile, Paris is mainly known for stuff like this.

Nicole and Joel got married over the weekend and, I must admit, she looked stunning. Apparently, the wedding took place in the backyard of Lionel Richie's Hollywood hills home, which was transformed to look like a french garden with tents and flowers galore. Daddy Richie also surprised the bride with an actual ELEPHANT - apparently, she's wanted an elephant at her wedding (for good luck) since she was a little girl. Well, now I'm just jealous.

The bride wore not one, not two but THREE Marchesa gowns throughout the evening. I don't know about her other two dresses, but the one in the photo they released is stunning. I'm obsessed with the skirt. Of course all that tulle may not compliment everyone, but Nicole (and her itty-bitty frame) definitely pulls it off. I also love the lace bodice. The combination of the the long sleeves and high neck, paired with a classic chignon and minimal jewelry is perfect (has someone been reading WB?). The dress feels vintage and feminine, which makes it 100% Nicole Richie.

Rumor has it that Paris was not invited to the wedding. Scandalous.
