Nicole Richie will appear as a guest judge on the seventh season premiere of Lifetime’s Project Runway.

“Nicole is a fabulous guest judge,” says Runway executive producer Sara Rea. “She has strong opinions and gives clear and specific constructive criticism to the designers. Also, she isn’t afraid to disagree with the other judges.”

Project Runway premieres Thursday, Jan. 14 @ 10PM on Lifetime.

Nicole Richie ditched her blonde locks to unveil a new brunette look at her House of Harlow 1960 Holiday Collection jewelry launch at the weekend — and the chocolate locks already has the party girl-turned-serious mom’s I.Q. rising:

“I went brunette. I feel smarter already,” Nicole Tweeted Sunday.

Nicole Richie was seen at the Roxy over the weekend with absolutely no signs of any baby weight on her!

Nicole took her little sister (and was accompanied by long-term love Joel Madden) to see the Selena Gomez concert. Looking at her in this little black outfit you would really never guess that she gave birth to son Sparrow less than a month ago!

Nicole took to Twitter after the show, saying ““Took my little sister to see @selenagomez 1st show; or she took me…”

I can’t believe how quickly Nicole lost the extra pregnancy pounds!

We already knew that Nicole Richie was designing a maternity line of clothing for A Pea in the Pod, which is pretty handy since she’s pregnant herself – who better than to create beautiful clothes that are comfortable on a pregnant body? Plus, she can just model them herself, bonus!

I think her clothes are really cute. I especially like the black outfit (so many maternity clothes are frilly and bright – something you just want to wear black, you know?) and this one:

Nicole told People.com “You really feel like you have to change your whole wardrobe. And that’s the last thing a woman wants to go through. So I really tried to make this line to get women excited about wearing clothes. I think the pregnant body is beautiful, and I think you should show it off!”

What do you think?

Nicole Richie is well known for looking amazing while pregnant; in fact during her first pregnancy it was the first time I ever really admired her style and beauty. And now she can help the rest of us too with her new maternity line.

Nicole has announced that she’s teaming up with A Pea in the Pod to create her own maternity fashion line. The company is thrilled to be working with her and hopes to have the new collection available in stores by August.

She’s already had some nice success with the jewelry she created for her company House of Harlow and she’s so stylish, this should be a walk in the park for her!

Nicole Richie was glowing as she stood alongside rocker Pete Wentz to promote their lines in Los Angeles.

Naturally Nicole was there for her jewelry line, House of Harlow, while Pete was promoting Clandestine Industries,his clothing line.

Nicole makes pregnancy look so easy and glamorous with her black clingy maternity shirt and pants – and she tosses out the idea that pregnant women don’t handle balance well by strutting around on a seriously killer pair of stilettos.

HOT shoes for sure!

Nicole Richie might have a lot on her plate but she always seems to have time for more, including perfume promotion.

Nicole arrived at the Byron & Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills. She was given a bottle of perfume – it’s kind of a weird bottle, isn’t it? – and was escorted inside. No one seems to know what the promotional event was for, but I’m sure we’ll hear details soon.

One thing I love about Nicole is that she doesn’t let pregnancy turn her into a frumpy flowery maternity girl. She still has the same funky style that suits her so well, and I think that helps people realize that you can still be YOU when you’re pregnant.

Nicole Richie was glowing as she launched her House of Harlow 1960 Jewelry Collection in Miami.

The launch was held at Ida and Harry at Fontainebleau, and Nicole looked stunning in a vintage turquoise maxi-dress.

Meanwhile, her Baby Daddy Joel Madden has changed up his appearance by bleaching his hair blond and I kind of like it!

Motherhood is seriously the best thing that could have happened to Nicole. She looks better than she used to when she was hanging out with Paris Hilton 24/7 and she’s much more interesting now too.

Nicole Richie looked stunning at Holt Renfrew in Toronto as she promoted her House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line.

Nicole showed off her early pregnancy curves in a beautiful black and gold sweater dress. Her line will be available for purchase for Canadians exclusively at Holt Renfrew.

Any Canadians out there planning to purchase anything from Nicole Richie’s House of Harlow line?

Wow! Nicole Richie was out and about in Beverly Hills, getting some shopping done, and she looked fantastic and pulled together too!

The red coat over the skinny jeans, the knit cap, the incredible Christian Louboutin shoes, the whole look is fabulous!

In other news, Nicole is gunning for a part on the season finale of Gossip Girl – if the arrangements are made, then we’ll get to see even more great Nicole style because we all know how amazing the fashion is on the GG set!
