It’s not unusual for stars to touch down in the City of Light for a few days of shows during Paris Fashion Week. But Nicole Richie took that commitment to a new level last night—flying in and out of Paris in a single day to take in Anthony Vaccarello’s spring 2025 Saint Laurent collection. “If there is one reason I would fly to Paris for 24 hours, it’s to go to the Saint Laurent show,” Richie tells Vogue. “Every season I look forward to seeing what Anthony creates. And I know I’m in for a fun night.”
Richie certainly chose of the best (and most star-studded) events to partake in this week: She sat front row alongside Rosé, Kate Moss, Zoe Kravitz, and Gwyneth Paltrow. As Vaccarello’s slouchy suits and colorful laces came down the runway, Richie pinpointed more than a few looks that she’d like to slip into. “I loved the color palette of marigolds and emerald greens mixed in with the golds,” says Richie. “The suiting was perfect.” A longtime lover of the 1970s and anything bohemian, Richie says Vaccarello’s pieces are perfectly suited for her own wardrobe. “Saint Laurent oozes a sexy and sophisticated coolness with touches of the ’70s,” she says. “It’s elegance and edge. I’ve been wearing YSL for as long as I can remember—both new and vintage.”
It’s only natural, then, that Richie put much thought and care into her front-row outfit. For a glamorous evening feel, she chose the label’s satin olive-green mini dress, paired with a big faux fur coat. “I fell in love with [the dress] immediately,” says Richie. “It’s timeless, sexy, and sophisticated.” For accessories, Richie further leaned into the classics, via slingbacks and gold jewelry accents. “I am loving the oversized chunky gold jewelry,” she says. “It reminds me of the vintage YSL jewelry that I own from the ’70s.” (Talk about a covetable jewelry box.)
Though fashion was the theme of the night, we couldn’t resist asking Richie about her upcoming projects—namely, that mysterious Simple Life reunion she’s been filming with Paris Hilton. “We just finished shooting the reunion special. We laughed our way through shooting,” says Richie. “We wanted to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of working together, and give people a side of us they haven’t seen. Expect a bit of a prequel—our origin story, mixed with an opera. That’s right. I said what I said.”
Below, a closer look at how Richie spent her 24 hours in Paris.
