Nicole Richie: Maternity Wear Gone Wild

Nicole Richie (in Emilio Pucci) couldn’t look any more fabulous, stepping out in New York City on Wednesday afternoon dressed in a wild blue print mini with Teen Vogue employee BFF Carlos Lopez.

The four-months-pregnant socialite accessorized her patterned dress with a Givenchy bag, Christian Louboutin Mary Janes and Chanel sunglasses (Spring 2007, S5018 Black and Gradient Grey).

According to The National Enquirer, grandpa-to-be Lionel Richie surprised his daughter and her rocker boyfriend, Joel Madden, with a $2 million townhouse in the Century City area of Los Angeles.

“Lionel was overjoyed when Nicole told him that she was pregnant, and he’s been searching for the perfect baby git,” said an insider. “They were overwhelmed. All three of them cried happy tears over the phone. Lionel has vowed that even though he wasn’t around much as a parent, he’s going to be a dynamite granddaddy.”
