Nicole Richie premieres new mushroom haircut: cute or dated?


These are photos from the “AOL 2013 Digital Content NewFront” in NY last night. Nicole Richie and Sarah Jessica Parker have new shows premiering online with AOL On. Nicole Richie’s show will be a kind of reality show focusing on her life, and somehow based on her Twitter feed. The one clip I’ve seen, in which Nicole inquires about getting her tramp stamp tattoo removed, makes it seem more down-to-earth and less scripted than your average reality show. It’s called “#CandidlyNicole,” and you can see a clip here.

Nicole premiered a new hairstyle and color at last night’s event. It’s um, not cute on her and reminds me of hair I had in first grade when mushroom cuts were all the rage. The last time we saw her she didn’t have bangs and was sporting a very flattering collar-length blunt cut. Maybe those bangs are clip-in though, but the fancy kind that a stylist puts in. They do look a little fake to me, so I’m hoping Nicole can pop them off and go back to normal.

In terms of Nicole’s dress, I don’t have an ID on it but it’s very “Dynasty” with the shoulder pads, long sleeves with buttons and high neckline. The whole look is 70s, which is her vibe lately.

Also there was Sarah Jessica Parker, also in white but in a very cute, flattering white cap sleeve v-neck dress with a hemline just above the knee. I love that gold necklace and her hair and makeup are very well done. She looks great here! Have you noticed that she has her hands in her pockets in just about every photo? Maybe that story about her wanting to get some work done on her hands is accurate.

SJP has a new show called “City.Ballet,” a “docuseries” about the New York City Ballet. She explained to E! that she hopes the show will help promote the ballet to tourists. She also told E! that she doesn’t do phone calls anymore and just focuses on e-mail, which is what a lot of people do. But SJP also claimed that she doesn’t own a cell phone, then talked about checking her Blackberry. It was confusing to me. She said:

I don’t because I don’t like being behind in both phone calls and emails. So I chose emails because when you’re on a set you can carefully and sneakily check a BlackBerry, but you can’t return a phone call. Hearing ‘Your voicemail is full’ is horrifying to me.”

So maybe she means she doesn’t do phone calls, but the title and lead up claimed she didn’t own a cell phone. Isn’t a Blackberry a cell phone? No I get it, she doesn’t like taking calls anymore, but it’s not like she’s not accessible.

Oh did you see these new photos of SJP and Matthew Broderick out a couple of days ago holding hands? That’s rare, so I thought I might include them. Maybe things are picking up for these two.

    Nicole is rockin a haircut from the 70’s. Cool chick that she is!!

  2. jules says:

    I think it’s beyond just clip-on bangs… that looks a little wig-ish to me.

  3. Annie says:

    Someone feed these women. Seriously. Can’t believe they think they look great. They look so ridiculous. If I’m in my twenties and follow a crazy diet and I take one look at SJP, I would seriously get help immediately because I would not want to be 50 and still battling an ED. I would see that as my future and run far away from it. So nuch slavery to a body type that is not even flattering.

    • MCraw says:

      I think SJP looks great…

      And NR has had an eating disorder for years. Now she looks like Anna Wintour w the hair. Eek!

    • BooBooLaRue says:

      Agree with Annie and I am old! Nicole looks ancient with that doo and SJP just looks grey and gaunt and ill to me.

    • LadyJane says:

      Nicole has her anorexic hair and body back.

    • Me Three says:

      So true with both of them. First, who is Nicole Richie anyway? Don’t get why she’s even famous. She is so thin, her head looks oversized. SJP just makes me sad. I like her but she is sooooo thin. She would look so great if she’d just let herself gain 15 pounds. She looks much older because she’s so thin and almost gaunt looking

    I love her necklace! SJP is someone who I think, has really figured out what works for her with regards to her make up and hair color. I feel like she is the original ombré. Well, her and Gisele!
    I wonder who made that necklace? David Yurman?

  5. lucy2 says:

    Don’t like Nicole’s hair.
    SJP’s dress is pretty.

  6. Launicaangelina says:

    SJP looks good. I like the blazer she had over the white dress too.

  7. AmandaPanda says:

    I am almost sure that Nicole’s dress is Saint Laurent, because I have seen it online and I WANT IT.

    She looks awful though – the hair is not flattering and both the dress and the shoes are too big – why?

    SJP looks GAWJUS though. So soft and fresh.

    EDIT: yup, here it is:

    SJP looks like a malnourished homeless woman in the last two pics. Nicole was looking healthy for a while, now she looks thin and drawn. It ages her.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      She was the perfect weight like 4 or 5 months ago–what happened?

      She is SO small-framed, she really needs to keep a few lbs on her or she looks frail and old.

      I still really like her for some reason though….

  9. LoL says:

    Dated but she still looks cute.

  10. neelyo says:

    Nicole Richie has always resembled a Muppet and this hairstyle just emphasizes the similarity.

  11. nm says:

    Matthew Broderick looks like a middle-aged Harry Potter! Naww.

  12. Quinn says:

    No bueno, all around. They all look like they have raging osteoporosis.

    Nicole- you are no Krystal Carrington.

    And what the hell is the world coming to when Ferris Bueller is looking old? This should not be permissable.

  13. Eleonor says:

    Nicole, Anne Wintour wants her wig back.

  14. kim says:

    Bc of her frame the cut makes her loom like a granny…and not a sexy granny.

  15. truthful says:

    I can never erase those pics of me in a mushroom w/a beauty mole that I added on my cheek for my grammar school pics… but I will not re-live it EVER!!!

    I like SJP’s dress, simple but flattering. I’d wear it.

    • Alexa says:

      @ truthful – Your story about you adding a beauty mark to your face for your grammar school pic is flippin’ adorable! Thank you for making my day!

    • Annie2 says:

      Oh- that is funny! The stuff we did in grade school that we thought was cool……. They were called bowl cuts back in my day

  16. KellyinSeattle says:

    I’ve never understood why Nicole Richie is so famous…her dad is Lionel Richie but so what?

  17. Jia says:

    Her hair looks like pretty much any other long bob to me…I don’t get why everyone hates it so much.

  18. april says:

    I really like Nicole’s hair and dress. SJP’s hair looks too stringy.

  19. Barhey says:

    People always deserve second chances and Nicole has really taken advantage of hers. She went from a drug user with a bad reputation to a gorgeous, stylish woman and mother. So because of that I hate to throw shade at her, but I do have to say I think she is overly thin.

    There are a lot of women in Hollywood who are naturally genetically blessed or who work very hard and limit what they eat to maintain thinness. But Nicole’s is really extreme. She’s like on an Alexa Chung level right now. My sister is in treatment for a relapsed ED and I would say she’s the same size. Hopefully Nicole can find a good balance in the future.

    Nicole’s best look was that blunt cut bob with sideswept bangs. This is awful.
