Nicole Richie Just Re-Created Her 2000s Outfits to Perfection

You caught us: We've been on a 2000s nostalgia kick lately. You can blame it on Paris Hilton, who recently reunited with her Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie and then asked her fans whether they think the show should come back (hint: they do). It also sparked our trip down memory line, where we revisited what the duo wore to a Britney Spears concert in 2001. Now, Richie herself is getting in on the action with her new throwback photo shoot for Paper magazine.
In the accompanying interview, Richie talks about how her current style has retained some elements of her Simple Life days. "I can't put my finger on exactly what it is but… I've always been attracted to color, to a certain drape, a certain fit," she told the magazine. "I'm never one to shy away from a headpiece. All of those things have stayed consistent, just different versions of them." Read on to see the epic photos from the shoot.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
