Nicole Richie Went As A Disco Queen For Her B-Day

by Katharine McEntee

Steady your platforms, everyone: Nicole Richie dressed up like a disco queen to celebrate her birthday, and this will definitely provide some Halloween (or Friday night) inspiration for you. The 35-year-old rang in her birthday with a '70s themed party, and she looked nothing short of fabulous in a shimmering gold gown accompanied by high-volume hair.

Though her actual birthday was Sept. 21, Richie and friends turned out The Standard Hotel in West Hollywood on Sept. 23 for the celebration. Richie's glittering gold dress serving as the perfect uniform for the groovy throwback party, and her beauty look took the entire aesthetic to heights as high as the disco ball that was probably on the ceiling.

The designer and star of Candidly Nicole was joined by high profile friends like Jessica Alba, Rachel Zoe, Cameron Diaz, and Kate Hudson, all of whom were dressed in dazzling disco attire. They danced, they roller-skated, and they served some serious '70s fashion — even dad Lionel Richie showed up in gold.

And while the event seemed like a star-studded blast, Richie's look is what will really speak to your soul. Richie expertly paired the dress with voluptuous curls, heavily highlighted cheeks, and a bold silver eye.
