Nicole Richie in a Long Dress at Noble Awards

Here’s petite mommy Nicole Richie, rocking a smokey eye and a long dress at Noble Awards this weekend.
As for her post-baby figure…
Nicole Richie is so determined to shift her post-pregnancy pounds, she’s turned to Halle Berry for inspiration!
The former Simple Life star — who gave birth to her second child, son Sparrow, earlier this month — reportedly keeps a photo of Berry pinned up in her kitchen.
Nicole apparently admires Halle for regaining her fabulous figure less than a month after giving birth to daughter Nahla in March 2008.
“Nicole would look at Halle’s photo and see how she was able to get her figure back in a matter of weeks and use that as an incentive,” a source told Australia’s NW magazine, adding that with Halle’s help, plus a sensible eating plan, Nicole has shed nine kilos since her son was born on September 9.
Well, Halle does look fabulous!
How do you like Nicole’s look at this event?

i think nicole has never looked healthier than being pregnant and post-pregnant. please nicole, don’t go back to your former anorexic self!
While I like the skinny physique on myself, I really reallllly don’t think it’s the best bodytype of all, and that everyone should do it, and most of all:
WHAT’S THE FREAKING HURRY?
After you have a baby, shouldn’t you concentrate on eating nutritious stuff so your milk is also nutritious? And even if you’re not breastfeeding, the hormonal $hitstorm that follows birth causes a lot of effed effects to a woman’s body (anemia, loss of calcium to the bones etc.), so frankly, any drastic loss of weight is even more dangerous then normally.
Besides, apart from the tummy (which is normal for goodness’ sake, the skin will regain elasticity in time, it’s not rubber) she looks SOOOOO much better. Every feature of hers is softened and that makes her look young (like, you know, she is).
Yep, agreed! I like that: hormonal sh*tstorm! Isn’t that the truth?!!!!
I think Nicole looks much better like this than skinny. She has lost that roundness (esp. in the face) that she had when she was younger, so she doesn’t look chubby with more pounds on, just healthy. She seems to have a bit of tummy and propably could be more toned as well, most women do want to get back in shape after pregnancy, but it means different things to diff. people. Halle as a role model could mean Nicole wants to be fit and slim, but i’m guessing she wants her tiiiiny skinny bod back.
i lke her very much! she’s so sweet!
i like her with this weight and when she was skinny.. she’s adorable!
Why the hell is this her priority??
Concentrate on your baby!!
Why can’t she do both? Health is a fairly reasonable priority. I don’t think she should go crazy and start extreme dieting, but eating healthy and moderate exercise is good for anyone.
First of all, dont believe everthing you read. Why would a source who knew she had a picture of Halle in her kitchen tell an AUSTRALIAN magazine?
She loooks great, love the darker hair on her.
She shouldn’t lose weight, she should tone up her body and would look fantastic. Although I think that she looks really good now, especially face-wise.
She looks pretty great! Her hair, make up and dress are all lovely. I think her weight is good and in 7 lbs time with a little bit of toning she will look perfect. She has a small frame so I always think it suits her to be slim.
She looks great! Really, no need to change her body..
the first thing i thought when i saw this picture was “oh, old nicole!”
she does look healthier but needs to tone up in the future. oh and her boobs arent caving in now!
i never really liked her. her face reminds me of a bird and always makes me cringe. she defines overrated. also first time i heard of her it was videos of her angry and chunky yelling and cussing at papparazzi out of a window and flashing people. idk. dont like her. dont get all mad guys this is just my opinion
as if she needs an inspiration..
i think she looks so pretty. i love that hair color.
lol she should just put old pics of herself on her fridge for inspiration, seriously!
LOL
she looks sensational!
Maybe she’s pregnant again? haha!
She has a very cute face – why does she have to ruin it with raccoon-eyes makeup? makes her look drugged up or something.
I’ve just never liked her. I don’t like her personality, I found her very pushy and over bearing on the simple life although apparently that was a fake persona and I don’t find her attractive either.
I think she looks great at this weight! She looks so much more substantial & more womanly and I also think her face looks better when it’s filled out a bit. Hopefully she just sticks to toning up a bit and not losing too much.
