Nicole Richie is one of the most iconic women of the early aughts. I don’t think it’s dramatic to say she had a hand in raising me as a child and now, she’s celebrating her 40th birthday which feels… criminal. When did we get so old? Wasn’t it just yesterday I was binge-watching The Simple Life on my family’s tube TV?
Well, it seems nature can’t believe it either because Nicole literally caught on fire at her birthday celebration.
