Nicole Richie Is Skinny (Again)
May 20th, 2008 by Rian | Filed under Nicole Richie, Skinny Celebrities.Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotted out walking Harlow around in a stroller the other day.

She is definitely looking very skinny again… perhaps it’s the Spanx she is reported to wear all the time, or maybe she really has lost all of her baby weight.










she looks skinny but not as skinny as she used to be. i think she looks pretty healthy actually. she’s just a petite girl.
Not too bad looking.
Love her and 1st!!
Crap still love her and 2nd
I think she looks great!!
what i don’t get is how she used to be so thick and now apparently, this is her size. i don’t think she is a naturally small, petite girl so much so as that she makes sure she stays that weight/size.
she looks fabulous and thin, she should NOT lose anymore or she’ll look sickly.
and i beg to differ about the above comment, she’s NOT naturally thin…pre-eating disorder, she was chubby…. when she’s not worrying about weight/calories, she is not a naturally thin girl.
I don’t think she looks too skinny here at all, this looks like a great weight for her. Very slim, yes, but she still has a nice curve.
I think she looks really good! She is tiny & the only thing that looks bigger post-pregnancy are her boobs.
She’s not skinny at all. She looks normal.
Love her! But she’s wearing a Spanx
Deff not too skinny. Looks great.
a bit on the skinny side considering how recently she gave birth
i never see her eating, i only see her with a cup of coffee glued to her hand–that cant be healthy for the baby
Hate the stroller. Looks like they’ve put a safetyseat for babies in cars on top of a zimmer frame… Ugly
While she looks really thin for just having had a baby, I don’t think she looks “Hollywood thin.” I even think she looks average thin for the random person you by on a regular basis.
And regardless of what a normal weight is for her, she is both petite and small-boned, so I doubt a high weight is natural for her either.
When she was at her heaviest I don’t think she was taking care of herself, (just as she likely wasn’t at her thinnest).
Right now seems like an appropriate median weight here IMO.
I think she looks great!
This are the facts: there are pics of her as a child and a teen and shes skinnyyyyyy ….then the world met her FAAAT right after rehab she lost the weight and i think what happenned is that she got carried away ..ED or not losing weight becomes an addiction THRUST ME!…
so she’s bouncing back to her previous weight …natural fat women don’t have it that easy …we haven’t seen her out in the gym and stuff … nicole is a confident girl and she’s a lot more madure now …so i belive her when she says her fat days were the fase…i adore her and hopefully she stays okay weight loss can mess with your head …but i dont think she was ever ana and even if she was she’s definatly healthy now
i think she looks hotter a little bit thinner than here but im not judging
Don’t want to sound weird but she has boobs now!!
She looks soo much better, hopefully do to her pregnancy and child she will stay healthy!
I think she looks thin but not as skinny as she did pre-baby. She looks thin but heathy.
I think she looks thin but not as skinny as she did pre-baby. She looks thin but heathy.
she is Gorgeous and is definitley not wearing spanx
I would love to look like that.
Thin, but not skinny.
She looks like she’s lost a bit since being pregnant, but still kept on enough of it not to be the scary skinny girl she used to be.
This is thin, but vast improvement over a year or so ago.
Spanx, PLEASE! I am a size 2 and I bought the smallest spanx and they were too big - I had to get them altered to fit me. I don’t buy all these SKINNY celebs that say they wear them. They don’t want to be honest and say that they starve themselves, they want you to think that they are just good at hiding the extra fat.
Give it a break…she is not THAT skinny…
i love nicole!
she looks fantastic weight wise at the moment, and it’s nice to see her looking relaxed and dressing appropriately, unlike say christina!
love her
not too skinny at all, she looks good
She’s looking really good!!
I admire her!
She’s my inspiration!
Yes bre, I’m with you on the spanx being too big. I am underweight but sometimes have a very bloated tummy–and so I was hopping I could grab some spanx for a fitted formal dress in case I was bloated on the day I had to wear the dress. The small spanx were actually baggy. Unless they make some kind of xxxs just for celebs that the Bloomingdales by my house doesn’t carry, I think many celebs are full of it on naming spanx as their godsend!!!
I think she looks great (and I’ve never been a fan). In fact, face-wise and body-wise she looks the best I’ve seen her. She looks fantastic in her jeans. Pefect. She just can’t lose any more weight or she will go to skeletal. Stay where you are.
Awww, Nic looks cute. She doesn’t need to be stick-thin. She looks nice just how she is. Stick-skinny is out.
Baby’s daddy needs lipo under chin.
Nicole looks great.
i just hope she doesn’t keep on losing weight because she looks fine now, amazing actually for someone who just gave birth.
awwww, ♥ her & the fam!
Nicole looks great!
how in the world did she do that? how awesome! She looks great
I also love her. She is so hilarious. This weight looks perfect on her. Even better now that her chest is bigger!
Yeah, she’s not fat enough for Spanx to make an appreciable difference in her body…all it would do would be to smooth her out a bit.
I can believe that this weight is around her body’s natural weight. I used to be really heavy too, but since I’ve gotten healthier, my body’s settled at a much lower weight. The theory that everyone has a “set point” is kind of bogus…obese people claim their “set point” is 250 lbs; give me a break, people. Sometimes you’re just fat because you aren’t living a healthy lifestyle and Nicole used to be a major party girl…she probably used to drink a lot and that’s why she was a little chubbier before.
she’s thin, but her pants are too small, she has ‘muffin top’
I can’t tell if it’s just the shirt or if her pants are a little tight around the waist. either way she looks great and should stay at this weight.
just have an interesting story about Ms.Richie…I live in a somewhat small town (annapolis, md). Its pretty much unheard of to see celebrities. Anyways my BF works at this cool restaurant, and one night a few weeks ago, he calls me and says, guess what Nicole Richie and her man are here. He waited on them. Its a sushi place. Of course I asked what they ate. He said they ate a ton of sushi, and like, 6 bottles of sake, BUT they were in a big group of people, so…
just a little interesting tidbit. By the time I ended up there they had left. Apparently her BF (joel is it?) and Good Charlotte are from this area not too far from ours, and thats why they were there visiting his fam.
Love her, love her, love her! This outfit is not over the top, yet it isn’t too plain either! I love it! This is something I’d wear! In fact, 9 out of 10 times I can be found in this type of get-up! I love her style!!! I like her breasts in photo 4.
She look gorgeous and this looks like a good, healthy weight for her.
actually, I think she’s looking pretty good here. Comfortable in her skin, and definately not too skinny for her frame. Sure, she’s petite and very slim, but she’s looking a lot healthier around the edges than she did before she got pregnant. Hope she keeps it!
Nicole looks thin, but not overly so. I think she looks gorgeous here!
Bre, if you are a size 2, then why would you even need/wear Spanx?
she looks fine! i dont know why she thinks she needs spanx either.. she seems just to be a lucky petite girl.. ugh bitch
But she has hips now!!! Looking skinny, but healthier. She looks good
I think Nicole looks good. This is a good weight on her. I hope she keeps it.
On the aside, I was wondering the same thing about certain posters — if someone is underweight or a size 2, why would they wear spanxs?? Would wearing spanxs make a notable difference? I’m a size 4, and I’ve been told I have “no tummy,” even with some natural bloatness. Thus, I find those comments bizarre, that’s all.
i think she looks very good. still a little heavier than pre-baby but she is working on it hard, you can tell
SHE’S NOWHERE AS SKINNY AS SHE WAS LIKE 2 YEARS AGO.
PLEASE STOP CRITICISING HER.
SHE’S ADORABLE!
she looks fabulous. this is the PERFECT weight for her. shes glowing. loove her to death.
She’s not as skinny as before. I think she looks good here.
wow…. I hope when I have kids I turn out looking as good as her afterwards!
I agree with those who say she’s not naturally skinny. She was F A T for years and that, it seems to me, is her natural body type. Afraid of the future, she works overtime at being skinny and has a tendency to take dieting too far.
She really looks good here.
As far as the Spanx goes, she may not be quite as firm as pre-baby yet, and Spanx does help under pants and dresses. We’ll see what she really looks like in shorts and bikinis soon enough. Personally, I bet she’s firm and doesn’t wear Spanks, but that just a guess.
She’s perfect. Just perfect.
She’s a small girl but she looks to be at a very healthy weight for size right now. Perfect I would say.
agree with laura. boobs look great.
she looks grat all over. way to get it together girl :-]
Correct she is not naturally thin. She was a chub the entire time she was on that show with Paris. I use to feel sorry for her being next to tall thin Paris. She looked really bad next to her.
But what really turned me off was her gutter mouth. Every other word was a curse word. Very low class. I would be ashamed if I were her. Maybe she has matured and gotten a more diverse vocabulary since having a child. Certainly hope so.
She had her baby a month after I had mine. And I lost all my baby weight super quick from breastfeeding and i have that soft area on my hips still and i can see that so does she. She looks great and breastfeeding helps. But I highly doubt shes firm, its impossible to be FIRM 5 months after having a baby. Your skin isn’t able to tighten up like that. That takes more work!
I disagree, I believe that nicole does eat right now, when she was so called chubby by hollywood standards, she ate like crap, taco bell, Mac Donalds, pizza, you name it.
I think she is naturally thin, but she sometimes takes it too far…diet wise when she was super skinny
To the people saying she was once fat(on The Simple Life)…that was when she was straight out of rehab which people commonly gain weight from. I’m not saying she’s naturally the 80 pounds she was pre-pregnancy, but she’s not naturally her post-rehab weight either. And that was what, 5 or 6 years ago? I’m sure her weight would naturally even out since then.
i love her shades!!! does anyone know where is it from?
she looks fantastic!
i adore her.
Leah- I agree with every word you said. Good post.
She looks very good. Very hot and healthy looking. Supposedly she was always a skinny girl. Naturally thin, not fat. She had gained weight after rehab before A Simple Life. She is probably skinny naturally..
However, I don’t get how people complain if a girl 5′2″ is 105 pounds naturally without dieting is healthy, but a girl 5′2″ who diets to 105 pounds, must be starving herself, anorexic and unhealthy. Doesn’t make sense to me.
On regards to my comment before about Spanx. yes I am a size two but I used to be a size 12 and so I have a little extra stomach. Plus, when I am bloated it REALLY shows on me. by BMI standards, I’m not underweight but when I am wearing a formal dress (like for all these weddings I have to attend this summer), I like to have a flat stomach.
I ordered mine from Spanxs.com and they were the smallest size. when someone like Tyra Banks says she wears them I believe her but I’ve read about skinny celebs like Amanda Bynes wears them and there just is NO way.
perfect bod. love her so hilar and to those of you who claim she is “not classy” who cares? shes funny get over yourselves.
Hey Lindah- it should be Linduh. The reason the stroller “looks like a safetyseat for babies in cars” is because it is a safety seat. The whole point is that if your baby falls asleep in it’s carseat you don’t have to wake it up. You just snap the whole seat off the base that is buckled into your car. Then you can can carry it inside, or in this case, snap it into the stroller base. It is actually a fantastic idea.
It’s so weird seeing her with boobs!
They make her not look so skinny skinny. I think she looks good.
Regardless of the weight issue, if it’s coffee in the cups she’s always carrying around it can be harmful to her baby. That’s if she’s breastfeeding.
Cute feet!
she looks great!
jjj - you don’t make any sense. people are first of all not complaining, but bringing attention to the fact that someone is unnaturally thin. everyone has different natural body weights, dictated by genes and impacted further by lifestyle. the criteria for anorexia nervosa is not only based on your absolute weight relative to your height, but the relative weight loss to your starting weight. if a girl who is 5′2″ started off at 150 pounds and lost to 105 pounds, that’s almost 33% of her weight. that’s why people would call her an anorectic.
Darling, She Has Always Been Skinny. . .
She looks healthy, good for someone who just had a child. Now if her thighs was the size of her calves and her arm was the same size as her wrist…then too thin!!
ok, now I really hate her and her excellent post-baby figure and full lactating boobies. Grrrrrrr….
She is looking reeeaaally good.
She’s getting really skinny again, let’s hope she doesn’t take it too far.
she looks good. not too thin like she was before pregnancy. and it’s good that she gained some boobs, her hollow chest was scary.
i think she looks great and healthy
shes obviously small boned but she looks way better now.
thin and normal
A few years back she was still addicted to drugs. She had major alcohol use and used to get burgers and fastfood in the middle of the night before she got to sleep (she talked about it once to explain her weight loss). App she got on a healtier diet (no denying she might have gotten overboard a few years) and got to rehab.
xx
Her body is perfekt, she looks cute, but why does she wear that boooring clothes? Isn`t she famous for her great styling?
I think she looks great here. She’s so lucky to be so petite. You can tell when she’s too skinny by her breast bone showing through her skin and you can’t see that here.
got to agree with a comment above i to think stick skinny may finally be out!
and yes she looks great
She’s hot!
She definately has more boob now and she’s looking healthier: not too skinny, just small…
i think she used 2 starv her self 4 attention but now that she has a bf and a daughter 2 give her love i dont think she will go back 2 her sooper dooper skinny frame………….she looks good
♥
I don’t think she’s too skinny.She looks great.I hope she won’t become a walking scheleton again.
I think she looks fine. Don’t forget, she’s growing older as well. When she was chubby in her Simple Life days she was a lot younger and a lot was just “baby fat”.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that there’s something wrong when women who are a size 2 need SPANX.
i think she is just right size now!!!!!
she looks nice and thin, but i wouldn’t call her skinny. like the boobs on her.
as for size 2 wearing spanx, when you are very thin if you get bloated it shows a lot because you have no fat on your stomach to cover it up. so it definitely makes sense.
she’s def healthy, thin but not overly so…I guess she’s about 10 lbs heavier than last year and she has boobs,wow!!
she is skinny- there’s no denying it.
BUT
i still think she looks healthy. you can see that she’s reasonably curvy, as she has a waist and boobs.
nowhere near as small as she was at her scarily skinny weight. i think she looks great!
agree with blaba- every comment
so not scary skinny. she looks HEALTHY!
Lovelove*^^*Nicole!
She is Perfect !
She always looks so great, its kind of annoying!
Agree with who? ha! Pictures of Nicole as a kid and even into late teens show her as skinnyyyyyyyyyy!
She did put on extra weight after her rehab stay and went directly onto that Simple Life Show with Paris and she started losing weight while the shows were going on and just never stopped losing the weight by whatever means she claims to have used to become so stick-like.
She looks GREAT here in these pics. I hope she maintains her weight around where she is currently. I doubt that she will, though. Once she stops breast feeding and loses her boobs, she’ll be a stick again! She will have a great built-in EXCUSE because she can CLAIM that chasing a baby around keeps her extra skinny. By the time Harlow is a year old or so and is toddling around/ walking…Nicole will be a stick!
PERFECTION!
ew she’s like a skinny fat, though.
Nicole is a vile filthy nasty nasty sksnk.
She looks almost perfect! Adorable. Skinny, but still has a little curve.
Don’t lose a pound, Nicole! Way to go!
(Joel BETTER not be cheating on her with that skanktastic Lohan or else…)
Did she have a nose job a while ago? She actually looks pretty now.
She looks so beautiful and healthy!
she looks great!! I love it nicole!!
EHM WHAT?!? she’s nowhere NEAR skinny!! I mean seriously, for real. not fat or chubby or even near that either, but seriously to try to state she’s even near skinny is so so…SO wrong.
She looks great, but should be more skinny.
She looks fabulous. Boob Envy!!!
She looks fabulous. Boob Envy!!!
this’s just about right. I think she looks way way better than before her pregnancy. but pls don’t lose anymore weight!!!
Umm skinny fat??? She just had a baby! You guys r so dumb. And why does she need t be skinnier? So u can talk about her again. WHatever.
She looks perfect at this weight! Not as skinny as before, just slim and gorgeous!
she looks hot!
I think she looks really good–she looks normal and healthy for her height and build.
I’m glad to hear about Spanx–I was thinking of getting a pair, but kept finding terrible reviews on them so I decided to go w/Flexees–I haven’t gotten them yet so we’ll see….
she looks the low side of normal…
i think she looks good…i just don’t think that the big boobs fit her.
i know they’re from pregnancy & all that jazz, & they’l most likely go down after breast feeding. i just think she looks way better with smaller boobs. stick thin with big boobs looks…wonky.
she looks good regardles. she always looks good.
skinny fat?!not at all she looks beautifull like she should
I was a size 00, I was very proud of it. Now I have a toddler son. I have more to my life than food, calories and BMI. I weigh SO much more than I ever thought I would be happy with. My child has demanded that I weigh more in order to be able to carry him and all his STUFF around. I feel sorry for Nicole and all SKINNY/EMATICATED bodies who give up so much to even carry their child. I think, YOU GO GIRL!
shes been A LOT skinnier than that before!
nicole has a great shape and is super cute.
She isn’t wearing spanx. That’s stupid to even say. She’s always been thin. And she probably has lost all of her baby weight because she didn’t have much to begin with. She looks great. Jealousy much?
THANK YOU blahbla in regards to the Spanx.
As I mentioned before, I am underweight but looked for Spanx to push in a possible *bloated* tummy. You can be very underweight and still get an extraordinarily bloated tummy from time to time. It’s not a matter of needing the spanx for “fat,” but for bloat. Hence the need for Spanx when you’re smaller than a 2.
i think she should lose some more weight. she looked really beautuful super skinny.
Her tits look amazing!!
i dnt think shes skinny as before… anyways, finalla a NR post!
finally
she looks…petite…she and I have almost exactly the same figure right now(tho I need to tone up)
x
She looks great.This is probably the healthiest I’ve ever seen her in photos.
What’s up with her toe in that first picture? Anyway she looks healthy to me. Thin but not overly so.
She looks good now, maybe it’s the boobs that make her look healthy.
Nice Toes!!!!!!!!
she looks super gorgeous…love her big, little, preggers, whatever, she is my fave. and she glows and carries herself with confidence and class no matter what size she is.
she’s so cute! and she’s def not too skinny, i can see she’s still got her boobs.
what i wouldn’t give to be as small-boned as she is!

“Yeah, she’s not fat enough for Spanx to make an appreciable difference in her body…all it would do would be to smooth her out a bit.”
So you have to be fat to wear Spanx? That’s a little harsh. There are women who are a 6 and wear Spanx, and a 6 is by no means “fat”. A size 6 might be larger than you are, but that doesn’t mean women who are that size are “fat”.
“I can believe that this weight is around her body’s natural weight. I used to be really heavy too, but since I’ve gotten healthier, my body’s settled at a much lower weight. The theory that everyone has a “set point” is kind of bogus…”
So you say that her body has a “set point” but anyone else’s “set point” that may be higher makes it bogus? No one’s natural weight is 250 pounds just like no one’s natural weight is 80 pounds (unless he or she is like, 4′5 inches tall.) The reality of the situation is that most people fall into a bell curve distribution of weight. There are fewer people with a low natural body weight than with an average, middle healthy body weight. Sure those people exist, but they’re few and far between. When you have more weight on your body, it’s harder for your body to do it’s job efficiently. When you have less weight on your body (especially if you’re -10 pounds or more from where you should be), you begin to lose bone density, you begin to lose muscle, etc etc etc. VERY few people’s bodies can function properly at her weight, and I highly doubt that she’s any different. There’s no sparkle to her eyes and when she talks it seems to take more effort for her to be sitting there, paying attention to the conversation than it would most people. Even if you’re eating 1200 calories a day, it’ll catch up with you.
If Nicole is 5′2, she should be about 110. She appears to weigh around 100. As many stars do, she’s straddling the line between too thin and normal. Being introduced when she was and next to uber-thin Paris Hilton probably screwed with her psyche and now she keeps her weight a few pounds under what it should be.
Regardless, try to not be so harsh. It’s offensive to those of us who aren’t a size 2 to be called fat simply because we’re at a weight they make Spanx to fit, even if it’s perfectly healthy.
I think she looks great that size! It suits her frame and she’s quite short. She looks much better this size than she does stick thin, but something tells me she will get skinnier again. Which is stupid
come on she’s not too skinny!!!!
she looks just normal…
I think she looks great! I dont think shes wearing Spanx or anything either. My best friend has her same type of body and just had her 3rd little boy and already looks like shes never even had one. She is just very healthy and also lucky enough to have great genes. I on the other hand am not..hahaahhaa
Nicole looks great, a perfect weight for her height. She seems to have lost nearly all her baby weight very quickly. Glad to see she isnt flashing her boobs like Christina or Angelina..She seems to have grown up since having Harlow. I can’t see her staying this weight for long though,she will probably return to her scary skinny ways soon,which is a pity.
I think she looks great… especially with the breastfeeding boobies.
BUT i think most people on this post would be shocked if they saw her in real life as to how thin she actually is. But she looks really great.
I think she looks pretty good right now - but if she gets any thinner she’s gonna look sickly again. I hope she is trying to keep a healthier lifestyle now…for Harlow’s sake.
healthyisbeautiful-
You being up a number of excellent points–however I think, (though I haven’t reread the posts), that by fat, most people mean fat by hollywood standards–and that most celebs aren’t hollywood “fat” enough (by this unrealistic standard for most women) to fit into spanx–not–that only fat people (in general) can fit into spanx.
If Nichole did weight 110 as you suggest she would likely be fat by Hollywood standards–and would likely fit into Spanx–even though she would only be nearing the middle of the healthy weight range that most health professionals use.
In short–spanx might equal Fat for Hollywood, (and thus people hear are calling BS on celebs said reliance on them), but spanx as fat for the rest of the world and a healthy body: not even close!
I didn’t mean to sound harsh, but what I meant wasn’t that anyone who needs Spanx is “fat”, it’s just that if you are a fairly thin person, Spanx don’t make you 3 sizes smaller or anything…they just smooth you out. What I was getting at was that people who say celebs look so skinny b/c of Spanx are overestimating their power.
And I’m not saying that a weight of 80 lbs is healthy, but I get annoyed with people who claim that they can’t lose weight because they’re “naturally big-boned” or whatever. You can change your weight if you want to, but if you go too low, you do mess with your body’s hormone levels and your body will fight to gain some weight back. I’m guessing that Nicole was struggling pretty hard to maintain the 82 lbs or whatever the heck she weighed before getting pregnant, but now she looks a lot healthier.
This just proves that she does have a fast metabolism. Pregnancy or not.
She looks awesome and I agree with Karly. She was bigger on the Simple Life (the first season) because she gained wiehgt after rehab.
she’s noway 110 lbs…I guess about 100..
Does anyone know what Brand of JEANS she is wearing?????????????
She looks freaking awesome!!!!
Love her, she looks thin but not overly so.
Wish my jeans looked like that on me!!!!!!!!!
They look like Paige Premium Denim
For some reason, the second picture makes her look like she has an abnormally small elf ear. Maybe it’s the oversized sunglasses?
she at such a great and health looking weight for her frame i mean shes only petite so i personally think a low wight suits her just as long as shes not gonna go all gaunt and ill looking again.
I think she looks just right - skinny but not too skinny. Nice bum she’s got too!
This weight is good for her. She looks great.
I sooo love her.
She’s my insperation.
This weight is perfect for her frame and height.
im a huge fan of nicole richie.
i love here personality,sense of humor,and most of all her beauty.
i think her thinness is lovely.
she is true thinsperation.
Wow. I’ve never seen her look better! She’s slim, but not too thin, she’s finally got curves (while still being slim) - bigger breasts and some hips, plus she just plain look awesome. =)
