2010 Oscars

Nicole Richie @ 2010 Oscars

Nicole Richie @ 2010 Academy Awards

This is probably one of the bolder makeup looks I’ve seen tonight.  It reminds me of MAC’s Colour Ready promo, actually.

Love it or hate it?

See the dress!

    I love it! Nicole Richie has always been a makeup inspiration for me. I absolutely love the dress as well.

  2. Evelyn

    It’s a very vintage look all around. I like it but I think it’s a touch aging on her.

  3. Wow, her makeup looks amazing! The hair looks too gelled for me, though. I miss the blonde!

  4. Pkb

    she looks stunning here, head to toe! her eye colour is so unusual, it’s awesome!

  5. Tiffany S.

    To be honest, I think it looks garish and not glamourous or beautiful.

  6. Stephy

    I love it!

  7. mary007

    Me no like it!

  8. Stacia

    I love the hair and makeup, Audrey Hepburn look. However I think the dress consumes her, is overpowering and takes away from her beautiful face.

  9. claudia

    Wow, I love it !

  10. Alix

    Awful dress, awful makeup. And why is she even here?

  11. Alicia

    love the mod eye. I adore her especially lately!

  12. Lorna

    i like the makeup but the dress looks too heavy and i know she is super skinny.

  13. I love it! If you’re not nominated for anything, why be boring? The eye is amazing.

  14. Alexis

    I love how she looks!! She always does the “natural” thing so it’s nice to see something bold. And it looks great. She has the eyes to pull it off.

  15. sinead

    i love her eyeshadow. the color of her eyes are so unique.

  16. Love! Love her makeup…edgy!

  17. Heather

    Love the b@llsy makeup and the dress! She doesn’t look like everyone else, which is a good thing!

  18. liana

    Love this look, the dress and make-up is so unique.

  19. sf

    she kind of looks like a bird…i think its a bit too dark for the Oscars

  20. Ryan

    This look is all around fabulous and by far the best tonight. I am so impressed and stunned i cant… I cant stop looking! I MUST know the designer!!! She also had the perfect makeup on… edgy to go with the dress, and also the color tied everything together. From the headshot it seems that the entire dress is made of sequins… im going to die!!!

  21. Sasha B

    i wouldn’t want this knight to save me.

  22. christi

    I am *in love* with her makeup! Stunning!

  23. Elysia

    Finally someone with eccentric make-up! Maybe it’s just me, but i’d be sportin’ something crazy if I were at an awards ceremony!

  24. Iya

    I love her dress

  25. Very cute, her face is kind of quirky so I think this really works for her.

  26. Sonja

    My first thought was it is too old for her but after looking at it again…I kind of like it. I still think it is a more mature dress but I think her make up and hair go with it perfectly. The dress itself is very stylish and it is kind of nice to see something different. I think she is really coming into her own.

  27. Kalee

    “It reminds me of MAC’s Colour Ready promo, actually.”

    AHAHA i thought of that as SOON as i saw this picture. just without the green. lol

  28. Kate

    This is one of my least favorite dress of the evening. She looks pretty, though. Like her hair and makeup.

  29. A softer up-do would have made her look more youthful but I think she is going for sophisticated, sexy and grown up and it totally works!

  30. I love her make up! I wish I was able to wing my eyeliner like that. Sadly I don’t like her dress :(

  31. Ann

    That reminds me of Christina Aguilera’s Keeps Gettin’ Better MV makeup

  32. pquanda

    Makeup is bomb on her. Nicole has killer eyes!

  33. pquanda

    Not a fan of how her liner wore off so much more on her left eye versus her right. The brows are horrendous!

  34. Carrie

    Yikes. I don’t like that look at all. I don’t think it’s very flattering.

  35. I love the look! I think she looks gorgeous. Does anyone notice her extensions on the top of her hair? Or is that something else??

  36. Cindy

    Pretty makeup but her dress looks like a futuristic Mrs.Roper outfit in the making.

  37. Alexis

    christine, what do you think would be a good color dupe for the color on her lid? also do you think it’s the same as the highlight color? thanks a lot!

  38. Hilana

    Her make-up is super sexy, but I miss the blonde hair. I like the dress, but I think it would have been nice if she showed a bit more flesh. I don’t know what this dress looks like from behind, but I think it could work if it was cut really, really low and showed a lot of her back.
    Not my favourite look ,but not the worst either.

  39. sandrine

    One of my favorite looks of the night. Love the retro make up and dress.

  40. Interesting eye make-up. Not sure I like the whole cat-eye thing going there, but.. it’s better than her dress. Nothing flattering about it at all. :<

  41. Dana

    this was a daring look to wear to the oscar’s..

  42. Mya

    I love this dress! I think she is probably one of the very few that can pull it off. Not liking the hair and makeup though:(

  43. Emm

    Honestly she looks Egyptian with the dress, hair and makeup. For a red carpet she looks too halloween and less herself.

  44. condesa

    Stunning eyes! perfect makeup; terrible dress.

  45. Michelle

    I wish they would have picked a hairstyle that better hid her crimp-in hair extensions. They are REALLY obvious in the closeup shots. The makeup look is different and something a bit more adventurous than many of the other ladies had… just not sure if I love it for her though…

  46. Alexis

    I feel like the dress just overwhelming her small frame but for some reason it works for her. It’s just her glam-boho style that makes it work. I am loving the face – I would kill to do eyes that perfect on myself!

  47. Love the overall look! I love her makeup and the cat-eye!!!! Really accentuates her gorgeous eyes!!! Dress looks great on her as well!

  48. Amal

    I love the look. It’s so unique and memorable, and somehow reminds me of our Arabic dresses ;)

  49. dress, makeup and hair look good together from far away.
    but something looks wrong when you just see the face. the makeup is nice done, but i think it doesn’t suit her.

  50. WOW! her eyes are gorgeous. Absolutely va va voom!

  51. Casey

    I absolutely love her eye makeup! I really like Nicole Richie…shes matured so much and she has great style. This isn’t my favorite dress on her but she looks lovely.

  52. Ashley

    Train wreck.

  53. She definitely kept it matching with her very bohemian style, which I love. She stayed true to herself. :D

  54. Jo

    Not sure about the hair, but her eyes look so perfect they might’ve been stenciled on!

  55. Kim L

    I have always found her quite unattractive, but she got it going on here!

  56. Cherokee

    I love Nicole Richie. I love the fact that she doesn’t allow trends to dictate her style and she owns what she wears.

  57. queenfrostine

    I like it over all but not as much up close. I love the application, but the white shade looks chalky against her skintone. I think I might like it better had they used a slightly warmer shade as the base. The shape is great though and I love that she went with something dramatic. It looks very classy.

  58. sophie

    i don’t like it, i don’t like her…. so many beautifull people in the world why she…???

  59. Jade

    Adore the dramatic eye with the pared down lips, she looks flawless :)

    • marie

      She’s nowhere near flawless in this
      she looks awful
      I used to love her look, very easy and natural looking yet glamorous and cute at the same time
      this makes her look very old and her skin and hair look unhealthy
      the makeup doesnt work with anything she has on or her haircolor
      she looks very much like shes going to a weird funeral
      her hair also looks dirty and unclean, the black is faded or something because a dark brown is showing through and looks spotty
      you can also see her extensions showing through her bump, which is done wrong and the real hair is pulled too tight causing it to tunnel
      overall its extremely disappointing from someone so naturally stylish as her and its just an awful look for anyone
