Nicole Richie Shows Us How to Wear Striped Palazzo Pants — Would You Wear One?

Anne Hathaway may have disappointed us with her styling of the palazzo pants, but Nicole Richie revived our spirits when she showed up looking like a total babe on the set of Extra last Wednesday, July 10. Check out the photos below, and tell us if you agree with us.

Between the two A-listers, Nicole Richie has won our hearts with her choice of outfit for her appearance on Extra. What do you think? Actually, if you've been following Nicole's everyday life as a media personality, then you'd know that she has already worn the pants before! We totally understand her fashion dilemma, but she made the pants look brand new again simply by throwing on chic separates that went well with her flowy trousers.

Sticking to the basics when it comes to dressing up, the former Simple Life star went for a breezy yet structured look by wearing a printed top with striped palazzo pants from Balmain. Black pointed shoes and aviators finished off her sleek, fashionable look.

We all know how disastrous palazzo pants can be when paired with the wrong pieces. And striped pants, too, can sometimes be a little trickier to style! But if you have the guts to show off your long-legged features in a pair of stripey palazzo pants, then check out our chic selection below.

Gwen Stefani Wears the Coolest Pair of Printed Jeans Just to Get a Manicure

What is up with celebrities dressing up even for a trip to get their nails done nowadays? Last time, it was Julianne Hough, who looked pretty in her pink jeans and peep-toe pumps. Today, it's Gwen Stefani looking absolutely fly in a black sleeveless tee, Givenchy cage booties, and the coolest pair of printed jeans. (Of course, a lot of the jeans' cool factor comes from the fact that it was Gwen Stefani wearing them.)

Check out those slimming stripes going down the sides. The print goes all the way around the back of the leg calf, too. And even though these jeans have large rectangular panels, they don't have that dreaded widening effect because the prints are ingeniously placed along the inside of the legs. Clearly, whoever came up with the idea for the print on these jeans really thought the design through.

Gwen Stefani can make anything look cool, but these Paige Denim "Verdugo" jeans in St. Petersburg are really amazing and look good even when they're just laid out like this:

These highly popular, exclusive-to-Selfridges jeans are very hard to find now, but a few sizes are still up for sale at RAAK Amsterdam. You have to coordinate with them for international shipping arrangements, but for these amazing jeans, it's worth the trouble.

Our digging around also led us to select sizes of the Madame print, which is also on sale right now! Check out all colors of these Paige Denim scarf-print jeans side by side in our previous post.
