Nicole Richie In Mathieu Mirano – 2012 ALMA Awards

Nicole Richie opted to shine the spotlight on an emerging designer when she hit the red carpet at the 2012 ALMA Awards held in LA yesterday evening.

Seemingly unfazed by a possible wardrobe malfunction, the designer wore a dramatic Mathieu Mirano Fall 2012 gown.

Her gown features a silk skirt with a sheer bodice decorated with black-and-gold leather paillettes.

I love that Nicole offset the dramatic nature of the gown with smoky, kohl-rimmed eyes and a slicked-back hairdo.

A Nicole Richie look wouldn’t be complete without some accessories from her House of Harlow line.
