Nicole's birthday celebration

Posted Sep 25 2007 @ 10:59 AM

Nicole Richie was spotted in Hawaii on September 23 splashing around in the surf and flaunting her fuller new figure, inspiring basically everyone to say how absolutely amazing she looks pregnant. Wearing a signature headscarf (like Karen Zambos' Head Band in Brown Stitch) with big black shades (Nour's Noushi Sunglasses in Crystal Mystery are similar), an olive green bikini (just like Brette Sandler's Nova Leather Strap Bikini in Hunter Green) and plenty of bangles, Nicole takes beachside chic to a whole new level. It's a little strange looking at these pictures because we all saw Nicole so slim for so long, and now that she has embraced her motherly curves and is proudly displaying her protruding tummy, she looks healthy and better than ever. Nicole retreated to Hawaii with Joel, and the two have been spotted frolicking in the surf, laying out and relaxing while listening to their iPods and sneaking in a kiss here and there. This is definitely the happiest we've ever seen Nicole, and despite many opinions to the contrary, I think Nicole's going to make a great momma. What do you think?
