Nicole Richie graces the cover of the new April 2009 issue of Black Book magazine.
In addition to starring on the cover of this special The Music Issue, Nicole Richie is featured in a funky editorial where she flaunts excessive accessories on her fingers and arms.
In one image, Richie wears no fewer than 20 rings on one hand and 5 bracelets on her arm. Now that’s what I call accessorizing!
I am guessing that Nicole is paying tribute to Lady GaGa, since this is the Music Issue and GaGa is the hottest fashionable music act these days.
