Nicole Richie
With a glamorous father like Lionel Richie, it's no wonder that adopted daughter Nicole cultivated her artistic side with a career in fashion. Despite a rocky entry into the celebrity spotlight following her appearance alongside Paris Hilton in The Simple Life — in addition to public struggles with drug abuse and DUI arrests — the starlet has been able to repair her reputation and build a successful fashion empire. In 2008, Richie launched her boho-chic jewelry line, House of Harlow 1960 (named after her 3-year-old daughter Harlow), which has grown to include sunglasses and shoes. In 2008, Richie added a ready-to-wear collection called Winter Kate (also named after her daughter), which includes footwear, jewelry, eyewear and handbags. Additionally, Richie has dabbled in designing maternity clothes. In 2009, while pregnant with her second child, Sparrow, Richie designed a line for maternity boutique A Pea in the Pod, giving moms-to-be everywhere a touch of Richie's pregnancy style.
