Nicole Richie stepped out with Joel Madden on January 27, 2008, for one of their first public appearances since Nicole gave birth to baby Harlow Winter Kate Madden. While Nic and Joel grabbed beverages at Coffee Bean and braved the rainy LA weather, I have to say, it is absolutely, positively unbelievable to me that Nic just gave birth less than a month ago. Nicole is practically back to her super-skinny, pre-baby weight already! Was she really even pregnant? Seriously. Either way, whatever Nicole is doing, it's working. While photos of the presumably adorable tot have not yet been released, it's good to see that Nicole is still the most stylish mom on the block. To snag Ms. Richie's outfit, start with the stripes. Grab Signorelli's Butterfly Tee in Pearl and wear under a black blazer (LaROK's cropped version, the Rebecca Cropped Jacket in Black is cute). Throw on a vibrant red scarf and slip into a pair of tapered denim (like Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Midnight), then accessorize with a black Balenciaga bag and fashion-forward boots (Ashley Olsen also has these stunners) and you'll be set. Baby sold separately! In other Richie news, it seems that there is a battle brewing in terms of who will win the coveted spot of Harlow's godmother. Nicole obviously wants BFF Paris Hilton to take the spot, but Madden thinks that future sister-in-law Sophie Monk would do a better job. A source tells The Globe, "Joel doesn't think Paris is up to the task ... He's lobbying for Sophie." Who do you think would make a better godmother?
