Nicole Richie and her daughter Kate Madden made a rare mother-daughter appearance at the Stop! That! Train! premiere in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
The pair was pictured posing on the red carpet, with the reality TV personality wearing a navy blue and polka dot dress with a matching headscarf, and accessorising with pendant earrings and what appeared to be a fur stole, reports Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kate, 18, meanwhile, opted for an edgy strapless black dress with matching knee-high boots.<\/p>\n She wore her long dark hair parted down the middle and accessorised her outfit with layered bracelets and necklaces.<\/p>\n Kate \u2014 whom the Simple Life star, 44, shares with husband Joel Madden, 47, along with son Sparrow, 16 \u2014 was spotted hanging out with friends at Coachella last month, looking equally fashionable.<\/p>\n That\u2019s hardly a surprise, given that mum Nicole heads up House of Harlow, a design house named after her daughter, whose full given name is Harlow Kate.<\/p>\n \u201cShe goes by her middle name. She has her whole life,\u201d Nicole revealed in January, after her birthday post tribute for her daughter sparked confusion among fans, noting that while she \u201cdidn\u2019t look\u201d at the comments, it \u201cmakes sense\u201d that they would be confused.<\/p>\n \u201cHow to make a grown man cry!!!\u201d Joel commented on the snapshot carousel at the time, adding, \u201cLove you Kate! You\u2019re a bad ass [sic]! Never forget it! Happy 18!!.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHappy Birthday!? Did she change her name?\u201d one person questioned, with others echoing the confusion.<\/p>\n In October 2025, Nicole shared that the pair like to trade clothing from each others\u2019 closets. \u201cWe\u2019re pretty open with each other and we let each other borrow whatever [clothes] we want,\u201d she divulged to Extra at the time, noting that her daughter \u201ckeeps things in really good condition.\u201d<\/p>\n She added, \u201cMy mum always let me borrow and take anything I wanted. And so that\u2019s just the attitude that we have in our house.\u201d<\/p>\n The mother-daughter bond appears to have remained strong throughout the years. In February, Kate took to social media with a pic of her angel wing back tattoos \u2014 a tribute to her mother\u2019s famed angel wing tattoos.<\/p>\n Kate wore a gold dress in the pair of photos, captioned the upload with the wings emoji in honour of her mother.<\/p>\n
