Sofia Richie's three wedding dresses are the talk of the town right now, but we can't help but feel that her bridesmaid Nicole Richie's wedding outfits have been overlooked.

The socialite, 41, shared several sweet tributes to her younger half-sister, 24, on Instagram to mark her special day, including one of her fixing the train of Sofia's Chanel lace gown. Did you spot what Nicole was wearing? The Simple Life star looked incredible in a one-shouldered floor-length gown with a ruched bodice, a fishtail skirt and a train – a feature normally associated with the bride's wedding dress. What's more, she chose to step out in a classic black colour, which is rarely worn to weddings due to its funereal links.

The mother-of-two – who shares Harlow, 15, and Sparrow, 13, with her husband Joel Madden – wore her blonde hair in a sleek bun and sported a glamorous makeup look consisting of flawless skin and a smokey eye.

She was pictured holding a white bouquet and walking arm-in-arm with Joel, who also rocked a coordinating black suit and matching shirt, broken up only by his white buttonhole.

More photos show Nicole changed into a sheer green gown with floral applique, a high neck and a pleated skirt – perhaps she did an outfit change for the evening reception?

Lionel Richie's daughter Sofia got engaged to CEO of Universal Music Group Sir Lucian Grainge's son Elliot during a trip to Hawaii in April of 2022, after a year of dating. They got married in the South of France with Sofia telling Vogue of the wedding planning: “It was a full-time job, but we had a great time."

For her ceremony at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, Sofia wore a figure-hugging gown with iridescent white sequins, an open back and a criss-cross neckline inspired by Chanel’s fall 2023 collection. The bride later changed into another Chanel frock for the afterparty, which boasted a mini length thick straps, a structured bodice and the Chanel camellia.
