Nicole Richie Shares Her Go-To Looks for the Holidays and Why They Don't Include Trends From 'The Simple Life'

Get into the holiday style spirit! When Nicole Richie dresses up for the holiday season, she loves to experiment with the latest trends, but you won't catch her reprising any former looks from The Simple Life.

The designer told ET her tips for creating festive outfits while hosting an exclusive cocktail hour at REVOLVE's Holiday Shop at The Grove in Los Angeles, California with House of Harlow 1960 and The Flamingo Estate on Nov. 21.

"Fall and winter are my favorite seasons for dressing. I think it's the time where I can be the most creative," she explained.

As for how the actress does this: "I love wearing warm jewel tones and getting in with the holiday vibes. ... I love the House of Harlow burgundy and hunter green leather jackets. They add a little bit of edge to holiday outfits that feel a little bit more dressy and conservative."

Another way Richie, 43, amps up her get-ups is by piling on baubles. 

"Jewelry always works to help add a little sparkle to the vibes and to your soul," she noted.

And while fans are looking forward to watching her reunion special with Paris Hilton, Paris and Nicole: The Encore, on Dec. 12 on Peacock, don't expect to see Richie in her iconic nostalgic get-ups.

"[I would never wear] any of it [now]," she spilled.

But, what Richie can always get behind is a thoughtful Christmas present.

"I would love pillows that have my dogs face on them this year. ... I've never received a bad holiday gift. I think gift giving is a true act of love and I appreciate all."
