We HAVE To Say Something About Nicole Richie's Russian 'Harper's Bazaar' Cover

Nicole Richie is really exceeding our beautification expectations of late. First, there was her epic, epic Marchesa wedding dress that was the stuff of dreams. Now, she's essentially pulling a 4.0 in her major of LOOKING EFFING PHENOMENAL on the March 2011 cover of Russian "Harper's Bazaar."

There's something very Hitchcock heroine about the whole spread and while that's certainly not a new aesthetic, we feel Nicole's "doing it and doing it and doing it well" in the sage words of a famous philosopher we know who goes by the name of L.L.

On the cover, Mrs. Joel Madden is giving us Grace Kelly gracefully, and that's no easy feat. Her crisp white suit makes us consider re-committing to our iron, instead of passively steaming everything by our bathroom shower. It gets better: Nicole's red lip and Marcel-waved blonde locks is a beauty concept of which we never grow tired. And the massively ornate golden earrings are EVERYTHING and more. But most of all? We love how her facial expression evokes a decidedly Sharon-Stone-Circa-The-Legs-Crossing-Moment-Of-"Basic-Instinct" effect.

In the interior photo spread, Nicole perches on a fabulously '50s Mary Kay mobile in varying pop art shades -- love the tangerine suit! -- amid palm trees, occasionally featuring comic book bubbles of English interjections. All that's missing in the background is the Beverly Hills Hotel and a "Grease" era beau Nicole would no doubt slap if he got too "handsy."
