If you love yourself fancy (and pricey!) hoodies, well then the Bathing Ape store opening in LA last night might just have been your kinda fun. Kanye West, a very very loyal BAPE supporter, on a break from his Glow in the Dark Tour was out for the event last night. Judging from his fun with Jonah Hill, that breakup isn't weighing him down to much. A natural looking Nicole Richie buddied up to Pharrell and the company's founder Nigo. Joel wasn't far from her side all night and as a sweatshirt designer himself, I'm sure he especially enjoyed the opening. Little Harlow didn't make it out to the party, but she's not far from our thoughts — especially after our amazing exclusive look at the little munchkin yesterday.
To see more from the party including Joel Madden, Jonah Hill, Serena Williams, Mike Tyson and more just read more

5love that nicole is still nursing. she's obviously a dedicated mom.
6LOVE Nicole and My boyfriend loves BAPE!
7dont like her hair like this like it needs to be washed
8pharrell and kanye
9Oh Pharell I loves him!!!!
10I think Nicole's lookin' a little skinny.
11Yeah, her hair is a bit too tatty to look good. Other than that, I think she looks grat.
Couldn't give a toss about anyone else there though.
12go take care of your baby cokehead!
13That's a bit harsh. Jeez.
14Pharrell!!!
I would have loved to go to the Pharrell/Lupe/Kanye concert - that would have been hot!
btw Mike Tyson, it's a few years later and your tattoo still looks stupid. He looks like a crazy man.
15Kind of uncalled for. I think she looks good and it's good for any parent to take time off from parenting and see your friends.
16wht do people not understand she was not a cokehead, heroin user yes, that was harsh btw, i go on vacation and on business meetings without my kids doesnt mean i dont love them or care for them, parents need time away alone time, atleast i do and i know she is in good hands
17they are in good hands
18I agree! Yeesh...you're allowed time away from your child(ren)!
She looks great!
19nicole looks so pretty:D love her hair color
20Why is it that in a post where famewh*re Richie is not the main feature, Pop still always has to bring up Harlow? Can we get over the Harlow (and her crack addict mother) obssession? Richie must be the most-featured person here on Pop, just for being talentless
21I forgot new mothers are supposed to cloister themselves away for the first two years. Anything less and CPS should be alerted immediately!!
Michael K on DListed made a comment about how Nicole's Mama chi chi's were gone and he missed them. He'll be excited to learn they are very much still there!
Nico looks great!! She has always been a simple stylish girl, except for her image overhaul period when she was with Rachel Zoe and was the extreme skinny glam girl! This look is ten times better!
Yes she is of the "famous for nothing" genre but I just love her!
22it was heroin not crack..
And Nicole has never really claimed to have talent (the was the story of coming out with an album but she didn't) I cant fault her for the fact the people like her. She is not pushing herself upon us...Paris Hilton (Cd's, movies etc)
23i agree 10000000000000& jaxon, and yes it is HEROIN NOT CRACK
24I think Nicole looks fab. I think out the two, Nicole always seemed to have more substance. I've always liked her. She's feisty and opinionated. I think Rashida Jones said it best when she said that Paris "lives in her own little world"...
25It's not PHARRELL's store, or clothing line. I'm normally not so anal but this is kind of a huge event in the streetwear world. The guy in the red hoodie, NIGO, is the founder of BAPE's billion-dollar success all over the world. HE is the mastermind behind all the clothing and marketing, NOT Pharrell. Pharrell designed BBC through Nigo's company by utilizing his help and resources. Kanye is also designing Pastelle (his upcoming line) through BAPE Inc. A lot of the big names at this party (KAWS, Takeshi Murakami) weren't even mentioned.... why is Nicole Richie even here?! LAME.
26Euni, it says "Nicole cozied up to Pharrell and THE company's founder Nigo"
Pop did him proper with a shout out...
I've learned not to get riled up about such things. (I usually get a craw when the BET awards gets a token one post while all the other shows get about 30). SO I know to just check many other blogs that appeal to my other interests. Sugar, Inc is a business and they taylor their post to their target audience. Who are mainly interested in Nicole being there. It helps the designers too b/c ppl who normally would know nothing of them now do.
27Yall don't think Nicole was doin' coke back in her bobble head days? She and Lindsay Lohan were lookin' awfully scrawny during that time...
28I am sure Harlow is happily in the hands of a capable nanny. I was under the impression that babies slept at like, 8pm anyway. Why in the world would Nicole sit at home while Harlow slept? She's a lucky-duck who gets to see her daughter a lot more than the rest of us would because we have to work and are dependent on two incomes. Yeah, it kind of sucks for the rest of us, but it doesn't mean she is doing anything wrong, she can support her lifestyle.
She looks really happy, healthy and gorgeous here, though I wouldn't be surprised if did do coke in the past anyway.
29no it was heroin only, she was very open in an interview where she stated she had never touched cocain only heroin, and i believe her because that is nothing to be proud of, she was so skinny because she went through a period when she had an eating disorder that also came from her mouth
30Big fans of Pharrell and Kanye..get to see both of them perform this May.....Glow in the Dark!!!!
31she feels out of place!
32I don't get why people have to call her talentless. She sings beautifully and not everyone can write a freakin' book okay? So seriously, before going on and on about how she doesn't do anything and she's talentless maybe you should learn a little bit about her. And I don't get why everyone has to go on about her having a drug problem. everyone makes mistakes.
It's so like, stupid to hold that against her. Nobody is better than her. She's better than nobody. So stop calling her names and dissing her just because she had a drug problem. And she's not doing drugs anymore so she's not an addict anymore. So uh yeah, before you go on about how horrible it is think about yourself, because we're all human and we all make bad decisions.
