Nicole Richie straight-up (get it?) stole the #TBT show with the throwback photo she posted on Instagram [2], featuring none other than '90s pop queen Paula Abdul. "*Drops Mic* #TBT #HeyPaula," the fashion designer captioned the black-and-white photo of her posing with the iconic singer and former American Idol judge at a concert. Nicole's adoptive dad, singer Lionel Richie — her birth father had Mexican roots — is industry pals with Paula, so we're sure he set up this adorable backstage meetup during the height of Paula's singing career, officially making Nicole the coolest teen at her school [3]. Epic!
