Nicole Richie isn't hiding her body under baggy clothes anymore. The Simple Life star was flaunting her pregnant belly quite proudly in a bikini on a recent trip to Hawaii with boyfriend (and father-to-be) Joel Madden. These photos are guaranteed to be splashed across tabloids in the coming week, but remember, you saw it on Trend Hunter first!
Implications - Celebrity idolism persists because regardless of how glamorous and rich celebrities are, they are still people that the average consumer can relate to. The recipe for a good brand image, even outside of the realm of celebrities, involves a bit of prestige and outlandish glamor mixed with humility, making for something that consumers want and are able to attain.
