Nicole Richie Makes Rare Red-Carpet Appearance With 18-Year-Old Daughter Kate at L.A. Premiere

The outing signaled a planned shift from strict privacy to selective visibility for the 18-year-old.

Overview

  • Richie and Kate stepped onto the carpet at Harmony Gold in Los Angeles during Monday's premiere of Stop! That! Train!
  • Kate, born Harlow, now uses her middle name, which the public noticed after Nicole tagged @katemaddennn in a January birthday post.
  • Her look marked a sharp turn to goth style with jet-black hair, a strapless leather minidress, and black knee-high boots.
  • Joel Madden later told the Dumb Blonde podcast in March that she has gone by Kate since early grade school, underscoring family support.
  • It was their first joint red-carpet photo since April 2024, making the appearance a rare family moment.
