Nicole Richie’s Daughter Kate, 18, Debuts Angel-Wing Tattoo in First Post After Name Reveal

Nicole Richie has said her daughter has long used her middle name, with parents signaling support in Instagram comments.

Overview

  • The 18-year-old shared Instagram photos on February 9 revealing fine-line angel wings tattooed between her shoulder blades.
  • The new ink mirrors Richie’s own back wings, which coverage frames as a likely tribute to her mother.
  • The images also highlight Kate’s dramatic hair change to jet-black from her previously seen honey-blonde.
  • The post is her first public self-portrait since birthday tributes surfaced her @katemaddennn handle and her use of the name Kate.
  • Nicole commented with red heart emojis on the tattoo post, as Joel Madden and Benji Madden offered supportive birthday messages in earlier tributes.
