Nicole Richie Named 'Influencer of the Year'

From Jennifer Lopez's multiple diffusion lines to Kanye West's high-fashion collection, Hollywood's most fashionable celebs are turning their style savvy into gold! With her signature flowy printed maxi dresses and oversized sunglasses, Nicole Richie has long been admired for her bohemian chic style aesthetic. So it's no surprise that Nicole's fashion line, House of Harlow 1960, has been wildly popular among fashionistas around the world.

Nicole's intricate jewelry pieces from her line have earned her the title of "Influencer of the Year" by the Accessories Council. Past honorees have included Lady Gaga, Kanye West and jewelry powerhouse, Tiffany & Co. Nicole has received multiple honors for her fashion line, including "Entrepreneur of the Year" at the 2010 Glamour Women of the Year Awards and a nomination in the "Celebrity Fashion Line" category at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards.
