Nicole Richie and Joel Madden joined the herds of celebs on the red carpet for The Art of Elysium 2nd Annual Heaven Gala last night. While it was nice to see Joel all snazzed up, I found the look a little dark. He donned a black tuxedo with a black shirt, a black coat, a black vest and black gloves. The only thing of “color” was a cream necktie, and he didn’t even take the time to shave.

But his beautiful baby’s mama, Nicole, looked like a dreamy angel in a long, chiffon A-line gown with a sweetheart neckline. Her hair was loosely pulled back with braids surrounding her head and pieces falling in her face. Her look seemed effortless- though the “girls” could have definitely used a little pick-me-up!

Even though they always seem so mismatched, I love this couple together. They really appear to be in love with each other and their baby girl. Good for them!
