Nicole Richie’s wore a wrapped dress. The LA County Museum of Art had a gala on Saturday night and Nicole showed up wearing a dress that isn’t her style of late. Or is it?

The white dress with black ribbon – or at least she looked like a present waiting to be unwrapped with ribbon – was different.

Many celebrities came out last night for the gala opening of the new Resnick Exhibition Pavilion at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The black-tie event which invited attendees to wear optional masquerade-style disguises attracted stars like Kim Kardashian, Joan Collins, Nicole Richie, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, James Franco, Nicky Hilton, Jaclyn Smith, Teri Hatcher and reality producer Mark Burnett.

I think Nicole could probably make a trash bag look chic. But this dresss just doesn’t seem to do her justice. Do you like it?
