Nicole Richie Flashes Her Granny Panties in a Sheer Dress

Who knew that the Candidly Nicole star preferred old lady underwear

We see London, we see France, we see Nicole Richie's grandmothers underpants! (Sorry but we couldn't resist).

We're not surprised to see the Fashion Star judge rocking a totally see-through Dolce & Gabbana style but we are surprised by the choice of lingerie she wanted us to see through it! No, she can't prance around in a sexy thong, but there's a big difference between tasteful and geriatric!

If we take the unders out of the equation, this slinky gown is a gorgeous choice. The deep-colored florals are perfect for fall and especially beautiful against the House of Harlow designer's caramel skin. We also love the slight fish tail at the hemline and slight plunge at the neck.

So maybe we should just take Nicole's big bloomers as a sign that she's now a demure mother of two? Fine, but our mother never let her bottoms see the light of day, let alone the lights on the red carpet.
