Nicole Richie looks glamorous in sheer dress split to the thigh... but loses her poise and elegance by pulling silly faces

She has a hit series on VH1 titled Candidly Nicole.

And just like the name of her show, Nicole Richie showcased her playful side at The Grove shopping centre in Los Angeles on Friday.

The 33-year-old reality star looked stunning in a sheer navy blue dress split to the thigh - but somewhat distracted from her look by pulling a series of silly faces.

Get Nicole's elegant sheer navy maxi dress

Nicole Richie's modeling a number of House of Harlow 1960 looks this week thanks to the reality star being snapped at a number of events at her pop-up shop at The Grove mall in Los Angeles.

Here, she's sporting the brand's Poppi midnight dress and we say she carries the look off better than the model, right. We love the combination of a demure silhouette with a racy, sheer fabric and it plays beautifully off of Nicole's fair skin and platinum locks. If you must copy Nicole's look exactly, you can. Click right to buy the dress for $395 and complete the look with her necklace below for $110.

If nearly $400 is still too much to ask, see our gallery of alternative navy kimono maxi dress at significantly lower prices. Check out our find at ASOS for only $39.50.

The former Simple Life star was spotted visiting her House of Harlow pop-up shop, which is slated for a week-long residency. 

Nicole appeared to be in good spirits during her outing at the outdoor shopping mall.

During her excursion, she gave onlookers quite a show by making funny faces as she stuck out her tongue and also made a duck face.

The daughter of music legend Lionel Richie was dressed in a semi-sheer long sleeve gown which swathed a navy blue one-piece corset underneath.
