Nicole Richie attends silent auction

What's a silent auction I (don't) hear you ask? Well... uh, who cares when your choice of dress is so un-silent. Nicole Richie (along with Good Charlotte beau, Joel Madden) attended the 30th Anniversary Carousel Of Hope Ball benefiting The Barbara Davis Center For Childhood Diabetes in Beverly Hills on Saturday night.

Yes, it's a charity event, but, as Fashion Wire Daily sagely points out: "any woman who has ever attended the spectacular biennial event knows, the night is truly all about the clothes."

And new mummy Nicole didn't disappoint on that score. She wore a dress that truly dazzled. Such opulence hasn't been seen since Harrison Ford entered the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Oh, and she had a matching handbag. And eyes. Now that's what I call accessorising.

Incidentally, at the ball - which was for charity don't forget - Nick Jonas sang 'A Little Bit Longer' (that's a song title not him overrunning): a song addressing his own struggle with diabetes. And Denzel Washington was honoured with the 'Brass Ring' award (don't ask, I don't know).
