Nicole Richie Just Stole Our '90s Nostalgic Hearts With This Paula Abdul Throwback

Nicole Richie straight-up (get it?) stole the #TBT show with the throwback photo she posted on Instagram, featuring none other than '90s pop queen Paula Abdul. "*Drops Mic* #TBT #HeyPaula," the fashion designer captioned the black-and-white photo of her posing with the iconic singer and former American Idol judge at a concert. Nicole's adoptive dad, singer Lionel Richie — her birth father had Mexican roots — is industry pals with Paula, so we're sure he set up this adorable backstage meetup during the height of Paula's singing career, officially making Nicole the coolest teen at her school. Epic!
