Whatever Nicole Richie is doing to maintain her slender figure seems to work wonders on short time spans as well, it is being said. The socialite, and occasional singer and actress gave birth to baby boy Sparrow on September 9. Over the weekend, just days after the happy event, she went to a concert and unveiled a body that bore few signs of a pregnancy, as the Daily Mail can confirm.

Richie has repeatedly vouched she would never again allow herself to go hungry and adopt an unhealthy lifestyle. She has struggled with weight most of her adult life, but it wasn’t until she became a mother for the first time that she understood she needed to focus on her health above everything else, she once said. From what recent pictures show, it’s clear her healthy diet also works wonders in the short term as well.

“She gave birth to her second child just two weeks ago, but Nicole Richie has already snapped back into shape. The socialite and reality star made it look like her nine months of carrying baby Sparrow, a boy, was all a dream. Nicole, 28, and boyfriend Joel Madden were at The Roxy in West Hollywood on Friday to watch a Selena Gomez concert with her 11-year-old sister, Sofia.” the Mail writes of Nicole’s recent public outing.

Dressed in black, satin shorts, gladiator-inspired heels, a sleek top and white cardigan, and with the tiniest hint of a rounded tummy, Nicole was as thin and delicate as ever – albeit a far cry from her “too skinny” days. The secret to dropping so much weight over such a short period of time must be in breastfeeding and staying up with the baby, which substitutes for working out, as many other Hollywood moms admit to doing.

As also noted above, it’s a long while since Nicole has sworn she would never make the mistake of starving herself again. While pregnant with Sparrow, the diminutive star often spoke out about how important staying healthy was for her, and how she tried to always put that first. “I feel better when I eat better. It’s as simple as that. I already eat organic, but being pregnant, I feel in tune with my body.” Nicole was saying at the time.
