Nicole Richie looks super chic in a leopard print top and denim hotpants as she leaves a hotel with husband Joel Madden

Off or on-duty, Nicole Richie never fails to lose her effortlessly chic sense of style.

The 31-year-old fashion designer pulled off a leopard print long-sleeved top with a pair of tiny denim hotpants as she left Montage hotel in Beverley Hills alongside her husband Joel Madden on Wednesday.

She paired the ensemble with a pair of black Chelsea boots, a black leather shoulder bag and large black shades.

Nicole scraped her caramel brown locks back into a tight bun, wore little make-up to accentuate her radiant sun-kissed complexion.

Nicole's super slim legs appeared especially long for her tiny 5ft 1inches, aided by the size of her miniscule denim hotpants.

Good Charlotte singer, Joel, 34, opted for a more urban look, wearing a sleevless black T-shirt with the words '(fairy tale of New York)' written on the front whilst exposing a plethora of arm tattoos.

The couple married in December 2010 and have two children together, daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden, 5, and son Sparrow James Midnight Madden, 4.

Mum-of-two Nicole has recently been filming and starring in a new AOL web series called Candidly Nicole, where she is seen in all different aspects of her life.

The show claims to 'follow the outspoken celebrity as she shares her perspective on style, parenting, relationships and her journey to adulthood.'

A new episode of her show even sees Nicole learning what it takes to become a hip-hop star.

Nicole was filmed in a recording studio as she wrote some lyrics including: 'Now, normally when I’m home I make a lot of gluten free dishes ...like 'chillin in my crib makin' gluten-free spaghetti.'
