Nicole seen sucking up (again)

Without Paris to smooch with for the past year, Nicole Richie puckered up for her personal stylist Rachel Zoe at Charlotte Ronson's cocktail party at a private home in Hollywood Hills during Los Angeles Fashion Week.

I'm sure she's grateful to Zoe who has turned her, Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton into Hollywood's red carpet trendsetters.

But maybe this is just a warm-up.

Now that Paris and Nic have smoothed things over and are BFF again, perhaps they'll be back to their old public puckers and tongue wrestling matches.
