Richie opened up about her style and how she identifies to Grazia. She says that she doesn’t like to put herself in a box. “Honestly, I can’t really pin exactly what I am,” she admits. “Because I wake up every morning and I decide that I want to be girly or I want to be a tomboy, or I don’t know like I’m all over the place. But for the most part, I’m comfortable. I think that’s an important key factor to me.”
