Lauren Conrad - MTV VMAs 2009

Lauren Conrad keeps it elegant in a Diane von Furstenberg dress and Jimmy Choo heels as she arrives at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13).

The 22-year-old Hills alum recently graced the cover of Shape Magazine. “I’ve learned that you’ve got to stay true to yourself,” she told the magazine. “It’s the only way you’ll be really happy.”
