Lauren Conrad joins Laguna Beach cast as she attends 20-year high school reunion

BBG News

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for celebrity culture and a heart for nostalgia, I find it truly fascinating to witness moments like Lauren Conrad’s 20-year high school reunion. The journey of these Laguna Beach alums from their Southern California days to stardom on MTV is a testament to the power of reality TV and the enduring impact it can have on our lives.

On Saturday, Lauren Conrad went to her 20-year high school reunion, and afterward, she posted some behind-the-scenes shots on Instagram.

In the early 2000s, a 38-year-old celebrity gained popularity after appearing on the MTV reality series Laguna Beach. The show documented her and her friends’ daily lives in their Southern California coastal community, as cameras captured their experiences.

On a Sunday via an Instagram Story, Conrad posted, ‘Last night was filled with joy as we celebrated our 20-year (!!!) high school reunion! Many thanks to @hotellagunaweddingsandevents for graciously hosting us!’

On this special event, she opted for a relaxed look, donning a snug, black crew-neck top, black pants, and a lengthy, beige overcoat.

At the event, LC, also known as Lauren, took a photo highlighting the name badge she was wearing, which had a picture from her yearbook on it.

Conrad, along with former Laguna Beach alum Trey Phillips and Dieter Schmitz, stood together for a picture taken at the shoreline, capturing the beautiful sight of the sun descending behind them.

At the reunion, I was happy to spot the familiar visage of none other than Stephen Colletti, accompanied by his lovely fiancée, Alex Weaver.

Additionally, he posted content from the night onto social media platforms, offering a peek into his early festivities with his loved ones, which could be considered as his pre-event celebrations.

Besides Lauren, Trey, Dieter, and Stephen, the show’s cast additionally included Kristin Cavallari and Lo Bosworth.

The popular MTV docuseries came to an end after three seasons in November 2006. 

In 2020, Laguna Beach co-stars reunited via Zoom to reflect on their time on the show. 

At that moment, Stephen mentioned, “It seems like it’s been a while since we were all together in the same place – possibly around the time we were heading to the VMAs.

And he remembered about the process of becoming reality television stars: ‘MTV was like “Here, we’re going to launch this show and here’s 45 minutes of media training. Go have fun and then this show is going to air on MTV. Good luck!”’

For thirty minutes during their virtual get-together, the group reminisced about past experiences and discussed how the show laid the foundation for subsequent reality television programs.

Christina Sinclair pointed out that the most exciting aspect of our shared adventure was the emergence of reality TV, as Laguna Beach was one of the first shows to popularize it.

Looking back, it seems clear that our lives would have taken a different course if we had grown up with the amount of reality TV we see today. In some ways, this is what made Laguna Beach so memorable – we approached it without any preconceived notions or understanding of its impact. We simply jumped in, unaware of the consequences.

Although MTV marketed the series as heavily focused on reality, Cavallari confessed that a significant amount of scenes needed to be reshot, resulting in some episodes being presented in a non-chronological manner.

She remembered acting as if the prom had occurred only moments ago, and subsequently instructed to act as if the prom never took place.

As a dedicated admirer, I can’t help but exclaim how mind-blowing it is! You see, I recall the moment it initially graced our screens, and each revisit leaves me saying, “This isn’t quite as I remember it. They tweaked certain aspects.
