The Hills' leading ladies: then & now

It might be almost four years since we waved the stars of The Hills off into the Californian sunshine, but the leading ladies still have a special place in our hearts. Enjoy this homage to their fashion, then and now.
Rex FeaturesLauren Conrad
Lauren Conrad, circa 2014, is a super successful celebrity being, with various clothing lines and New York Times best-selling books under her stylish belt, plus a wardrobe that we would give our right arm to own.
Rex FeaturesLauren Conrad
Chic, sleek, groomed. LC, you've come a long way. But, let's not forget that the gorgeous LC you see before you today wasn't always as supremely groomed or fashionably attired.
Rex FeaturesLauren Conrad
It's taken years of practice and effort to get her red carpet style down to the fine art that it is today.
Rex FeaturesLauren Conrad
Experimentation was key to Lauren's style success. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the bubble hem look didn't hang around long.
Rex FeaturesLauren Conrad
A tie-dye maxi - we've all been there, Lauren. Especially in the mid noughties.
Rex FeaturesLauren Conrad
This mesh dress was typical of LC's styling back in the day.
Rex FeaturesLauren Conrad
And would you lookie what we have here. A mere glint in the eye of celebrity style and fame. The future holds great things for you, young lady dressed in mid-length cream lace.
Rex FeaturesHeidi Pratt
The Heidi we see standing before us today is a world away from the innocent blonde beauty we first met. Today, as Mrs Spencer Pratt, Heidi prefers the glitzier side of style, like this sequin-sprayed plunging mini.
Rex FeaturesHeidi Pratt
Pre-surgery but post The Hills, Heidi's starting to experiment with sexier looks and styles.
Rex FeaturesHeidi Pratt
A peekaboo LBD teamed with a clashing clutch - Heidi's bringing sexy back.
Rex FeaturesHeidi Pratt
Sugary pinks teamed with blonde ringlets is signature Heidi of old.
Rex FeaturesHeidi Pratt
Tres chic - this was a good phase for Heidi's style. Bring it back please, Mrs Pratt.
Rex FeaturesHeidi Pratt
Throughout her fame journey, Heidi's always been partial to a figure-hugging slip.
Rex FeaturesHeidi Pratt
We all tried the oversized-white-shirt-as-a-dress-with-a-wide-belt look. It didn't do much for us either.
Rex FeaturesHeidi Pratt
The Cali-cool girl we all knew and loved. This fun printed maxi just belongs on the sun-soaked streets of LA.
Rex FeaturesAudrina Patridge
She of the best abs and bikini body, Audrina Patridge's style has always consisted of the same vital ingredients: short, tight, sassy. << Case in point.
Rex FeaturesAudrina Patridge
The only difference being that today the former Hills star has a better selection of bodycons and matchy-matchy accessories at her fingertips.
Rex FeaturesAudrina Patridge
Right?
Rex FeaturesAudrina Patridge
Sometimes, though, Audrina liked to mix up the tight factor with a sprinkling of cleavage. AS you do.
Rex FeaturesAudrina Patridge
Again, case in point. If it ain't broke...
Rex FeaturesKristin Cavallari
Kristin Cavallari is one of our favourite street style stars, thanks to the effortless quality she brings to all of her off-duty ensembles, not to mention her flawless red-carpet appearances.
Rex FeaturesKristin Cavallari
Whether it's boyfriend jeans and a skinny white tee or a cute dress, Kristin has it down.
Rex FeaturesKristin Cavallari
The perfect example <<.
Rex FeaturesKristin Cavallari
This is how we'd like to style out a maxi.
Rex FeaturesKristin Cavallari
But our sleek fashion favourite hasn't always been thus. Like the rest of us, she's had to wade through some 'interesting' looks before hitting on success.
Rex FeaturesKristin Cavallari
Back where it all began, KC was just a girl with a big style dream, yet to be realised.
Rex FeaturesWhitney Port
Ah, the lovely Whitney Port, reality TV star turned fashion designer. After doing a stint at Teen Vogue alongside Lauren Conrad during the show, we knew big things would happen in the world of fashion for Whitney. Her style today speaks for herself, quite simply charming.
Rex FeaturesWhitney Port
On and off the red carpet, the Whitney Eve designer has cool-girl style sewn up.
Rex FeaturesWhitney Port
Is Whit at home on the red carpet? You betcha.
Rex FeaturesWhitney Port
A few years back, Whit was still getting to grips with the whole red carpet situ. This look has 'playing it safe' written all over it.
Rex FeaturesWhitney Port
Simple, sleek, style savvy. Whitney clearly listened during that Teen Vogue internship. Less is indeed more.
Rex FeaturesWhitney Port
Oh dear. Moving along swiftly.
Rex FeaturesWhitney Port
Another red carpet outing, another bubble hem from a Hills leading lady.
Rex FeaturesLo Bosworth
Lauren 'Lo' Bosworth's style has come on leaps and bounds since The Hills was part of her life. Polished and sleek, she's really come into her own.
Rex FeaturesLo Bosworth
We could be mistaken, but we're convinced that every female cast member of The Hills wore a strappy colour-splash dress like this at some point.
Rex FeaturesLo Bosworth
Back in the day, burnished gold mini dresses were a thing. Now? Not so much.
Rex FeaturesLo Bosworth
Elasticated hems were another Hills girl favourite. We can't think why now.
Rex FeaturesStephanie Pratt
Stephanie Pratt, the younger (& nicer) sister of the aforementioned Spencer Pratt, was always a little on the edge of the action, but she still managed to get across her fashion intentions. Today, she's one well groomed senorita.
Rex FeaturesStephanie Pratt
In fact, she's consistently produced pleasing-on-the-eye ensembles when it comes to the red carpet and street style.
Rex FeaturesStephanie Pratt
Once a stylish LA gal, always a stylish LA girl, right? The Hills, we miss you.
