It’s been 14 years since audiences took a trip to the shores of ‘Laguna Beach.’ Now, we’re taking a look at where the original stars of the show are today! Find out about Lauren Conrad and more!
On September 28, 2004, MTV viewers packed their bags and took a trip to the beach. The getaway, however, wasn’t for vacation, it was to watch the young stars of Laguna Beach. Over the course of a few years, fans would watch the young cast navigate their last few days of high school and prepare for their next chapter. As with any MTV reality series, there was plenty of drama, and these stars laid the foundation for long-lasting careers.
Laguna Beach was the start for celebs like Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, and so many more. Though the stars who catapulted to fame really made a statement on the first season of the series, there’s plenty to learn about where they are today. So, let’s take a trip back to the early aughts and see where some of the stars of Laguna Beach are today!
Lauren Conrad

Lauren was a main cast member on the show for more than 25 episodes, as her last days in high school in sunny California were chronicled for the world to see.
From there, Lauren became a staple of reality TV. Between 2006-2009, Lauren was a cast member on the series The Hills, appearing in over 85 episodes. In the years that followed the series ending, Lauren has gone on to become a total fashion mogul. Her personal life has thrived, as well.
