Rag Report: Unexpected Deilight

Rag Report dives under the covers of fashion publications to rant or rave about all the glossy goodness.

Enter: The Hills, a place of glitz, glamour, and Lauren Conrad. During the 6 years we’ve seen this girl on TV she’s been nothing but girly and simplistic, and owns nothing out of the color spectrum of black and white. So, when coming across an image of Lauren in September 2010’s issue of Cosmopolitan, readers couldn’t help but be surprised by her colorful, textured outfit. This outfit is so flattering on Lauren; she is able to show her signature girly and chic look while still being sexy. Lauren’s dress looks so well put together because it has pieces that one wouldn’t normally pair with each other. Along with her dress, Lauren keeps her accessories simple by just wearing a pair of earrings. By not having a necklace Lauren is able to show off her v-neck and is able to draw more attention to her out of the ordinary top. Overall her outfit is unique with unexpected colors that are completely flattering on her.


In the next photo for Lauren’s Cosmopolitan photo shoot she is shown wearing a white ruffled dress with a discrete floral print. Although this dress is very flattering on Lauren, it is simple and dull. The colors used for the floral print do not pop out or bring any excitement to the dress itself. Although the dress does have ruffles, the overall shape of the dress is basic and unoriginal. If a belt or a piece of jewelry were to the added to the outfit it would pop and be a little more attention grabbing. While Lauren’s hair and make up do add a counterpoint to this outfit--bold, flirty, and attention grabbing--the first outfit choice is the best pick from this photo shoot.
