Lauren Katherine Conrad  also known by her nickname L.C., is an American television personality, fashion designer, and author. Born and raised in Laguna Beach, California, she attended Laguna Beach High School. In 2004, Conrad came to prominence after being cast in the reality television series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, which documented the lives of her and her friends.

After moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the fashion industry in 2006, Conrad was commissioned her own spin-off series The Hills, which chronicled the personal and professional lives of her and friends Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge, and Whitney Port. During its production, she attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and held positions with Teen Vogue and Kelly Cutrone's PR firm People's Revolution. As the series progressed, a widely-publicized feud developed between Conrad against Montag and her boyfriend Spencer Pratt. Consequentially, the conflict became the central focus of the series, and was carried through each subsequent season. In 2009, Conrad left The Hills after five seasons, and was replaced by former Laguna Beach cast member Kristin Cavallari.

Conrad launched the fashion lines "LC Lauren Conrad" and "Paper Crown" in 2009 and 2011, respectively. She released the L.A. Candy book trilogy in 2010 and the spin-off The Fame Game series in 2012.
