Kristin Cavallari: My Top 5 Red Carpet Looks

August 18, 2014

Below, five of my most memorable red carpet looks, aka some of my favorite outfits I’ve ever worn.

2014 Oscars in Alexander McQueen

I was pregnant in this, so that makes this look pretty memorable. Plus, the fact that I got asked to help countdown the red carpet for the Oscars was such a huge deal for me. It was an honor that I was even considered. I was really nervous, but really excited. I love this dress because it’s so simple, but the shoulders give it some edge and make it really fun. I was sitting down in my segment [for E!], so I thought this dress was perfect — I had a desk in front of me and you could really only see the top of it.

I thought THIS dress was perfect for the VMAs. I mean, isn’t it, though? It’s young, it’s fun — there’s not really a lot of places you can wear a dress like that. It was a vintage dress and I thought it was just so appropriate for an occasion like the VMAs where anything goes.

I don’t get to wear long gowns very often, and this was one of the first times that I was able to. It’s always fun, kind of like playing dress up, when you get to wear these kinds of gowns. I love the belt with it — it really balances out the look and makes it edgy and cool.

This was one of those nights where everything came together. The hair, the makeup, the outfit — this is a look I would even wear to dinner or to go grab drinks now. I loved that outfit. It’s simple, chic and really sexy.

Balmain is one of my favorite designers and being able to wear something from the label was so exciting for me! I felt like this dress was sweet, but sexy at the same time. It was appropriate for going to an after-party, while still being pregnant.

Kristin Cavallari was in her junior year of high school when the first season of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County began production for MTV. With her wit, charisma and girl-next-door looks, Cavallari was an instant TV sensation, winning over audiences across the nation. After wrapping two successful years on the hit show, Cavallari switched gears to focus on a career in acting before ultimately landing back on MTV on the reality series The Hills.

Since then, Kristin has appeared on Dancing with the Stars and was the host of The Fabulist on E!. She is currently working on her second shoe collection, Kristin Cavallari by Chinese Laundry, and recently welcomed her second child with her husband, Chicago Bears Quarterback Jay Cutler.

| My biggest fashion pet peeve is when someone is wearing something that isn't their style, so they're uncomfortable and you can tell. It doesn't look like them, and it's just so obvious.
