The Beauty Department co-founder's wispy bangs may not have lasted long, but they certainly added a little mystery to good-girl style at the 10th Annual Children Uniting Nations Academy Awards Gala in 2009.

Boho-Chic Braids

As she rocked it on the red carpet at a private event for The Richie-Madden Foundation's in 2009, the Hills alum's trademarked hairstyle—cascading goddess waves, topped off by braids often crisscrossed to create a halo—is both romantic and carefree.

Conrad turned heads with rock-and-roll bombshell tresses at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. "There's something so sexy about having long blonde hair," Conrad once told Us Weekly. "It's so feminine!"

Conrad complemented her romantic, semi-sheer dress with an equally dreamy, looping side bun at the VH1 Save the Music Foundation event in 2010. And you can't forget the red statement lip!

Bedazzled Updo

The best-selling author launched two books—Sugar and Spice, and the Lauren Conrad Style Guide—at Barnes & Noble in 2010 while modeling a textured updo featuring a few tendrils pulled loose to frame her face and a sparkling headband.

The LC Lauren Conrad designer stunned at a book signing in 2010, thanks to her fresh blowout accentuated by a sweet little plait, pinned in place. A floral, ruffled top and bright fuchsia lips added even more infectious girlishness to the look.

Ballerina Bun

Another signature Conrad style! The Laguna Beach alum's oversized top knot, like the one she wore to Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood event in 2011, emphasizes her cheek bones and lets her flaunt her fashions (like that adorable sheer top!).

Flapper Finger Waves

Conrad, who married William Tell in 2014, channeled Daisy Buchanan with her vintage 'do and plunging, paillette-embellished dress at the 2nd Annual Autumn Party in 2011.

'40s-Style Sculpted Waves

The star hit up Teen Vogue's Young Hollywood bash in 2013 sporting the WWII-era hairstyle, plus perfectly retro winged-out eyeliner and berry lips.

Ombre, Hombre!

Two tones? No problem! Conrad modeled the mixed hues—a celeb-adored coloring choice—and Brigitte Bardot-worthy bangs for a visit to Young Hollywood Studio in 2013.

California dreamin'! The Paper Crown designer chose the flawless, fresh-from-the-ocean style for a taping of Extra in 2014.

Short and Sweet Bob

Conrad's longtime hairstylist, Kristin Ess, chopped her muse's long, lush California It Girl waves into a bob at the end of 2014. "She's really able to get any look that she wants, whether it's short or long," Ess told Us Weekly. "It just depends on if she's missing her long hair, but as of right now, I feel like she's loving it."
