‘Laguna Beach’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

One year after the success of Fox's The O.C., MTV took a look at the actual town, launching Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County in 2004. The reality show focused on the personal lives of then-high schoolers Stephen Colletti, Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, Lo Bosworth and more. Laguna Beach was originally set to be a high school drama but was not allowed to film inside the actual high school, meaning that it was completely shifted to focus on the cast's home life. Conrad led the first season as the narrator, as the main storyline focused on a love triangle she found herself in with Cavallari and Colletti. In season  2, Conrad went away to college, with Cavallari taking over as the narrator. When her season ended, a new group was introduced but fell flat without the series' original cast. Scroll through the gallery below for an update on where the cast is today:

After starring on The Hills, Conrad focused on her fashion career, launching fashion lines LC Lauren Conrad and Paper Crown. In 2020, Conrad launched her children’s brand, Little Co.
