Lauren Conrad's New Year's resolution? To go dark, apparently! The former "Hills" star attended this week's 50th anniversary CoverGirl celebration having bid her blond locks bye-bye in favor of a brunette 'do.
Us Weekly spoke with Lauren's stylist, Kristin Ess, who explained the starlet's new look. "It was just time to go for it," she said. "We've done so many variations of blond in the past and it's fun to do something new." Though it is a new look for the reality star, whom we've known as a blond since her TV debut on MTV's "Laguna Beach," we bet this soft brown shade more closely matches her darker, natural roots.
