Laguna Beach alum Kristin Cavallari nearly had a wardrobe malfunction but luckily, her ex Stephen Colletti was around to help.
Cavallari, 39, rocked a nearly identical dress to the one she wore in the reality show’s first episode during the premiere event for The Reunion: Laguna Beach. Cavallari paid homage to her past look at the Thursday, March 26, gathering by rocking a white mini dress. Her frock featured a strapless neckline, a fitted bodice and a tight skirt equipped with a cowl waist.
A now-viral clip shared by StyleCaster posted on Friday, March 27, showed the reality star trying to sit down in her dress, but struggling because it was too short. That’s when Colletti, 40, held up a pillow to cover her backside. Lauren Conrad also used her dress to cover up Cavallari while she readjusted herself.
Fans shared their reactions in the comments section. “They don’t make guys like them anymore,” one wrote, while a second added, “Stephen with the modesty pillow!!” A third gushed, “I love this.”
Cavallari accessorized with a black choker to get more into the Y2K spirit. For glam, she donned a full beat including dewy skin, brown eyelash, long lashes and pink lips. Her platinum blonde hair was parted down the middle and styled in loose curls.
She opened up about her outfit choice via Instagram before hitting the red carpet. “Tonight I was like, ‘I have to wear a white dress, and it has to be similar,’” she explained while holding the number out. “So, it’s like an elevated dress from the original.”
In the show’s first episode, Cavallari attended a black-and-white party in a nearly identical look, arriving in a strapless white dress with a fitted top. At the time, she parted her hair to the side and wore her mane down and straightened.
Following the premiere, Cavallari shared a photo of her look via Instagram. “Someone said Laguna Beach is back….and that means the black choker is too @uncommonjames,” she captioned the post.
Fans shared their thoughts on her look via X on Thursday. “One more [method] of dressing this year. The archive makes its presence felt once again,” one wrote, while a second added, “The iconic white dress! Can’t wait to see the reunion.” A third praised, “She’s fantastic.”
Cavallari starred on seasons 1 and 2 of Laguna Beach, which followed her high school life and friendships.
