Have you all noticed the striking similarities between Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie lately? First LC channeled Nicole in cut-off shorts and now, like Richie, she wore an Elizabeth and James dress. It may be mere coincidence, but I'm just saying! There's no doubt, however, that Lauren looked pretty at MTV's Upfront Presentation last night. The blue hue matches her skin and brings out her baby blues. Per usual, she kept her accessories to a minimum, but in this case, a dress that striking should be center of attention.

i like the dress
1I love the shoes.
2The dress and shoes are FAB!
the clutches you picked out.
3I would have liked it better if you could actually see her shoulders and the top of the dress... I hate all that hair in the way.
perhaps she's channeling richie because she has no style of her own...
I kid, I kid.
but only a little
4I really love that dress. And Lauren's style. She dresses pretty simply. I hate her designs though.
5There was another outfit that was very Nicole Riche-esque.. She was wearing a white t-shirt with skinny jeans, black moccasin fringed boots, channel bag, head scarf and giant sunnies of course..
6I'm sorry, but these Elizabeth and James dresses are ugly. And I'm sick of this hairstyle on everyone.
7I haven't really noticed the Nicole Richie connection, but I'm loving that dress! I like almost every piece I've seen from Elizabeth and James, in fact.
8Her baby blues? her eyes look green to me, and her style I find pretty boring...
9Love the shoes! Anyway, Lauren's style isn't that complicated, but it's very nice and easy to pull off.
10wOw she looks very different
11with her hair in the middle.
She looks cute!!!
But, I agree with Syako, but mainly on the fact that I don't find LC's "style" that pioneering, nor would I expect it to be. She's just a regular Jane, a pretty one though, that happens to have cameras following her.
12Fab, LC wore an Elizabeth and James shirt with leather tights the day before Nicole wore her E&J shirt dress. Anyways, Lauren looks great and she has been looking superb lately.
13I swear, the last 5 or so events I've seen photos of Lauren at, she's been wearing items PREVIOUSLY tagged by me! It's like she stalks my teamsugar or something, (which would be so awesome.) I love, love LOVE this dress.
14Fleurfairy! You are the only one so far that i agree with. I'm sorry ladies but this dress is terrible. Maybe it's just me, but I think the fabric looks cheap. And the link with the different views shows it from the back and it just hangs. There is also a close-up of the front along the top of the bust, and the sewing is so un-even. Paying almost $400 dollars for this is out of control.
15I noticed the Richie connection a while ago, but there are certain looks that don't look right on Lauren, or she is not pulling them off as well as richie, although i don't care for this dress, this look works for her, but the edgier styles look too forced, not natural like richie... richie has great sense of style!
16is it just me, or does she look a little like carmen electra in this pic?
17She always looks the same.
18Always THE SAME.
It wouldn't surprise me if she were watching every move Nicole made fashion-wise and copying her so she'll have more credibility. I can't believe she didn't think people would notice.
19Nice dress!
20ever think the publicist for elizabeth and james sent lauren some tops/dresses
21It absurd to think she is copying Nicole. Lauren style is her own. May I add again that Lauren wore her Elizabeth and James top before Nicole was seen wearing hers.
22She looks hot but suspiciously different....
23Are you kidding me? She wears denim shorts and a dress of the same brand, and suddenly she's "channeling" Nicole Richie? That's a stretch.
24That girl has no fashion identity.
She blatantly rips off entire outfits: example, Kate Moss - grey skinny jeans, white crew neck long sleeve, black ankle moccassins + Nicole Richie - braided head.
What's worse is that this girl, typical of people with no individual sources of inspiration, copies sooooo late.
It's not just that she's wearing same items, but that she is copying off in entirety. That's not 'chanelling'.. it's YAWN-INDUCING-COPYCATTING!
25^ your rant does not make any sense. Lauren was wearing the braids in her hair before nicole. As for the moccassins, yes Kate Moss started but how many girls have been wearting them now. Lauren is wayy prettier than both Nicole or Kate and equally as stylish.
26^Oh did she, re braids? Ok, oops, my bad! I just assumed this one would follow the other one. Meh. But I still reckon she looks bad generally, first or not! But that's just me..
p.s. I WAS a bit ranty wasn't I? Damn. My bad, again. I had just finished work where such a STUPID incident happened that infuriated/upset me and I think I was in a very antsy mood. pooo
27Since when has wearing the same BRAND become "copying"? I would understand if they were wearing the same dress, or the same style, but, uhm, no.
28I love the whole look.
& I'll sell my soul for those shoes
29I have noticed she's been looking a little like nicole lately. just saying.
30Well I certainly hope she isn't comparing herself in her own mind to Richie....otherwise she better start puking because she's 20 lbs. overweight! I like that dress though, they make it in green too!
31I like the dress, but I'm kind of sick of LC.
32Oh and I really want those shoes.
