Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari are setting the record straight. The former stars of *Laguna Beach: The Real O.C.* are finally laying feud rumors to rest, reuniting in a rare and heartwarming photo nearly two decades after their infamous rivalry first flared on screens. And they’re well aware of the momentous occasion. As Kristin captioned her October 11 post—a snapshot of her and Lauren standing arm in arm—“Everyone can put away their team Lauren and team Kristin shirts now.”
For the reunion, Lauren embraced a chic, all-white look with jeans and a matching linen vest, while Kristin opted for a sleek, all-black ensemble featuring a mini skirt, crop top, and jacket. Beyond their coordinated color schemes, both radiated joy with wide, genuine smiles.
Fans of the series immediately swarmed the comments, many drawing parallels to a classic *Laguna Beach* episode titled “A Black and White Affair,” which revolved around Lauren and Kristin’s love triangle with high school crush Stephen Colletti. Others expressed sheer elation over the long-awaited détente between Kristin and Lauren—or “LC,” as she was known on the show.
“And the millennial generation is fully healed,” one fan cheered, while another added, “Millennials collectively healing their trauma after seeing this post.”
But Lauren and Kristin weren’t the only *Laguna Beach* alums reconnecting. After news broke in late September that the series would film a reunion, the cast began gathering once more. Lauren shared the announcement on Instagram, posting throwback photos of the original crew alongside a nod to the show’s iconic theme. “Let’s go back to the beginning… Reuniting the cast of *Laguna Beach*, coming to the Roku Channel in 2026,” she wrote.
In addition to her time with Kristin, Lauren reunited with fellow alums Stephen, Trey Phillips, Talan Torriero, and Dieter Schmitz. Talan shared a lively video of the group on the beach, capturing Lauren snapping a photo of the men as they joked around. “California here we come,” he captioned the clip, encapsulating the nostalgic joy of the moment.
