When on Monday night’s episode of The Hills Lauren Conrad announced that she had the perfect dress she’s been holding "on reserve" for her next Amy Astley meeting, what fashionista wasn’t foaming at the mouth to see the couture creation she’d pull out? Imagine our surprise when the Teen Vogue-r didn’t show up in an LC Original, or something terribly exclusive, but the same form-fitting Black Halo dress (pictured, top right) that has steadily been making its way across the viewing week. First Amanda sported it in Season 1 of Ugly Betty (left), then Susan Meyer crashed a funeral in it on Desperate Housewives (bottom right). (It’s also made a slew of red carpet showings, pretty much whenever celebs like Kelly Ripa and Jenny McCarthy want to rock the sexy secretary look.)
As for how much it helped Lauren Conrad with her best impersonation of a highly respectable bow tier, that depends on whether you thought Marc Jacobs left their meeting with a stifled giggle or grimace. Still, from Becki Newton to Teri Hatcher to LC? As they saying goes: One Dress to rule them all…

I thought that dress looked familiar. I also thought it was L.A.M.B. Either way, that dress is probably cheaper than anything in the Lauren Conrad collection!
*sigh* My fashion side is failing you! I know that dress, but can’t remember who designed it. I’m thinking Roland Mouret, but that seems wrong. It is an expensive dress.
Found it http://www.catwalkqueen.tv/2007/02/intuitions_new.html
I still can’t believe LC didn’t stand up when she met Marc Jacobs because she was alphabetising!! This episode was almost all action– where were the akward glares and repeated scenes of LA?
I like that dress and have noticed it everywhere also.
I remember one other person who wore that dress or something similar to it. It was the character Drucilla Winters (Victoria Rowell) on The Young and The Restless. She wore it like the same week as that Desperate Housewives episode (original airing) where Susan wore it. I think Sharon on Y&R also wore something similar.
becki newton looks the best in it.
I love LC, I really do, but her “line” is 15 pieces that all come in the SAME FOUR COLORS!!!! And the dress does look best on Becki Newton, the red belt and her attitude make it pop!!
Becky rocked it the best.
Becky does rock that dress. Lauren is a little too frumpy and blah to rock it. If you are going to wear something that tight, you gotta do your crunches lauren.
