LC Is Emmy-bound

So she might not ever win an Emmy, unless she ditches FIDM in lieu of acting school, but Lauren Conrad is determined to be involved with the Emmys. The Hills star got a pretty big break by garnering a chance to design a dress for the next Emmy telecast. Lauren has been commissioned to create a “couture red carpet gown” for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards, the TV academy announced yesterday. The dress (or dresses) will be worn by the “trophy girls” who carry Emmy statuettes on-stage for presenters to hand to winners. Lauren, of course, is excited and already envisions the type of dress she wants to design. “I will be doing a red carpet look that still reflects the simple classic design of the Lauren Conrad Collection but with a black tie twist,” she said in a statement. Lauren’s own clothing line was recently nixed off the racks at the Kitson store here in Los Angeles and the reality star’s fashion credentials have been questioned numerous times. That’s why this particular project is so important for Lauren. The Emmy telecast still garners quite an audience and there will be folks who’ll tune in just to see what she designs (not to mention all the celebs who’ll be in attendance seeing her work). Better get to sketchin’, LC!
