Lauren Conrad has come a long way since her days as the mall-shopping teen on Laguna Beach.
And now she has found her way from The Hills to the cover of Glamour Magazine, but lost her shirt along the way.

LC is featured on the cover of the women’s magazine in nothing but a pair of underoos, but still manages to make the cover a classy one.
A nude Conrad on the cover may come as a surprise to most, as the reality TV star has previously been extremely public about her struggles with body image that have kept her from suiting up in a two-piece and hitting the sunny beaches of L.A.

Check out the excerpt from the Glamour interview below:
On unflattering paparazzi shots taken in Mexico keeping her from hitting the beaches of Los Angeles in a bikini for years:
“It was really nasty. I took it very personally, and I have not [been comfortable} in a bathing suit in Los Angeles for years because of it.”On all the females she’s met questioning their appearance to some degree:
“I have not met a woman who would not be at all unsure of themselves. You just have to focus on the positive things.”
We’re glad Lauren is embracing her flaws; it is a daring feat for anyone to be on a magazine cover topless and she looks exceptionally well doing it.
