Lauren Conrad wore a chic side braid to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week September 2009 (Bauer Griffin)
Lauren Conrad with a side braid Side braids are showing up all over Hollywood.

The woman offers instructions on how to do a single french braid--not what this style requires--but the mechanics are essentially the same on a smaller scale.
