At Wednesday night’s premiere of “The Hills: New Beginnings,” much of the MTV reality show’s old crew — plus newcomers like Mischa Barton and Brandon Lee — dressed up in designer gowns and sharp suit jackets.
When the original “Hills” debuted over a decade ago, however, the cast had a very different ideas about what constituted red carpet attire; think T-shirts, scarves and satin body-con. Ahead, see what Whitney Port, Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Audrina Patridge and even Justin Bobby wore back in the day.

At a Season 1 screening of “The Hills,” Whitney Port went for flapper-style sequins and body shimmer. At the “New Beginnings” premiere, she chose a sexy, sheer ruffled gown by Alice McCall.

Back in 2008, Justin Bobby never met a fedora he didn’t like. These days, he’s cleaned up his act and embraced classic suiting — just don’t expect him to cut off those long locks anytime soon.

Out of everyone in the cast, Heidi Montag’s unquestionably the one who’s changed the most over the past decade. But while her face and body may look completely different than they did back in 2006, she clearly hasn’t lost her love for a sparkly party dress.

Series villain-turned-fan favorite Spencer Pratt’s undergone quite the makeover, too. In place of the T-shirts and bling he wore to the show’s Season 2 premiere back in 2007, the crystal aficionado’s now rocking classic moto jackets — and knows his 1-year-old son Gunner is his best accessory.

Stephanie Pratt hasn’t lost her taste for strapless gowns, but the blue floral number she chose for the “New Beginnings” premiere was a big step up from the too-long metallic dress she wore to the Season 4 premiere of “The Hills” in 2008.
