Just when we thought there couldn't possibly be any more ways to wear braids, who better than trend-setting Lauren Conrad to bring us back in? At the Hollywood Style Awards last night in LA, the former reality show star styled her signature waist-length extensions in not just one side-braid, but two intersecting plaits. Celebrity stylist Byron Williams of the Byron and Tracey Salon created the look for Lauren, using her multihued frock as inspiration.

"We wanted to get it as narrow as possible because we didn’t want to overwhelm the dress," Williams said. "It was side-parted, and we French braided both sides. It’s kind of half-up, half-down." To finish off the look, he combined the two braids to create a "headband" in the back. Want some tips on getting the overlapping braids for yourself? Follow the link after the gallery.

Not surprising, considering that Williams - a veteran of the renowned Prive Salon in LA - counts Kirsten Dunst, Rachel Zoe, and Lindsay Lohan among his clients.

LL and RZ were there, as were Mischa Barton, Paula Patton, Bijou Phillips, and Monet Mazur. (Kirsten is probably a little bit busy promoting Spider-Man.) To see a gallery of the well-coifed stars at the event,
