Audrina Patridge plays it cool in ripped jeans at the airport… as she admits she wasn’t invited to Lauren Conrad’s wedding
It’s a good thing Audrina Patridge also has a new TV job to look forward to, since she wasn’t invited to Lauren Conrad’s wedding to boyfriend William Tell.
Audrina was pretty blasé about the whole non-invite thing as she left Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old was questioned at the airport TMZ whether she went to LC’s wedding and, while admitting she was happy for the bride-to-be, casually replied, “I don’t know.” I wasn’t invited yet.’
According to the site, it’s unlikely she will, as Lauren is planning a “non-MTV affair” without Audrina, Heidi Montag, and Spencer Pratt, with the possible exception of Lo Bosworth.
The girls aren’t exactly keeping up and Audrina is busy building her own career.
She’s already started racking up frequent flyer miles for her new hosting duties on NBC’s Emmy Award-winning show 1st Look.
Audrina was comfortably chic in trendy ripped jeans and a black T-shirt, with a sweater wrapped around her waist and high black sneakers on her feet.
She arrived armed with two large Louis Vuitton suitcases, which she happily handed over to the check-in staff at the curb before heading to the terminal.

Her newly blonde-accented hair flowed over her shoulders as she smiled behind her large, dark-tinted sunglasses.
If Audrina walked with extra bounce, there’s a good reason for that.
She’s clearly thrilled to have landed the job as host of NBC’s lifestyle show 1st Look, which will take her to new and exciting destinations, nightlife and restaurants all over the world.
Audrina will take over from former Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky in early 2014 – Ali will take on her new role as a full-time correspondent for E! take on! News, the sister company of NBCUniversal.
The Hills alum told The Hollywood Reporter that she had been watching the series regularly when fate intervened.

Dream Come True: Audrina is so excited about her new hosting gig that will take her new places around the world, saying, ‘I have a passion for trying just about anything’
“It’s one of my dream jobs because I love going on different adventures, and I have a passion for trying just about anything, which fits with what this show is about,” she said.
“I get to take the audience on this journey, and I can’t wait.”
Earlier this month, Audrina unveiled her new camera-ready hair color, which she changed from caramel brown to honey gold, courtesy of the Andy LeCompte salon in West Hollywood.

While her locks look great, you have to wonder how the traveling gig will affect her romantic life.
Audrina is currently dating Australian BMX rider Corey Bohan, 31, who stars in Red Bull-funded online series Hanging Foul.
She doesn’t seem too concerned, telling Us Weekly in July that Corey is the love of her life: “We’ve been dating for almost five years, but we’ve been solid.”
