Audrina Patridge Unleashes her Inner Supermodel as the New Bongo Girl

Tony Duran for Bongo

The Hills may be coming to a close this week, but things are just heating up for Audrina Patridge. Following in the stylish footsteps of other reality superstars like Kim Kardashian and Nicole Richie, Audrina is taking on the role of Bongo girl! Come fall, Audrina will front the affordable denim brand in its fall ad campaign. And even though she’s used to having a camera capture her every move, being a sexy siren at Bongo’s New York City shoot turned out to be no easy task for the reality star. “I’ve never done anything like this,” Audrina tells PEOPLE exclusively. “[Photograher] Tony Duran shoots supermodels so he had me jumping through the air and just letting loose and not worrying about posing.” Though it took a bit of warming up before Audrina could get in bombshell mode, getting to play dress up with some of her favorite items from Bongo’s fall collection definitely helped. “I’ve always loved skinny jeans but I also love the boot cut,” Audrina says. “I’ll roll them up and wear cute little flats or heels and a nice top just to kind of change them up.” And what could be a better fit for the brand than a denim connoisseur who admits to having “probably over 100″ pairs of jeans? Bongo will be exclusively available at Sears and Kmart for back to school. Tell us: What do you think of Audrina’s new role for Bongo?–Andrea DeSimone

Is Audrina Patridge Channeling Lindsay Lohan?

Rony Alwin

After five seasons of reality TV on The Hills, Audrina Patridge is working on her real acting career — the one she moved to L.A. to pursue. Patridge tells NylonMag.com that “right after I graduated, I moved straight to Los Angeles and just started going to auditions and castings.” And now after becoming a household name for just being herself, the star is turning in her first feature film role in Sorority Row, which she describes as having “lots of suspense. It’s going to keep people guessing and jumping, ’cause no one really knows who the killer is until the very end,” says Patridge.”And there’s lots of hot girls in it. Sorority girls.” Let’s see — a star who’s known more for her personal life than her movies with a horror film under her belt plus short-shorts and long crimped red hair — no wonder NylonMag.com says this shoot reminds them of Lindsay Lohan.
