Audrina Partridge has given some insight into why she's gone for a lighter hair colour.

The Hills star was at a party for Maxim magazine’s Hot 100 celebration last week, when she spoke out about her new lighter locks.

She told People: "This actually is like my natural color. Dirty, light blonde." So why the sudden change? "It’s summery!" she says.

"And I’ve been kind of wanting a change for a while now- so I love it!" explained to gorgeous reality TV star.

We'll admit it, we've got a little bit of a style crush on Audrina Partridge at the minute, especially since she accessorised her new locks with some designer togs on the night.

Rocking a Doo-Ri minidress and Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain sandals, she's fast catching up with Lauren Conrad in the style stakes.
