Kristin Elizabeth Cutler (born January 5, 1987) is an American television personality, fashion designer, and actress. In 2004, Cavallari came to prominence after being cast in the reality television series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, which documented the lives of her and her friends. After moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career in 2005, Cavallari appeared in several television series as minor characters. Since 2018, she has starred in her own reality TV show, Very Cavallari.

Early life
Cavallari was born in Denver, Colorado, one of two children of Judith Eifrig and Dennis Cavallari. She is of German and Italian descent. Following the divorce of her parents, she moved with her mother to Barrington, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. After Cavallari got in trouble as a young teen, her mother sent her to live with her father in Laguna Beach, California, where she graduated from Laguna Beach High School

Media career
Cavallari was in her junior year of high school when the first season of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County began production. At the time, she was involved in an on-and-off relationship with senior Stephen Colletti. Cavallari's romance with Colletti caused a rivalry with another cast member, Lauren Conrad. The love triangle became one of the series' central plot lines.

In May 2009, Cavallari confirmed she would be joining the cast of Laguna Beach's spin-off series, The Hills. She made her first appearance on the series during the fifth season's midseason finale on May 31, 2009, at Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's wedding, where she caught the bouquet. The second half of the season premiered on September 29, 2009, with Cavallari assuming the position of former main cast member and narrator Conrad. Despite originally signing a deal with MTV to appear in two additional seasons following the fifth, the sixth and final season concluded on July 13, 2010.

Cavallari was on the 13th season of ABC's Dancing with the Stars and partnered with two-time champion Mark Ballas. She was the third to be eliminated.

After Laguna Beach, Cavallari headed to Los Angeles and signed on the UPN reality television series Get This Party Started, which premiered February 7, 2006. The series was canceled after airing two episodes. She appeared on one episode of another UPN series, Veronica Mars, and went on to guest roles on series including CSI: NY, Cane, and Adventures in Hollyhood. In 2006, she signed on as Crystal in the horror film Fingerprints.

In 2008, she had a supporting role as Summer in Spring Breakdown alongside Amy Poehler. The film was released straight-to-DVD on June 2, 2009, and received mixed reviews. She also starred in the independent film Green Flash with Torrey DeVitto. In 2009, she starred in the independent American high school comedy film Wild Cherry, as Trish, which also starred Rumer Willis. She also starred in the straight-to-DVD film National Lampoon's Van Wilder: Freshman Year, as Kaitlyn. The film was released July 14, 2009, to mixed to negative reviews.

In March 2012, Cavallari commented her first Oscars with the E! team and in 2014, began 'hosting the half-hour fashion/lifestyle trends show called The Fabulist alongside Orly Shani (Fashion Star).'

On April 4, 2018, E! announced that Cavallari would be getting her own reality show, Very Cavallari. It premiered in summer 2018 and followed "Kristin as she opens the flagship store and Nashville headquarters of her rapidly growing fashion and lifestyle brand Uncommon James". The show was renewed for a second season on August 23, 2018.

Charity work and public image
Cavallari has been involved in the "Until There's a Cure" public service advertising campaign, to raise awareness and funds for AIDS and HIV research and vaccine development. In February 2009, she posed for the NOH8 Campaign in support of gay marriage.

In January 2010, she traveled to El Salvador to do charity work. In March 2011, Cavallari traveled to Kenya to do charity work with the nonprofit One Kid One World.

In March 2014, Cavallari drew "national criticism" for refusing to vaccinate her children, a decision her husband, Jay Cutler, and she made based on scientifically unfounded fears of the connection between childhood vaccination and autism.

From 2015–2016, the former website Gawker ran a series of daily articles on Cavallari for a streak of 415 days. The series, by Allie Jones, was called "500 Days of Kristin", although it ended after just 415 days, with the publication of Cavallari's book Balancing in Heels. By treating Cavallari's quotidian Instagram posts as newsworthy, the series appeared to gently mock the culture of celebrity women on social media.

Personal life
Cavallari married then-Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler on June 8, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee. They have three children: two sons, and one daughter.

In June 2018, Cavallari and Cutler put their mansion in Nashville up for sale for $7.9 million. The mansion is seen in numerous scenes of Very Cavallari. The couple purchased a mansion in Nashville for $4.2 million in April 2018.

Her brother, Michael Cavallari, was found dead on December 10, 2015, having died of hypothermia following a car crash.

Cavallari and Cutler separated in April 2020.
