Lala Kent as an adorable child

Even as a child “Lauryn” Kent knew how to mug for the camera — just look at how adorable she is with that over-sized bow and heart-adorned dress. And with a grin like that it’s hard not to admit that she’s basically the most adorable kid ever.

Lala and her father, Kent Burningham, were always close. So when he passed away in April 2018 Lala obviously took it very hard.

A lady in the making

We’re not the least bit surprised that even as a young girl Lala had impeccable fashion sense. Or that the camera loved her. Some things just never change.

Just Lala

Being on the show has turned Lala into quite the recognizable personality, even when she’s in chill mode and going “cakeup” free. Of course her outfit is still 100 per cent on-point.

Joining Vanderpump Rules

When Lala joined the cast in season four we weren’t sure if she’d last. Despite a smoking photo shoot for the new opening credits, it took her co-stars a while to warm up to her. Add in some heated moments with other celebs like 50 Cent and Jennifer Lawrence, and things have sometimes been… tense. Luckily Lala carved her own path, forged strong relationships, and now it seems like she’s here to stay.

Celebrating the dog days

Despite her newfound celebrity status, Lala has remained true to herself and one of her biggest passions: animals and animal rights. She’s got a big heart when it comes to the furry friends in her life, and she even appeared with some of her Pump co-stars in a PETA awareness campaign to help orcas.

A bright future

It’s been a big year for Lala, between her engagement to Randall and celebrating one year of sobriety last October. And we have a feeling 2020 is going to be an amazing continuation of that, what with her upcoming spring wedding and a new film, Axis Sally, alongside Al Pacino. Not too shabby for a small-town girl with big aspirations.
