Heidi Montag was ‘so sad’ to lose her clothes in the Los Angeles wildfires.
The 38-year-old reality star and her husband Spencer Pratt – with whom she has sons Gunner, seven, and two-year-old Ryker – were devastated when the blazes destroyed their home earlier this month.
And while the blonde beauty thinks it ‘sounds silly’ to admit, she is upset at the loss of her favorite outfits because of the memories they hold.
She told Vogue.com in her first interview with the high-profile site: ‘You know, I’m very conflicted with it. It sounds silly, but I was so sad about losing my clothes.
‘They’re just things, but they’re things that I spent 15 to 20 years collecting. Things I wore to a special place, with special people.
‘There’s a lot I can’t replace. Shoes I perfectly curated, like a pair of black pumps or boots. I keep telling myself, I rented them in this life!

‘I only grabbed two pairs of jeans, and I’m such a jean girl. I had a new pair of Paige jeans that just make me feel like me,’ she said.
The former Hills star has bought a few new items which made her feel ‘so much better’, but she can’t help but look back on her old favorites.
She added: ‘I went to Marshalls the other day and I bought a bunch of discounted sweaters. They’re good quality, about $20 dollars, but they make me feel so much better. I’m still looking back at TikToks and seeing, like, a sweater I wore and reminiscing.’
Because Heidi knows how much better her make-up makes her feel, she’d like to set up a charity to offer hair and beauty services for those who have lost everything in the fires.
She said: ‘I was so thrilled to see all these companies doing donation drives. It makes a big difference to how people feel and giving them some dignity. A bit of makeup can be so powerful! My bag of Patrick Ta, Hourglᴀss, Charlotte Tilbury, makes me feel grounded in myself.
‘I would love to create or support a charity for people who lost everything and do hair and make-up, to help people feel more like themselves.’
This comes after Heidi and Spencer said they want to make a reality show about ‘rebuilding’ their community.
The couple lost their $2.5 million home in the Pacific Palisades fire earlier this month and admitted they are ‘ready’ to let cameras back into their lives to give a glimpse in how they and their neighbors are starting afresh.

Asked if they would consider another reality show, Heidi told Vogue.com: ‘Well, you never know…It’s Hollywood.
‘There’s always something. We’re ready for it. We’d hope to even do something about rebuilding the town and showing our community. But I’m also balancing the music, being a mom.’
The couple have been trying to shield their sons from trauma as a result of the devastating fires, but admitted it has been difficult, particularly because their older boy has had to move schools.
Heidi said: ‘With our oldest, we’ve been really careful about not letting him see any pH๏τos or any media. I wouldn’t even put on the news when the fires were at our front door. I didn’t want him to see that and have that trauma. We’re talking through his feelings and validating them. Obviously, we try to be positive, but we also don’t want to shut down real fears.’
Her 41-year-old spouse added: ‘We’re encouraging a light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve put him in a new school—it’s a difficult thing.’

Spencer has encouraged fans to revisit Heidi’s music as a way for them to make money in the aftermath of the fires, and though her album ‘Superficial’ has topped the iTunes chart as a result, 10 years after it was released, she’s not really been able to appreciate the success just yet.
She said: ‘It’s an honor to be on the Billboard charts and number one on iTunes. That’s all because of people’s love, support, and appreciation. It’s made a dream come true out of a terrible moment.
‘At the same time, I’m trying to keep everything else together. I’m being a mom for my sons, trying to unpack… There are incredible highs and lows. Spencer is tunnel-visioned on work. I’m navigating through the rest of our life stuff.
‘I just have to check in and be present, as hard as it is and how extreme our circumstances are. It’s all still so fresh. We literally just lost our house. When I have a little more time to appreciate the music and see it translate more, be in that moment… I just don’t know when that will be.’
