Career

Lauren London began her professional career as a music video model, appearing in videos for artists including Snoop Dogg, Pharrell, Tyrese, T.I., Ludacris, Common, and Ne-Yo. That early exposure made her a familiar face in hip-hop and R&B culture before she became known as an actress.

London made her television debut in 2006 with a guest-starring role on "Everybody Hates Chris" in the episode "Everybody Hates Funerals."

Around the same period, she also became a spokesmodel for the women's collection of Sean John.

In 2008, London joined the first season of The CW's "90210" reboot as Christina Worthy.
