How Lisa Rinna went from Real Housewife to serious style icon with designer ... trends now
Lisa Rinna's four decades in Hollywood have seen her try on many different hats.
She's been a reality TV villain and soap star, hocked cardigans on QVC, modelled adult diapers in a now infamous commercial for Depend, penned a book of sex tips, and even become a viral meme as an M&M.
Like Madonna, the self-proclaimed hustler has mastered the art of reinvention, so becoming one of Hollywood's hottest style icons at age 60 seems par for the course for the former Melrose Place vixen.
Since quitting The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills two years ago, Rinna has swapped smashing wine glasses in Amsterdam for front row seats at Paris Fashion Week.
The outspoken star has strutted her stuff in runway shows, fronted campaigns for designer brands like Marc Jacobs, and even graced the cover of the prestigious CR Fashion Book.

Rinna recently accompanied daughters Delilah Belle, 25, and Amelia Gray, 22, to the Daily Front Row Fashion Los Angeles Awards, where Amelia was crowned Model of the Year.
It was a full circle moment for Rinna, who took notes from former co-star Yolanda Hadid by launching Delilah and Amelia's runway careers on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
While the soap veteran is new to being a style superstar, she's certainly no stranger to the world of fashion.
She and husband Harry Hamlin previously ran two clothing boutiques called Belle Gray, which they opened during a lull in their respective acting careers in the early 2000s.
Both stores were closed by 2012, but Rinna continued the Belle Gray brand with her own wildly successful clothing line on the QVC home shopping network for almost a decade.
Perhaps seeing that her days on RHOBH were numbered, Rinna started strategically carving out a spot for herself in the fashion world roughly one year before quitting the show in January, 2023.
Beginning in early 2022, Rinna started to showcase herself on Instagram in designer looks from luxury brands like YSL, Tom Ford and Fendi.
