Lisa Rinna, renowned actress and former star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” has revealed that her daughters, Delilah Belle Hamlin and Amelia Gray Hamlin, are her biggest fashion influences. At the WWD Style Awards in Los Angeles, Rinna, 61, shared with PEOPLE that her daughters’ impeccable style often inspires her own fashion choices.
Rinna’s Daughters: Models and Style Icons
“They have really great style,” Rinna proudly stated about Delilah, 26, and Amelia, 23, both successful models. Rinna admitted to closely observing her daughters’ fashion choices, stating, “Come on, look at them. … I watch everything that they do.” This maternal admiration extends beyond mere observation; Rinna actively incorporates elements of her daughters’ styles into her own wardrobe.
At the inaugural WWD Style Awards, an event celebrating prominent figures in the fashion industry, Rinna recounted a recent fitting where her casual attire of baggy jeans, a tank top, bomber jacket, and Mary Janes with socks drew comparisons to Amelia’s style. “I walked in, and they said, ‘Oh my God, you look like Amelia.’ And I went, ‘All right, that’s an amazing compliment.’ ” This anecdote highlights the undeniable influence of Delilah and Amelia on Rinna’s personal style.

From High School to High Fashion
Rinna shares her daughters with her husband, actor Harry Hamlin. Both Delilah and Amelia pursued their modeling careers in New York City after graduating high school. Delilah made her runway debut at New York Fashion Week in 2016, with Amelia following suit the next year. Their shared passion for fashion has created a unique bond between mother and daughters, allowing them to connect on both personal and professional levels.
A Shared Fashion Journey
The connection between Rinna and Amelia deepened when they both participated in Copenhagen Fashion Week in February 2023. Rinna walked the Rotate runway, solidifying the intertwining of their careers. “I think it’s been so beautiful for the two of us to be able to go on this fashion journey together,” Amelia shared with PEOPLE. “She’s the reason I am who I am. I am so lucky that that is the woman that raised me.” This shared experience further cemented their mutual admiration and influence on each other.
Amelia has often been seen embracing her mother’s vintage pieces, including a ’90s Alaïa dress and even Rinna’s Alaïa wedding dress for a Paper magazine photoshoot in 2021. “My mom has so many dresses in her garage saved up from over the years,” Amelia explained. This demonstrates not only a shared sense of style but also a deep sentimental connection through fashion.

A Family Affair: Beauty and Fashion
The family’s influence extends into the beauty industry as well. In 2022, Delilah collaborated with Rinna on a nude lip kit for Rinna Beauty. “When we were able to actually work together and do the photoshoot together, that was really fun as well,” Delilah commented. This collaboration further highlights the synergistic relationship between Rinna and her daughters, where fashion and beauty intertwine. Rinna’s daughters are not just her offspring; they are her muses, her collaborators, and the driving force behind her evolving style. They represent a modern mother-daughter dynamic, where mutual respect and shared passions create a powerful and inspiring bond.
