Fashion fearlessness runs in the family.
Lisa Rinna stars on the cover of Only Natural Diamonds magazine’s latest issue, and Style got an exclusive sneak peek at the accompanying interview, in which the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star reflects on some of the wild looks she and daughters Amelia and Delilah have modeled in photoshoots over the years.
“It takes a lot to shock me, but I think I shock them,” said Rinna, who’s posed in everything from skintight latex to see-through catsuits. (True to form, she didn’t bat an eye when 22-year-old Amelia went topless for the cover of Harper’s Bazaar France last year.)
“I’m pretty jaded. I feel very comfortable out of my comfort zone. If it shocks people, great. I love to shock people. I love to make people go, ‘Oh my God, look what she’s done now.'”
Despite always being game to push the envelope with her outfits and hairstyles, however, Rinna said she’s taught her model daughters the importance of “kindness and gratitude” in the industry, saying, “If you’re not kind to everyone, if you’re an asshole, and if you’re not grateful for what you have, you’re not going to make it.”
And Rinna certainly has plenty for which to be grateful in the fashion department. She told Only Natural Diamonds that instead of a typical walk-in closet, she has “a whole room” in her house for her clothes and shoes, including the many vintage pieces she’s amassed over the past three decades.
Among her favorite pieces? A 1994-era Alaïa dress from her husband, Harry Hamlin — the very same one Amelia tried on in 2021.
“I’d always loved fashion, but I couldn’t afford it. So when I met him and he bought me that dress, it was like he unleashed the fashion monster,” she explained. “Then I thought, OK, I’m going to spend the next 30 years making sure I make enough money so I can buy these clothes because I love them so much.”

She’s also got plenty of “sentimental” jewelry in her collection, including a “stunning” Fred Leighton ring set with diamonds from Hamlin’s mother and grandmother.
“You don’t see me wearing it a lot because it’s huge and I’m careful with it,” Rinna told the magazine.
As for Delilah and Amelia, they stand to inherit a particularly special piece from Rinna’s late mother, Lois.
“Her engagement ring — it had two diamonds put together — she gave it to the girls so they could each have one of the diamonds. I thought that was sweet,” the former “Housewife” revealed.
“Toward the end, my mom was like, ‘You guys pick what you want.’ It’s meaningful to have those pieces.”
