Lisa Rinna Embraces 'Understated Opulence' with Evolving Style
The television personality and author discusses her current fashion philosophy and a few of her favorite items.
TV personality Lisa Rinna, known for her roles on "Days of Our Lives," "Melrose Place," and "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," has evolved her public persona and style. Rinna, who also recently appeared on "Traitors," describes her current look as "classic, simple and chic — but with risks."
Her fanbase grew significantly from her appearances on reality television, where she showcased an unfiltered side. Now, in what she terms her "Rinna-ssance," the two-time New York Times best-selling author has become a fashion figure, admired by designers such as Marc Jacobs and Balenciaga.
Rinna credits her model daughters, Amelia Gray, 25, and Delilah Belle, 28, as her style inspirations. "I copy them," she admitted, adding that they possess "the coolest style." Despite this, she playfully notes that her daughters have not yet fully recognized her own fashion sense.
Among her current favorites is a "Lisa F%$&ing Rinna Hates Nukes" crewneck sweater, which she says helps her communicate efficiently. She also favors a Balenciaga Le City Small Bag, describing it as "always ready to go" and spacious enough for essentials. For reading material, her own book, "You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It," is a source of pride.
Rinna maintains her signature hair with Augustinus Bader's The Shampoo and pairs FRAME The Gray Jeans with a white tank for casual outings. Travel is made easier with The Trunk Suitcase, which she calls her "perfect travel bag."
Accessories play a key role in her updated aesthetic. Quay's Set List sunglasses are a go-to for Los Angeles life, while Jillian Dempsey's lip gloss serves as a "secret weapon." For workouts, she relies on Lululemon's The Mat, stating, "I have a relationship with this yoga mat."
Finishing touches include Jimmy Choo's Faiz 100 Pumps, which she finds versatile for various occasions. A Ruslan Baginskiy hat makes a bold statement, and the Diptyque Ambre Candle creates an enveloping atmosphere, ideal for relaxation. For skincare, EltaMD's UV Clear Tinted Broad Spectrum SPF 46 is a daily essential due to its lightweight, non-greasy formula that stays out of her eyes.
