Lisa Rinna, 62, Looks Like a Different Person With Shocking Platinum Blonde Hair

Lisa Rinna, known for Days of Our Lives and The Traitors, recently turned heads at a red carpet. She showed up to a Cannes event on May 21 wearing a platinum blond bouffant. She paired it with dramatic makeup, diamond jewelry, and a colorful dress. When she posted the look on Instagram, she added the caption, "Channeling the fabulous Carmen Dell'Orefice last night."

Dell'Orefice is one of the world's oldest working models. She appeared on the cover of Vogue for the first time at the age of 15 and is now 94.

Rinna's bold look had fans divided. One user on Reddit said, "I'm never gonna be mad at Rinna for having fun and being experimental with her fashion." Another said, "She's leaning into being ‘camp' and ‘iconic', especially after Traitors. Always trying to have a moment. I think most of the people who love her now never watched Housewives."

The star has always been a fan of fashion. She sat down with Vogue in 2025 to discuss her earliest fashion memories and said, "I grew up in Medford, Oregon, and we used to go to San Francisco to visit my grandmother and they had an I. Magnin there. My earliest memories were shopping at I. Magnin with my mom and just being enamored by the fashion and just the beauty in the store. Then I got my first Seventeen, Mademoiselle, and Vogue when I was 16. That really then transformed me because I would get it every month and it would be my escape into that I. Magnin world that I discovered with my mom."

She continued, "I'll never forget, when I was in the second grade, we moved to Oregon and I was wearing this little Izod dress that was really, really short and everybody made fun of me. I've always worn things that were different than what everybody else was wearing. In the sense of fashion, it was cool, but it was too much for where I lived."

Rinna released her memoir, You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It, this February. In it, "Lisa peels back the curtain on her rollercoaster career and her unapologetic approach to life, dishing on the highs, the lows, and the 'did-she-really-just-say-that?' moments that made her a household name."
