Lisa Rinna arrived in Paris ready to command attention — and she got it, though not entirely for the reasons she may have expected.
The longtime actress and reality TV star, now 62, stepped out in the French capital on January 27 to attend the Stéphane Rolland Spring–Summer 2026 haute couture show. Rinna chose a sweeping black gown with long sleeves and a high neckline, leaning fully into gothic elegance. The silhouette was sharp, dramatic, and unmistakably couture.
But once photos from the night began circulating, the focus quickly shifted from the dress to Rinna’s face.
Many viewers reacted strongly to what they described as an intensely “tuned up” appearance. Her cheeks appeared tightly sculpted, her jawline strikingly angular, and her lips noticeably fuller than ever. Paired with dark, moody makeup, the effect felt severe to some, amplifying every sharp contour and pulling attention away from the outfit itself.
While the exact details of any cosmetic work are unknown, online commentary made one thing clear: the transformation shocked even longtime fans. Critics described her look as overworked and exaggerated, arguing that the dramatic styling only heightened the sense that her face had crossed a line from polished to jarring.
The reaction was particularly striking given how different Rinna appeared just one night earlier.
At the Tamara Ralph Spring–Summer show, Rinna opted for an ornate white gown embellished with silver details, channeling an almost ethereal, snow-queen energy. Her makeup was noticeably softer, and the lighter palette seemed to ease the sharpness of her features. The result felt far less confrontational — still sculpted, but more harmonious.
Rinna has never hidden her history with cosmetic procedures. She has openly discussed getting silicone injections in her lips in her 20s, as well as years of facial fillers. And she’s made it clear that public criticism doesn’t bother her.
In a January 2024 interview, she dismissed the idea of “aging gracefully,” saying she has no interest in meeting anyone else’s expectations. She declared that she plans to age on her own terms — loudly, visibly, and without apology.
That philosophy was on full display in Paris.
Whether fans loved or hated the look, Rinna once again proved she’s not chasing approval. She showed up exactly as she wanted to be seen — and if the internet recoiled, that may have been part of the point.
