At 60, Rinna claims she likes to surprise people, and her new look certainly appears to satisfy that ambition. At Paris Fashion Week in France, the actress debuted a dramatic blonde pixie cut, documenting each step of her bold transformation process throughout the week.
A shock change from the usual dark-brown bob she sports, Rinna’s decision was discussed at length in the comments section on Instagram.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared a video of herself dancing around her hotel room earlier this week, shortly before stepping out at the Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show with a chin-length brunette bob.
Just one day later, however, her appearance was almost unrecognizable as she debuted a slicked-back blonde hairstyle for the Balenciaga Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show.
As per reports, Rinna complemented her new hair-do with a head-to-toe black bodysuit beneath a leopard-print coat. Later that same day she was spotted at the Viktor & Rolf Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show, swapping her slicked-black look in favor of a more spiky, messy number.
Rinna documented the lengthy transformation process she had undergone in a video posted to her Instagram page.
“I love change, I love freshness,” Rinna can be heard to say in the clip. “You know what I really love to do? I like to freak people out. And this will freak people out.”
Her aim was to ‘freak people out’, and there can be no questioning the fact that it definitely got folk talking. The majority of comments were positive, highlighting Rinna’s beauty and championing her bold decision.
Inevitably though, there were those who left rather more negative opinions.
One person wrote simply: “Nope. Wrong 2 get.”
“Not a good look with the skin tone and dark brows,” another added.
“They did you dirty gurl,” wrote a third.
“You look like your gay husband,” said another.
A fifth opined: “Girlfriend, you look every bit your age. Stop trying to be young.“
Of course, this isn’t even the first time this year that Rinna has switched up her look. Back in April, she dissolved her facial injectables after public criticism, while earlier this month she showed off a new, androgynous hairstyle that sparked plenty of fan feedback.
“I’m an actor and I like to play characters. Doing regular photo shoots came along after I’d been on a reality show for eight years and I started to wear wigs and explore fashion,” Rinna told Only Natural Diamonds at the time.
“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.’”
