Lisa Rinna celebrated a milestone for her daughter Amelia Gray Hamlin at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Sunday, 18 October 2026, when the model returned to the runway for a second consecutive year and wore the brand's signature wings for the first time. The television personality attended the event at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, with her eldest daughter, Delilah Belle Hamlin.
Rinna, 63, marked the occasion with a striking outfit of her own and spoke about the family significance of Amelia's appearance. 'I'm giving mother of an Angel', she said on the pink carpet. Watching her daughter receive her wings also brought back memories of Rinna's late mother, Lois.
Amelia Gray Earns Her Wings
Amelia, 25, made her Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut in 2025 and returned for the 2026 presentation. Although she had already walked in the event, this was the first year she appeared wearing the wings long associated with Victoria's Secret's runway models.
Rinna said Amelia and Delilah, 28, had wanted to become Victoria's Secret models since they were eight years old. Amelia's latest appearance fulfilled an ambition the sisters had shared since childhood, Rinna said. Delilah joined her mother on the pink carpet to support her younger sister.
The sisters are the daughters of Rinna and actor Harry Hamlin, who married in 1997. Both have worked as models, with Amelia appearing in international fashion shows and campaigns. Rinna is also known for her television work, including her years on the reality series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
In the days before the event, Victoria's Secret shared a social media video showing Amelia practising a runway walk with her mother. The clip showed the two taking turns walking outdoors as Amelia prepared for her return to the show. Rinna also praised Amelia at the InStyle Imagemaker Awards, calling her a 'force to be reckoned with'.
Rinna Remembers Her Mother Lois
Rinna linked Amelia's first set of wings to the memory of her mother, Lois Rinna, who died in November 2021 at 93 after suffering a stroke.
'To see her walk, she gets her wings for the first time, I mean, c'mon? I feel like my mom orchestrated this in some way. It's really special', Rinna said. Her reference to Lois was a personal reflection on the occasion.
Rinna has previously spoken publicly about losing her mother. At the fashion show, she brought Lois into her account of Amelia's achievement while celebrating the model's return to the catwalk with Delilah.
Mother and Daughter Dress for the Pink Carpet
Rinna wore an elaborate feathered headpiece with a structured, blazer-style corset gown and a voluminous tutu-inspired skirt. She paired the look with red-and-pink heels. Delilah appeared beside her in a sheer black lace dress, styled with a pale-blue feathered accessory. Photographs from the pink carpet showed the mother and daughter posing together before the runway presentation.
Amelia, meanwhile, prepared backstage for her second appearance in the show. She posted updates on Instagram Stories during the day. 'It's show day Angels!' she wrote alongside a selfie, as reported by Entertainment Now. Later updates showed her in hair and makeup, including a post captioned 'Almost timeee'. She also shared a brief pre-show exercise session using a resistance band.
Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Returns to Los Angeles
The 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show took place at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City after the previous two editions were staged in New York. Returning models included Gigi Hadid, while the programme also featured other established runway names and newcomers.
The musical lineup included Megan Thee Stallion, Megan Moroney, Tate McRae and KATSEYE. The performances accompanied runway segments featuring lingerie, accessories and the brand's distinctive wing designs.
The evening brought another family connection to the pink carpet: Rinna and Delilah were there to watch Amelia achieve the milestone they had discussed for years. As Rinna put it, seeing Amelia wear wings for the first time was 'really special'.
